These takes from Ros Atkins are excellent in giving context on what’s happening in Europe with AstraZeneca: a story about vaccine politics, EU bureaucracy and social panic

Leah Moyle And some of you may wish/be able to attend a celebration of Leah's life on Saturday in Falmouth - see events here leahmoyle.muchloved.com
