Boris Johnson says 1.3m people have been vaccinated across UK, 1.1m in England.
650,000 of them are over-80 which is 23% of that cohort.
Today @theipaper, @thetimes & @TheSun all call on the government to start publishing daily data on how many people in the UK have been vaccinated.

The figure of 'nearly/around a million' currently being bandied around relates to 9 days ago. We won't get an update till Thursday. pic.twitter.com/xNR5UVXrxO

Govt confident that Ox/AZ 'fill and finish' process in Wrexham is now going well. No shortages of inputs.

I'm told that by the end of this week we should "should start to see that acceleration" needed to get the job done in good time.

More from Government
Abbott is pushing a lie to protect incompetence. There is no Federal oversight of the Texas Grid, ergo fewer regulations (sound familiar) - so point one: state legislature needs reform. 2/
2. Point 2: there were clear signs the grid would get overloaded under extreme cold conditions. Why? Due to a vacuum of regulations mandating winterization of turbines and power generators. This from sources, in Texas!
3. Point 3: Of the power shortfall that hit Texas, over 80% was due to problems at coal and gas fired plants. Power generators were just not winterized. Decisions to do so have been ignored since the 1990s.
4. Point 4: these are winterized wind turbines in Denmark. The ocean is frozen. The turbines are generating.
5. #Texas| the main issue is: catastrophic governance at the State level (no Federal oversight of the Texas grid) failing to allocate funding to winterise the Natural Gas, Coal and Wind Turbine elements that contribute to the grid. (~ 80/20
Texas Gov. Abbott blames solar and wind for the blackouts in his state and says "this shows how the Green New Deal would be a deadly deal for the United States of America" pic.twitter.com/YfVwa3YRZQ

Same thing in Denmark. It's cold enough here that the ocean is frozen and yet look at those reliable windmills just chugging along. pic.twitter.com/1NTljk7hk9
