Britain can recover from the self-harm of Brexit. Todayâs return to the EUâs Horizon project shows how | Simon Jenkins
Polls suggest a majority of Britons regret our exit. Rejoining the scientific programme could be the start of something bigger, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

The story itself is miserable. Horizon is an £81bn continent-wide programme to give Europe’s scientific research community a critical mass to compare with that of the US or China. It acknowledges the obvious truth that advanced scientific research needs collaboration rather than competition. Britain’s universities had been leaders of the pack, and they were among Horizon’s principal beneficiaries. If anything made sense of a united Europe, it was Horizon.
Another acknowledgement that the disastrous brexit project has failed. UK scentists will get access after several years of bexit exile.
If that gimp starmer had any sense he would put rejoining as his number one policy. Hes fucked if he doesnt because the UK is busted.
