It's amazing then that because Sturgeon is still intending to do so, why that's playing politics or endangering lives just to relay figures and information.

Of course it will be overlooked as likely missed opportunities, the lives Johnson and his Ministers have lost unnecessarily via their incompetence.
As usual.

Sturgeon wasn't going to be the only one releasing figures, maybe there's room for debate on the other aspects of the story.

I have to again agree with the basic point and comment from TS.
Also your own above.
Your first line absolutely right.

Of course getting true figures and all relevant information has been totally lacking all through from the UK government.
One of the main criticisms levelled at it all through this pandemic across the board.

Except from the diehard Con supporters however across all media.

All vaccine news, should be positive and welcomed.
Plus congratulations to all who've put in endless efforts to get them.
Even to the government on it's ambitious plans of vaccination too.

However, that doesn't mean we shouldn't have all figures and information as to all the vaccines really.
With nothing withheld.

Why would anyone want information and figures withheld from the people who will be getting the vaccines?
Maybe that's the real question.
That perhaps Johnson should answer but as with all questions, he likely never will.
He seems possibly quite a control freak does Johnson.

To be fair, and I am far from a Boris fan, he is trying to protect our own national vaccine scheme surely? The UK contract is none of the EUs business and if the roles were reversed there would be no transparency from them I'm sure. Nicola is well within her rights to release her own information as the leader of Scotland, I'm just not really sure why she feels the need to. The EU are effectively trying to reduce the UK supply which will impact on her citizens.

I may very well be missing something. From my understanding Nicola is going to share details of our contracts, I don't think we are withholding any info on efficacy or uptake but it feels to me very much like the EU is trying to bully AZ and the UK as they are bigger than us.

In a nutshell, its about supply figures not efficacy

Are they asking Israel who have vaccinated 20% of their population with Pfizer for their supply contracts..nope
