[Politics] Lord Frost of Brexit resigns

Could be. It is being leaked that Frost resigned a week ago over the plans to bring in Covid restrictions and a number of other matters.
No doubt we will be presented with different versions of the truth from various sources, about which Johnson couldn't possibly comment, over the next few days, until he decides on which version of the truth will play best with his adoring support.
Various talking heads are opining with different spins on the radio, presently.
I can guarantee that isn't true. Frost has only ever been interested in Brexit, knows he is in a no-win position and has taken the opportunity to jump ship
Can't say how I know, but it will all be in my autobiography

The nation mourns.
If he resigned over a week ago, was it not announced until after the North Shropshire by election because they knew how badly it would play out?

No surprise that particular fat rat left the ship. He owes everything to Johnson, including his ermine robes, and effs off in a crisis. Absolutely no surprise.

I think that’s would be closer to what a lot of people thought they were voting for. Didn’t 65% of those voting leave expect we’d still be in the single market (Ashcroft survey).
The resignation or the by-election?

Don't be daft, he would do what is best for the country only to see Johnson do the opposite.

And yet he went on record in favour of Remain before the referendum.

In the resignation letter released (see link below) Lord Brexit explains that he's leaving because he jolly well apreciates that everything is excellent and is jolly well content that it will become excellent again, going forward.
By way of reply, the PM acknowledges that tough decisions have been made and the ones that are correct that he made, he jolly well stands by, and that he thanks Lord Brexit for supporting him in making it all possible.
I am currently weeping with joy at how British this all is. And make no mistake, under Corbyn Labour, none of this would have been possible.

Looks like this was the last straw for Brexit hard man Steve Baker, and he's removed Nadine Dorries from their group chat

Without Corbin none of this would have been possible Shirley.
From his resignation letter;;
“It has been a huge honour and privilege to work with you over the last five years, first in the Foreign Office and then in No.10. You have been an outstanding leader at a moment of grave constitutional crisis for this country. Many said that it would be impossible to deliver what we did: an end to political turbulence by implementing the referendum result, a stunning election victory, an exit from the EU which gave us full freedom about our future choices as a country, and finally putting in place the world's broadest and indeed only zero-tariff free trade deal. You and I have always shared the same approach on Brexit and I do not think we would have achieved so much without that close common understanding of our aims.”
I’m sorrry? What?
Resignation letters should be polite but I’ve never seen one contain so many outright lies before

Wasn't that when he was CEO of some whisky body that he said leaving the Single Market would entail significant risks (or something similar) ?
*edit* Found it
SWA chief executive David Frost said: "EU membership has many advantages for Scotch. The single market, including its regulation of food and drink, and its single trade policy are central to the success of Scotch. It lets us trade across the EU simply and easily and helps give us fairer access to other overseas markets."
Everything he said has proven to be true for his paymasters at the time
