What can they offer and howmuch of a difference would it make if they would ?

Human spaceflight activities at ESA are optionally funded - which means that unlike non-manned spaceflight activities, ESA member states can choose if they want to fund manned spaceflight activities or not. To date the UK has decided not to. If the UK was to fund then it would mean more money into the manned spaceflight program (and more industrial contracts for UK companies to bid for and work on).
