Why do you think David Frost is getting so worked up about a bit of paper he signed and is now regretting it? Just for the hell of it? Clearly not! He knows what he agreed to in the Northern Ireland protocol, even if you don't.
As a reminder, the grace period allowing imports of sausages and other chilled meats from Great Britain to Northern Ireland (they're usually required to be frozen when they enter the single market) is set to expire at the end of this month. That's a UK concern. EU concerns include Britain failing to implement basic parts of the new arrangements, including building and staffing border control posts for goods.
