Britain refuses to sign global vaccine treaty that would force it to give away fifth of jabs
Britain is refusing to sign the World Health Organisation’s pandemic treaty while it insists the UK would have to give away a fifth of its jabs, The Telegraph understands.
The UK is firmly against such vaccine-related commitments and will not sign any form of the pandemic agreement that undermines Britain’s sovereignty.
Representatives of the WHO’s 194 member states are halfway through talks to try to agree to the WHO Pandemic Agreement, an initiative first announced in May 2021.
"Sir" Keir Starmer is a technocrat, he'll sign it unless the pushback against it is more powerful than he cares to tackle. In which case he'll probably go for some lesser deal first, but this is his kind of gesture while preserving sovereignty isn't. Not that there is much left to preserve.

Outsourcing risk means outsourcing expertise. He probably thinks the approval of supra-national bodies is superior to anything else in politics.
Sam - I'm sure he thinks that, he comes across as a backer of official expertise, showing little inclination to be sceptical enough to go with anything more nuanced. As a PM he could be much worse than voters presumably hope for.
Surkeer Shtarmer is this old CGI character with better CGI but reduced charisma.

Prove me wrong.
Doonhamer - I can't prove you wrong, it's far too plausible.
