And Johnson once again saying once he’s won the war for Ukraine the best course of action for them is to join the EU. Satire is officially dead as reality has knocked it into a cocked hat……..
How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

A bit of an insight into why it was so easy to get people to vote for brexit.
It's like the comment made by the EU hater and arch leaver Michael Gove after a question about the protocol regarding Northern Ireland, and he replied they would be in a very good position becuase they would continue enjoying the benefits EU membership would bring.
It's the only region in the UK prospering at the moment.

A trade war with the EU would be absolutely hilarious. Foaming Farage, Fuming Frost, Mad Mogg and Shaking Sunak will be fully exposed as the charlatans they are. Should it happen I’d imagine Boris will be moving to become leader of the Tories on the rejoin the EU ticket and thus becoming PM trying to reverse everything he agreed whist he was…….PM!Sunak ‘risks full-scale trade war’ with Brussels by scrapping EU laws

As I’ve said many times, satire is dead as real life politics have rendered it pointless…
Whatever the nut jobs running the country want to say and do to appease their supporters, and they will say anything to keep them onside, reality can't be avoided, and there is a reason the 'bonfire of EU laws' hasn't, and won't, happen.
It's impossible. There are too many agreements we have signed over the decades that interlink us with other agreements we have signed, and all of that is backed up with our signature on the Vienna Convention on the Legality of Treaties we signed in 1969.
Making a headline statement is all well and good, and it will appeal to the less informed in the electorate that think, now we have left the EU, we are free to act as we please, but cold, hard reality can't be avoided, and our reputation as a dependable and reliable country that honours it's commitments will crumble into the dust if we refuse to ackowledge our binding agreements. We will be seen as a pariah state, totally untrustworthy, and it won't just be the EU that react by imposing sanctions on us, but the rest of the world.

Oxbridge?

I do not recall the Remain camp stating at the time that this would happen. Remain just assumed the prevailing status quo would prevail.
The status quo was never going to be a vote winner as the electorate wanted change.
Has anybody actually looked at what the Horizon Europe scheme actually is? I have
What is Horizon Europe?
Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation with a budget of €95.5 billionIt tackles climate change, helps to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and boosts the EU’s competitiveness and growth.
The programme facilitates collaboration and strengthens the impact of research and innovation in developing, supporting and implementing EU policies while tackling global challenges. It supports creating and better dispersing of excellent knowledge and technologies.
It creates jobs, fully engages the EU’s talent pool, boosts economic growth, promotes industrial competitiveness and optimises investment impact within a strengthened European Research Area
- European Innovation Council: Support for innovations with potential breakthrough and disruptive nature with scale-up potential that may be too risky for private investors. This is 70% of the budget earmarked for SMEs.
- New approach to partnerships: Objective-driven and more ambitious partnerships with industry in support of EU policy objectives
The Guardian article is somewhat misleading in relationship to the truth, but then its the Guardian who are just as polarised as the Brexit supporting media. Never trust Liberal media is my mantra, the Guardian is just another neo-liberal fan boy rag.
