I'm catching up on the full Lord Frost speech now. I'm 2 minutes in and I'm already really embarrassed.
It's like he's literally trying to buy time by talking about any random historical anecdote that pops into his head!
Oh my god!
Lord Frost opened his speech by basically telling the EU: We don't negotiate based on reason. We're just angry.
How is Lord Frost even alive?
Surely just to breathe you need to know that you exist, and that's a level or self-awareness that is clearly beyond him.
I don't even want to make a video about this. Because... Quite simply...
Lord Frost says EU is bullying us by:
🔹Not letting us into Horizon 2020 which we Brexited out of
🔹Maintaining the fishing Single Market which we Brexited out of
🔹Threatening take legal action when we said we were breaking the law
🔹Not trusting us when we're breaking the law.
Lord Frost: It's not good for us electorally to draw attention to Brexit...
I WONDER WHY!!!!
Lord Frost: The Northern Ireland Protocol (AKA Brexit) is not working.
The Northern Ireland Protocol (AKA Brexit) is disrupting the Good Friday Agreement.
The EU needs to fix Brexit.
Lord Frost is shocked to discover that Brexiting and leaving Northern Ireland behind in the EU Single Market causes problems...
IF ONLY SOMEONE HAD MENTIONED THAT!
(Sorry I accidentally left my microphone on while screen-recording this one. 😬)
Lord Frost: How dare the EU take advantage of our weakened state during the negotiations... We only had an 80-seat majority to get the deal through, as well as all the cards!
Lord Frost then has a crisis of faith on stage and surprises everyone by coming out in support of Remain, by stating the founding principles of European Union.
I want you to watch this video I made in 2018.
I want you to listen to your own words in the tweets above.
Then I want you to sit and think about how utterly stupid you sound.
Lord Frost, you embarrassed this country in Lisbon today.

How exactly is Brexit done?
Just ask yourself this question:
The Brexit fatigue that the slogan "Get Brexit Done" was designed to appeal to...
Do you think that fatigue was about whether our signature was on the EU treaties, or a desire to no longer hear about the things listed above?
Audience member: The anti-foreigner Brexit has come back to bite us.
Fiona Bruce: Shut up! We only want to hear from Brexiteers.
Audience member: I AM a Brexiteer!
Fiona: Sh**!
Again, the fact that they're explicitly skewing audiences to be pro-Brexit now, makes what they did in the week of the 2019 election UNFUCKINGFORGIVABLE!!
I hope you get why I'll never stop being FURIOUS about this?
I devoted 2 years to getting the message out that those most affected by Brexit didn't want it, and at the last chance to show that to older voters, @bbcquestiontime used young faces to portray an older opinion. #bbcqt
