Well of course it’s political. The choice to highlight one particular outcome and issue a press release on it at the climax of the most politically divisive event of modern times can’t be construed any other way.

To start reading a political stance into the press release is a significant leap. The University will want to maximise the exposure of its work and if its research generates such evidence it will the consider whether such a headline is worth deploying v any offence it might cause.

We've already left the EU.

Conflating a desire to extend our current relationship with the EU because of Covid 19 with a desire to remain closely tied to the EU is poor judgment.
As with Pierre, you’re hiding your weak arguments behind pedantry. As Pierre already observed, your preference to avoid the issue speaks volumes.
