How long will this be dragged out in the courts - probably long enough for this to be swept into the long grass and valuable research opportunities to be lost. Because both Switzerland and the UK are major research powers, could we run joint funded research initiatives and allow other countries (including the EU countries) to partner with us? Keep the EU out of it.

Hi Charles - Thanks for your comment. The Government have been looking at a 'Plan B' if the EU continue to fail in upholding the Deal. The £15 Billion of British funding set aside would instead be used for a domestic alternative.

I suspect European scientists will grow even more furious if the EU maintain their stance and the UK goes for Plan B instead.
