UK rejoins EU’s Horizon science programme<\/h3>\n

Rishi Sunak has been blasted by a leading Brexiteer after the UK formally signed up for the EU’s science program Horizon yesterday. The deal, which will cost the UK \u00a32.4billion, was part of the Windsor Framework Brexit agreement earlier this year in tackling problems around the Northern Ireland border.<\/p>\n

But former Brexit Party MEP Ben Habib has joined Conservative former leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith in being extremely critical of the decision to rejoin the EU’s Horizon program warning that it is not a benefit for the UK but one for Brussels. In particular, Habib has warned that it means Britain is now directly funding and supporting EU plans to create its own army on the continent against British interests.<\/p>\n

He also questions what value the EU can provide to the UK in scientific research when it does not have one of the world’s top universities while Britain has three.<\/p>\n

Mr Habib said: “How can it assist us to be a member of a European-based and led research programme? There will be no exchange of ideas, the EU will merely gain free access to our know-how. Sound like a lousy deal? It is.<\/p>\n

“But it is worse than their simply stealing our ideas. We will have to pay them for the privilege. They will steal our ideas and our cash. Admittedly we will get some of our own cash back – but not all of it.<\/p>\n

“It could not be a worse deal; except, this is the EU, so of course it could.”<\/p>\n

He went on: “Horizon Europe is not a benign research programme. It is one aimed at supporting the EU’s political aims. If you do not believe me, read their home page – it is clear as daylight.<\/p>\n

“The UK, having left the EU, will be giving our knowhow, and paying money over to the EU to promote its political aims.”<\/p>\n
