UK to rejoin the EU’s Horizon science programme

The UK is set to rejoin the EU's Horizon science programme after two years of absence post-Brexit, Sky News has been told.

Sky News understands that Mr Sunak has authorised the deal in principle and is likely to speak to Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission President, to finalise it within hours.

Why did the politicians allow the vote in the first place? They were all told leaving the EU would be a big mistake. So now its the slow walk of shame back to the EU😂

I think she means UK to rejoin EUs Horizon science programme

[iaindouglas]

Woo, no doubt Sunak will be spouting off about “World leading” bollocks again that really means nothing to hard pressed working people

[leecoping]

The UK is going down hill without the EU, and the people of the UK know it!😆

Bit by bit we will rejoin EU institutions and drop the nonsense of brexit. U.K. quality mark already dumped in favour of the EU CE mark, this will continue

Arrr....That's good of them, they are going to let us give them a load more money...

Why join the EU Horizon ? Can we not have our own horizon- we have limitless talent plus resources.

Despite U.K. voting Brexit Rishi has agreed to pay €2.6 billion per year for this. Unless it’s out of his own pocket he needs to go.

EU shouldn't be doing this UK have voted for Brexit , UK shouldn't not be allowed to have acess to these programs from part of EU . I don't know why EU allows this to happen , UK a country that so badly have spoken about EU, they should be keeping UK away from EU business or scientific research

The sooner we reverse the lunacy of Brexit the better.
