So, the cost of rejoining the Erasmus scheme is £570m for 2027; almost double the scheme contribution when we were members of the EU.

While its good to see the scheme back for university students, its difficult to see how this can be anything other than (another) aspect of the costs of Brexit.

What we once had is now nearly twice as expensive after five years. Keir Starmer may say its a win for the 'reset', but once again we're worse of than we were!
