Frost's intellectual dishonesty in full display yet again like a peacock's tail. 1/5
theguardian.com/politics/2021/…

Frost said the protocol had to be modified to recognise “two sovereign and autonomous entities, not a relationship of subordination or one where one party’s rules have to be applied mechanically by the other”.

But of course it is the type of Brexif HE & THIS government chose which leads to the application of the EU rules -like SPS checks- he complains of. They apply equally to any other country in the same position & indeed are applied by the UK towards third party countries.

This moaning -as if the UK was a "special case" as a former alumni of the EU or was somehow discriminated against- is profoundly dishonest & delusional. Frost knows it to be so but needs to keep the pretence for the baffled, delusional & permanently angry Brexit public.

Nothing changes in Brexit land 🇬🇧🦄🦄🦄. Lucidity & honesty have entirely vanished from the government's public discourse.
