There is actually another way, and I think it's in the contract. It's time for the Commission to work with the memberstates the UK and with AZ in terms of working out how to boost supply.

The AZ contracts can't be filled, arguing over today's supply is just not productive.
Or, we can spend all our time arguing about what we can't fix. Get angry and outraged and maybe plant the seeds of resentment to harvest later on.
I mean... I know people are dying and everything, but why should they be our priority when we can make it all about nationalism?
Those really are the options here.

1. Look at the resources we have between us to see how we can leverage them.

2. Argue the toss and get angry and bitter.
Or both, and then it's down to the order.

I don't know about in politics, but in the private sector we have something called a post-mortem where we invest time in (2) only after we complete (1)
Investing in (2) before (1), when you have to deliver whatever you can whenever you can, is really bad business.

They EU are asking for early notification and it's for transparency reasons.
And it's not a special British clause.

If calling Brexiteers idiots is such a bad thing, why don't the Brexiteer politicians treating them like idiots get similarly castigated?
Or is it Brexiteer politicians who think we're ALL idiots?

Or do Brexiteer politicians get a free pass for treating people as if they are thick and making all Brexiteers look thick, because it allows them play victim when people react and call them thick?

How did spreading lies about the EU help, Laura?
And literally nobody was "ignoring the referendum". Ignoring it would mean not even turning up to the debates in parliament.

Pathetic political language from a coward who turned on the EU and started spreading lies to save her own seat.
And it was exactly cowards like Laura that meant that keeping the government WA from passing before the election was looking difficult.

Idea:

Businesses advertise their adherence to current standards and workers rights by adopting a Flag of Europe mark.
Customers will know, for example, that their data is safe under GDPR.
Potential employees will know the company respect their rights more than the Peruvian immigrant with a plummy voice who hasn't done a hard days work in his deceitful sad little life.

The problem with the regulatory argument is that the invention that leads to regulation tends to be regulated at the national level before the EU level. The EU then provides a European forum for regulatory convergence and a dominant power to represent it internationally.
There is also the inconvenient fact that the regulations are put together working with industry, and in this case it will be the same companies.
Essentially leading to very similar regulations in the same sort of time frame as other EU countries, only we won't get any input into the European recognised regulations or have the same weight in the global forums.

6. It was totemic in the 1st negotiation.

7. It was withering before we joined.

8. The Peterson report concluded we weren't competitive.

9. No longer a cheap meat replacement.

10. Lots of genuine complaints about the EEC yet but lies still common.

11. We're protectionist
In terms of how we're here on fish, the list goes on and on. There are a multitude of complex reasons which get over simplified to "It's the EU's fault".
And I don't believe in saying "fishare just x of the economy", the government should be doing their best to set policy to support all business no matter the size.
