And why do you have to be a member of the EU to participate in the programme?

Because we are taking delivery of F-35?

I guess they'll never be another MRCA programme

There's only so many times you can refurbish Canberras.

Another shared programme where, no doubt, the French only want the lead on the engine.

Oh! And on the airframe, and the avionics, and perhaps, software, etc, etc.

Don't worry about it, alphabet soup and partners will change for the next 20 years.

If i recall correctly the French started off in the Tornado and the Typhoon programs only to go their own way with Mirage 2000 and Rafale. So if past performance is anything to go by...

Oh, and that the UK is already in a program with another NATO nation - Turkey:
