So 'Brexit Brain' has walked away from Brexit talks but it has nothing to do with Brexit...🤔

[Soph0571]

Lord Frost has resigned from the Cabinet and it has NOTHING to do with the success of the EU managed NI protocol or the fact that from January 1st chaos is about to descend across all the borders in the land as the full border check requirements on goods entering the EU go in effect. NOTHING TO WITH BREXIT AT ALL. New Year is going to be a clusterfuck of queues, rejections, even less produce on the shelves and huge costs to business that are already struggling under the strain of living in a post Brexit pandemic Britain. But that has nothing to do with why Frost has resigned... OF COURSE NOT. So the Mail on Sunday is reporting on this resignation and Frosty is saying 'Brexit is now secure. The challenge for the Government now is to deliver on the opportunities it gives us. You know my concerns about the current direction of travel. I hope we will move as fast as possible to where we need to get to: a lightly regulated, low-tax, entrepreneurial economy, at the cutting edge of modern science and economic change.' What an absolute pile of shite. Brexit is about to get 100% worse for business and he is jumping ship before that shit hits that Brexit fan of bollocks. Gets to keep his seat in the House of Lords though so what does he care. And at least he has gone. Awful man doing what the Tories always do...



On the bright side Boris has lots of talent to pick from the pick up the delusional mantle of Brexit uplands.

1. And my son and his family are moving to London on January 1.

What a mess they’re going to dive into.

2. London is horrid at the moment

Omi is everywhere... lock down is an inevitability at this point

3. Frost resigning is a good thing - he was a hardliner, screwing things up for ideology

The only problem will be if Johnson thinks he needs to appease the hardliners by appointing someone just as nasty to replace him.

4. Now that the Brexit disaster is fully developed and baked into HMG he walks away to

watch the glorious avalanche descend on the grandchildren of The Enlightenment from a safe distance.

Smug bastard deserves more suitable environs like HM Prison at Wandsworth.

5. Frost's always been a hardliner. Just not always for the same side of the argument:

Mind you, he's not alone in that:



His resignation's timely. The next phase of the Brexit Border Operating Model kicks in on 1 January, and it's sure to be a barrel of laughs.

There's been a bit of scuttlebutt on Twitter about civil servants discussing the possibility of a wholesale climbdown that would give the UK "associate membership" of the Single Market. Since that would almost certainly also require a climbdown on the issue of freedom of movement - May's big bugbear/selling point, and the origin of most of the problems with Brexit - it seems far-fetched, but I'm not making bets on anything in the current political climate.

6. Yep, declare victory and move on to your next clusterf**k.

Very Trumpian.
