PM: Vaccine Rollout Progressing Well, UK Capable Of Powerful Econ Recovery

UK

Latest pool clip for lobby reporters has PM Boris Johnson saying that the UK's vaccine rollout is progressing well, but that the situation is 'pretty precarious' and that the UK will have to 'remain vigilant' about coronavirus for a long time.

  • Says he does expect things to be 'different' by the spring, but that any reduction in restrictions will be in phases, with no 'open sesame' moment.
  • On the big political story in the UK, the potential U-turn on getting rid of the GBP20 pandemic increase in universal credit welfare benefits, PM doesn't give a clear answer, says gov't will 'continue to support people affected by the pandemic'.
  • On fishing (there has been a large protest by fisheries workers in London today angry at impact of the Brexit deal), PM says there are 'great opportunities' for fishermen across the UK, and blames some of the difficulties on exporting fish on COVID-19 restrictions. Says there is a GBP23mn compensation scheme for the fishing industry.
