On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

Prof David Strain ... said it had been decided to not widen the jab rollout because the new strains were not anticipated to be as bad as others. "The reason we're not vaccinating more groups is because the role of the vaccine is to stop spread and severe illness," he said.
