Summary: It is spreading faster than the most common strain in the UK. 

It is not thought it will affect the efficacy of vaccines.

Yes of course it is important to report however when it's posted on here with just the headline and not the sub-header: 
It is "highly unlikely" the new mutation will not respond to a coronavirus vaccine, Mr Hancock told the Commons today.

It may cause members of this forum to panic too much. Which nobody needs. 

Its half the problem, the UK Govt and the its media propaganda (formerly BBC) continue to pump these kind of scare messages and it will affect people, but trampling over our mental doesn't seem to bother them at all. They would be better off not saying these things. Everything in nature changes...

This is worrying because the strain we already know causes overflows in hospitals very easily, but we can lower the R number under 1 for quite a while with a moderate lockdown to lower transmission.

If this variant is 70% more transmissible, then hospitalizations will be way worse, which would need very strict lockdowns more often (which won’t happen anywhere anymore) We really need to increase the vaccine production like it’s wartime, or the first half of 2021 will be pretty bad.

we should've seen this being the mess it's become when boris' plan was to just let us all get it in the name of "herd immunity" the tories never cared about our health since day one of this pandemic until they had to take action far too late.
