So just how far behind the expected production is AZ? The UK only got a third, the EU is months behind schedule and half a dozen other countries are just around the corner waiting to have their contracts fulfilled.
> and the UK contract had clauses with teeth
Yeah, that would require halfway competent politicians, not something you find in the EU.
