Sorry to disappoint you but it turns out that Frost was actually articulating British government policy on Northern Ireland, and Liz Truss is doing the same. Typically, the Independent is so wrapped up in its preferred narrative that it can’t see the basic consistency in the policy not changing just because the team leader charged with implementing (i.e. not formulating) policy has changed. For them, it must be evidence of Truss sucking up to Brexiteers and positioning herself for a leadership challenge.
