Lord @DavidGHFrost isn’t happy with the #NorthernIrelandProtocol that HE negotiated. He wants to “return to normal”. Isn’t #EU membership “normal”? That avoided ALL the problems Frosty is griping about and it's what he supported BEFORE the #EUReferendum. Watch ½-minute video.
Before the #EUreferendum, the then Mr @DavidGHFrost strongly supported the case for Britain to REMAIN in the #EU. He said then AGAINST #Brexit: “Even the best-case outcome can’t be as good as what we have now.”
As for the UK going it alone, @DavidGHFrost said BEFORE the #EUreferendum:
“The more independent your national trade policy is, the more difficult it is to negotiate completely barrier-free access to any other country.”
“The more independent your national trade policy is, the more difficult it is to negotiate completely barrier-free access to any other country.”
As for Britain giving up access to the #EU’s #SingleMarket, @DavidGHFrost claimed BEFORE the #EUreferendum:
“It simply isn’t worth jeopardising access to the Single Market for the sake of global trade.”
“It simply isn’t worth jeopardising access to the Single Market for the sake of global trade.”
Lord @DavidGHFrost now says that the repercussions of the #NorthernIrelandprotocol on the flow of trade between Britain and #NorthernIreland had been "underestimated".
Underestimated? It was the protocol that HE personally negotiated.
Underestimated? It was the protocol that HE personally negotiated.
Lord @DavidGHFrost has called for the #NorthernIrelandprotocol to be renegotiated and “common sense” from Brussels. That has infuriated the #EU. @SimonCoveney, Ireland’s foreign minister, said Frost had been more focused on “media messaging” in the UK rather than problem-solving.
Oh dear. Have you slipped up again, Lord @DavidGHFrost? Time for a quote by J.R.R. Tolkien:
“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.”
“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.”
