UK will rejoin the Horizon scheme, after Sunak's intervention in the NI protocol.

Good day for the UK.

This is great news. Closer relations to our neighbours are always welcome. A boon for science after a lot of uncertainty.

Is Brexit getting “softer” by the day?

Great news. Clearly makes sense. Shows that not everything connected with the EU is bad regardless of what hardline Brexiters would have had people believe.

Brexit will get 'softer' and 'softer' as the days go by. It makes sense.

This isn't a change in the tumescence of Brexit. We were always supposed to stay in the Horizon scheme, but the EU used it as a negotiating lever and refused us access.

Good to see that the problem has been solved.

I was being facetious. It is good. It’s like a divorce that gets a bit heated and acrimonious (usually because of the solicitors) but eventually settles when people see that it is sometimes possible to remain friends (or friendly).

It is good to see it resolved.

We played our part in losing access, let’s not pretend otherwise.

Nice spin but not quite… because the UK became “3rd party “ the UK originally wanted to stay in but didn’t want to pay or contribute for access…

Now they have agreed to do both…

As well as horizon, they have also agreed to rejoin Copernicus, which is the earth observation satellite program

Actually the most interesting bit is that the EU wanted the UK to rejoin Euratom, but the UK declined,

Be interesting to see what is next, Euramus would make sense (but they probably won’t as the immigration zealots would have a field day!) Europol? Blue skies?

I've no doubt that the EU are glad that we are finally back in.

All that access to Oxford and Cambridge, their world leading scientists, our fintech and our science parks.

What's not to like?

.yes

Sadly we should have always been part.

Windsor framework intervention was never necessary.

Our participation was signed into the TCA sadly thr E.U broke this agreement.

That's the first time I have heard that the UK wanted to be part of it but did not want to pay. I think I heard a while back that the EU wanted the UK to pay the full amount despite being banned from it for a few years. Not surprisingly this was not popular. The original agreement goes back to the original brexit deal so not sure why it makes it appear softer. It does show a country can pick what projects it wants part of and say no to those it does not want.

The UKs membership to Horizon was frozen due to NI Protocol disputes, I don't believe it had anything to do with money.

Indeed, that's roughly my understanding too and as I say, this is the first time I heard the UK did not want to pay its way to be a member. Obviously only wanting to pay while allowed to be a member seems reasonable. To me anyway

I see Catherine McBride is retweeting posts that are critical of this Horizon deal. Must only be a matter of time before Morley starts doing the same
