The UK government is that guy who gets to the cinema just in time to buy a ticket and catch the film, spends an hour arguing about the cost of popcorn then spends so much time arguing with the management for a partial refund for the portion of the film that he missed while he was fannying about that he only gets to see the end credits.
"UK facing ‘brain drain’ of cancer researchers after failure to join EU scheme"
This piece focuses on principal investigators (i.e., grant holders). The bulk of scientific research work is carrried out by postdocs and other soft-money researchers, and the effect on them of Brexit and the removal of free movement needs addressing.

It looked a week ago as if the UK was about to join the EU research programme Horizon Europe, but it seems to be back on hold and not a priority for Rishi Sunak (or more likely, his position is too weak to risk antagonising the brexiteers on his back benches). All very depressing and bad for Science in Europe.
'Scientists including physicist Brian Cox have reacted with a mixture of caution, anger and relief that UK appears set to rejoin EU’s flagship £85bn Horizon science research programme after a protracted #Brexit row.'
'Data shows UK was awarded €959m (£819.5m) in Horizon grants in 2019 but just €22.18m in 2023.'
'Even if we now associate to Horizon … we will no longer have a seat around the EU table where headline themes and priorities are being set.'
