But her e-mails.
She made a mistake. Took it back swiftly. Apologized.
What is there more to do?
'Strangely' only still a topic in the British press.
Seems to be a topic, still, for Guy Verhofstadt at least.
I think all anyone can now do is recognise that her and the Commission's judgment and competence are now as distrusted in the UK, by former Leave and Remain supporters alike, as must be Boris Johnson and his government by the EU, and that the initial misjudgment and missteps in the EU's vaccine procurement policy seem to be creating serious tensions within the EU.
Jean-Claude Juncker and Michel Barnier always seemed, at least to Brits, to be safe pairs of hands, even though we may have disliked them as negotiating partners, and the realisation that, for once, Boris Johnson was one of the adults in the room has shaken people's confidence a lot.
Brexit was never going to end on January 1 this year -- all that represented was the start of a new phase in the process, since the existing relationships are still there, and changing and adapting to the new conditions, as they always will.
Britain's departure from the EU will inevitably mean change and destabilization within the Union, since one of the largest economies has just left, and is no longer a brake/restraining influence on, or obstacle to, various other forces in the Union. Combined with the disruption caused both directly by Covid, and indirectly by its economic and social consequences, that's bound to lead to somewhat unpredictable and potentially volatile outcomes.
How confident, for example, can we be that Macron will still be President of France after next year's elections? Reasonably so, I hope, but a lot of things had happened by the end of 2016 that I wasn't expecting in February 2015, and vaccine nationalism might easily become a potent disruptive force in France and elsewhere.
Basically, the EU and the UK are stuck with each other, one way or another, and we have to find a way to make the relationship work as things evolve, because we're never going to be rid of each other, no matter how much some people both sides of the channel might wish it were otherwise.
