Did anything cause this? He must have bene hoping to return as a £250kpa columnist at one stage. Although once he ceases to be PM, he'll have plenty of more lucrative offers even if they're not coming not from the Mail or Telegraph.

I don't truthfully know, however I suspect it's a combination of their click-baity news strategy and the suspicion he might not be in the job come the next election.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Prosecco time! My Christmas presents are unwrapping themselves early this year!
Great news for the UK, we now have the opportunity to get someone competent and less acerbic in place.
Mail article here - it says more information later tonight. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...lks-Boris.html
Coincidentally, Frost wrote an article for today's FT blaming everyone but himself for the lack of progress made in Northern Ireland. I wonder if this was planned as part of the run-up to his resignation?

As the Brexit pantomime goes, "He's not behind you!", he being Johnson.
The next person should be recruited on ability, not the fact that they're a Conservative Lord who favoured Brexit.

You don’t half talk some utter nonsense. Lord Frost was an excellent Brexit Minister.

From the EU's perspective, you're probably right.

Re: Britain outside the EU
We don't have a good deal - but we've left. I wish that we'd just dropped out of the EU and then allowed things to find their level after the Macronisations would have died down.
