International Development Secretary Liz Truss said French President Emmanuel Macron was wrong to claim the AstraZeneca vaccine is “quasi-ineffective” for the over-65s.She told The Andrew Marr Show on the BBC: “I don’t think it’s right for politicians to be commenting or making decisions about the efficacy of vaccines, that’s why we have independent authorities to look at these vaccines.“In the UK’s case, our authorities have said this vaccine is safe and effective, it’s being rolled out and it’s already making a difference.”
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones says the Labour government has brought stability back to the economy since high inflation under Liz Truss, and that businesses and working people will be pleased with inflation nearing the 2 per cent target.
