Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 08:51:43 GMT

LONDON — Rishi Sunak’s flagship scheme to reopen the British economy during the first year of the coronavirus pandemic is “highly likely” to have led to increased deaths, the U.K. government’s former top scientist told the official COVID inquiry Monday.Patrick Vallance — chief scientific adviser to the government during the pandemic — made clear his deep disagreement with the “Eat Out to Help Out” discount devised by Sunak’s Treasury to get people back into restaurants in summer 2020.

In a joint paper shared with fellow EU governments, obtained by POLITICO, the three European heavyweights said Europe needs a “regulatory framework which fosters innovation and competition, so that European players can emerge and carry our voice and values in the global race of AI.” The paper sugg...
