BOTH Labour and the Tories warned the European Union today against cutting exports of coronavirus jabs to Britain as the country expects a shortage of vaccines.

The stakes grow higher in a continuing row over supplies of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine. The EU has complained that it has not received the supplies it expected.

About 10 million doses of vaccine, mainly the Pfizer jab, have crossed the Channel to Britain, but Brussels has complained that no British-manufactured AstraZeneca doses have been sent in the other direction.
