Wholly agree with your assessment. The partnership is inoffensive but minimal, and the hype which the government pushed its way has done it no favours. It’s several structured ways of talking to each other. Even the PESCO element is old hat: we were confirmed as participants a couple of years ago, but sod-all has actually happened.
