This is a direct consequence of the disarray in the Cabinet and the Tories' chaotic approach to negotiations - Blomfield

Paul Blomfield MP, Labour’s Shadow Brexit Minister, responding to the announcement by the EU Commission that it cannot guarantee Horizon 2020 funding for British applicants post-March 2019, said:

“Horizon 2020 has been a vital source of research funding for UK universities. The Government’s failure to agree arrangements with the EU for research funding after March 2019 is undermining our world-class universities. This is a direct consequence of the disarray in the Cabinet and the Tories’ chaotic approach to negotiations. This should have been dealt with months ago and must be resolved immediately.”
