The bulk of "EU money" spent in the actually comes from the UK, because of the way the EU rebate works. It is knocked off the starting figure for the rebate, so than means an absolute minimum of 66% of the "EU money" has come from the UK. 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.

All largely irrelevant. That reduction will weaken the prosperity of the people of Cornwall, one of the country's poorest regions.

It's the delight some people take in hoping that everything Brexit related fails that is pitiful.  |
This is about the government not keeping its promises to the electorate. Something which shouldn't be brushed under the carpet.

I'm sure Ireland like the UK has plans for flying in medicines if there's port delays. A new direct ferry service to Europe should also help matters.

Ireland like the UK will suffer from no-deal. But it will be helped by the EU. We will apparently bailing out our industries too by adding to our country's massive debt mountain.
