Brexit effect?
Just a coincidence of timing Farnborough is often used for this kind of announcement.
The UK is a member of the Outer Space treaty, has been since 1967, so I don't think there's a technical hurdle to launching a rocket from Brexit Britain (Assuming the fuel and rocked is already on the island).
(Of course whether we can afford to when we can't export any goods is another matter)
So yeah, nobody is going to do any space flight from Northern anything.
