"Compared with multivalent viral vaccines, we envision that a single protein-based antigen that protects against all three orthoebolavirus species that have caused previous outbreaks represents a more attractive alternative, which would be easier to manufacture and store than viral vaccines and could enable widespread vaccination strategies beyond ring vaccination."

Labour is claiming that £28 billion of investment in climate change a year is not possible. But that’s not true.

In that case, Labour's claim of unaffordability and the situation having changed does not stack. It's Starmer's choice not to do this.
