The "delight" is from the Irish and the Remain supporters. It is they who all along have constantly promoted the idea that the UK will simply roll over and give in.
The claim was made that the EU would be able to make up any gap.

The original claim that I replied to, was about the
cost with tariffs, not without.

Eg if £300m is spent by the EU in the UK, then the rebate is reduced by £200m.
The money for Cornwall comes from various "pots", not just the one listed.
We're not going to simply hand over the sort of money for big projects without checking them out etc. It's not meant to be a blank cheque to spend on whatever they want.
