Is this COVID Derangement Syndrome or Brexit Derangement Syndrome?

Or do they overlap?

I was wondering what on earth had happened before the excerpt in the OP. Ends up it was a boring and flat discussion of education up to 4:40, when Williamson started revving up then subsided again as they discussed the vaccine, then at 6:40 Ferrari triggers Williamson by mentioning Brexit, and all of a sudden it's WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Mr Williamson told Nick Ferrari at breakfast today: "I just think we have the very best people in this country and we've got the best medical regulators. Much better than the French have, much better than the Belgians have, much better than the Americans have.

"That doesn't surprise me at all as we're have a much better country than every single one of them, aren't we?"

Nick pushed Mr Williamson to answer whether Brexit has had an impact on the UK approving the vaccine, however he did not provide a clear answer.

"I just being able to get on with things, deliver it and with brilliant people in our medical regulator making it happen means that people in this country are going to be the first ones in world to get that Pfizer vaccine," he said, praising the "brilliant clinicians" in the regulator that have "made it happen."

I thought Williamson was getting roasted badly in the Twitter replies, but they have nothing on the YouTube ones!
