In a display not unlike Boris Johnson's policy on cake (pro having it and pro eating it) Cornwall Council (HERE) want to retain their office in Brussels even after we have formally left the EU.
The portfolio holder for economy and culture on the council, Mr Julian German, apparently said:
“There are still funding streams that are open to non-EU countries. In terms of trading and a wider fiduciary and cultural relationship, being in Brussels is beneficial,”
My advice to him is not to hold his breath for any EU funding after we leave.
Update: Birmingham and Bristol (HERE) also apparently plan to keep Brussels offices open after we leave!
