The UK is ready to rejoin the EU's Horizon science programme after two years of absence post-Brexit, Sky News has been informed.

The last deal is ready to be agreed inside hours and could possibly be introduced tomorrow by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as first reported at present by Bloomberg. Sources have confirmed the report back to Sky News.

The challenge has been sat on the prime minister's desk for weeks as he has been making an attempt to barter a better sum for British scientists to make sure they catch up after the two-year absence.

There had been fears the deal between the UK and and the EU might stall over the sums concerned.

Sky News understands that Mr Sunak has authorised the deal in precept and is more likely to converse to Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission President, to finalise it inside hours.
