Didn’t want to have to renegotiate the unimplementable deal he and BJ dreamed up.
>Former Brexit minister Lord Frost says he left his government position because he could not support Boris Johnson’s “coercive policies on Covid”.
That is a well lame excuse for resigning because he wasn’t up to the job he was given.

In the next few weeks he’ll probably seek to renegotiate that position.
Clown
Bollox.
He knows his Brexit deal is a disaster and he wants out by whatever weak-arse excuse he can muster.
I assume he will be giving up his unelected peerage now he no longer holds the Govt position he was given it for.
Lord Frost’s Clown School lesson of the day. Don’t stop honking even when you leave the stage.
Translation: I fucked up Brexit, because I’m incompetent and it’s a stupid idea, but I’m going to pretend I’m quitting over something else entirely.
Good riddance on all counts.
