The Long Shot: The Inside Story of the Race to Vaccinate Britain

On 3 April 2020, Kate Bingham was told that the likelihood of any Covid-19 vaccine working was 15% at best. But on 8 December 2020, the first NHS patient received a vaccine. Now nearly every adult in Britain has had a jab, lockdowns have ended and we can finally live with Covid. What lies behind this staggering success story? From a cottage miles away from Westminster, Bingham juggled vaccine suppliers, Whitehall, the media circus - and her daughter's exams. Political manoeuvring, miscommunications and administrative meddling nearly jeopardised the project. But perseverance paid off. Catapulted into a national crisis, Bingham's eclectic team secured the first vaccine doses administered in the West and saved thousands of lives in the UK as new variants struck. This is an unmissable insider view into how the Vaccine Taskforce beat the odds and delivered the scientific miracle we all waited for.

A brisk wit and intelligence characterises these poems by Kate Bingham. Her subjects are friends, family, work, the experiences of any day, but her keen and compassionate focus brings these moments vividly to life. Her gift is a point of view that is startling, moving and humorous. 'Things I Learned at University' is an ironic catalogue of the author's official and unofficial education; 'Etudes' charts a love affair with a series of poems of haiku-like concision; 'Nits' is an hilarious monologue on the fate of headlice; 'Cromwell Road' relays an unexpectedly poignant street confrontation. Reflective and playful, intimate and exuberant, these poems have a wry, deliberate logic of their own which makes Cohabitation an engaging as well as an illuminating first collection. "In Kate Bingham's excellent first collection Cohabitation we are dealing with poetry that is unafraid to play round with itself and take risks. Bingham is astute on relations, reflective in her meditations, unexpectedly funny in her askance look at things." Orbis Kate Bingham lives in London. Educated at Oxford, she is the author of two novels, Mummy's Legs and Slipstream. In 1996 she received an Eric Gregory Award from the Society of Authors.
