No necessarily - if the contract is just based on best endeavours then they're paying £300m for that. It'd be interesting to see the contract.
Best effort? They paid 300 million up front which is a pretty valid contract of sale.
If the shoe was on the other foot then the clamour to ban exports would be deafening which I just find a tad hypocritical.

I think the main difference between pre and post vaccine strategy has been that there’s no Tory backbencher against rapid vaccination. No matter where you stand, whether it’s humanitarian or economic or freedom concerns, mass vaccinations as quickly as possible are the answer.
Also the fact that supplies will have been procured through large existing companies means no chance for the usual cronyism.
The lockdown strategy has been beset by Johnson’s weakness and inability to accept people not liking him and he’s ended up dithering and waiting to the last minute and fudging trying to keep all the lobbyists happy.
He’s like some of the worst teachers I’ve worked with
I agree but it doesn't make it right.
No it is a type of agreement that accounts for unexpected production issues.
Can we also agree that the Chairman of AZ flouncing off is only going to make the situation worse?
Only if the reason for the flounce isn't to attend to something that relates to addressing the supply issue
seen it?
Said it before, big crap supply teacher energy.

Britain and EU clash over claims to UK-produced Covid vaccine

That would be how any other business would work. You go through the orders as recieved. If we ordered first we get delivery first.
Didn't we gamble and place orders way before we knew if it worked and promised to pay even if it didn't?
Of course if I was in the EU and being told there's no jabs to be had as we're on a waiting list I'm sure I'd be demanding something be done, especially if while being told there was none available they were being exported to other countries.
Certainly questions to be asked about how many orders were accepted and more importantly what promises were made about delivery times and how realistic those promises were.
Ah the called out for flouncing off so pretend not to flounce move.

I remember we clashed early on when you were convinced the virus wasn't going to be anything bad and last season wasn't going to be abandoned and you'd "dealt with" everyone, so I'll leave it thanks. You were the dribblingly positive corona guy at the time.
Posting an opinion piece offers nothing
I've already admitted I called that wrong
I know, but the way you went about it at the time puts me off engaging now.
‘I said they could do homework if they wanted but not if they found it difficult’
Looking at some old press releases it seems 700 million doses had already been ordered, including by the UK, by the time the EU got around to ordering.I agree getting orders fulfilled in the order they're placed. I think the EU are using the fact they paid up front as leverage (I'm assuming from this that we didn't btw) and this muddies the water a bit (tho in my opinion they are still mainly in the wrong here).
