Erasmus is a great thing but unless UK returns to the EU it will lead to a brain drain as our brightest and best will go where the opportunities are.
Since David Frost has NEVER been right about anything at any point when it comes to Brexit, this feels like a strong endorsement for our participation in Erasmus.

Erasmus will initiate a massive brain drain with all our best talent heading to Europe on a one way ticket. The only way it will work properly is if we are back within the EU.
Brexit a total disaster for Uk Farmers,Fisherman, musicians trade travel etc

A further move to lead us into the land of make believe and controlling the information space.
Liz Truss finally has a route back into No.10
No10 has sneaked out, at 4.50pm on the last day before Christmas, that they are cancelling the daily afternoon lobby briefing for journalists.
And they'll sometimes be cancelling the morning one too, to in favour of a televised press conference, to which "content creators" will be invited.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Teaching when to trust
As fake news accelerates, we need to teach our children how to think critically. Finnish schools are leading the charge

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
