Why? Vertex is a big pharmaceutical company with a novel treatment that is blazing the same path NWBO appears to be taking. It's not just NWBO that decided to strategically progress with the MHRA before the FDA.

Thoughts: Going UK 1st for RA approval seems to be gaining traction, even with large pharmaceutical companies. A good comparison of timelines and processes can be found in VRTX’s exa-cel and NWBO’s DCVax-L. Both are novel treatments. Both are, imo, going for ILAP in the UK. Both seem to be months ahead with the MHRA's regulatory path as compared to the FDA.
^^ Something to follow as VRTX & NWBO continue through the RA process.
