@exarder1377 You can not make her responsible for Brexit and UK`s economic downturn.

It isn`t. (I just put as many arguments in my statement as you).

@exarder1377 Your government agreed to this.

@G M The EU-UK deal is only favorable for the EU. UK`s most important sector, services, is not covered, UK has to follow EU regulations or it gets punished with tariffs, it lost Northern Ireland and Gibraltar, its fishery and haulier industry is badly hit, and non tariff barriers and custom declarations making UK manufactures noncompetitive against their EU competitors.

@G M It was a success for Germany, as their exports of goods to the UK is secured.

That`s why the first vaccine deployed in the US, UK and EU was developed in the EU?

@darrena5384 Because the UK has not joined EU`s scheme, it will not get the Moderna vaccine for months.

Who is more efficient than the EU? As UK fishermen currently find out, being not a member is rather inefficient for trade.

@remco4057 Uk is among the worst in all Covid related categories (infections, deaths, negative GDP, available hospital beds...). Only category it is currently decent is vaccination, and this has its price (quiet literal, they paid much more than the EU).

@darrena5384 I disagree. First, the UK paid far more for the vaccine. Second, it follows a different strategy: while countries like Germany only use half of their doses, saving the other half for the second shot, the UK is using all it has, hoping to get enough later. The UK does not have an unlimited supply, it ordered far less than the EU.

@reheyesd8666 May you elaborate? How am I incorrect that the first vaccine used in the US/UK/EU was developed in the EU?
