Lord Frost reportedly resigns as Brexit minister [View all]

BBC

Brexit minister Lord Frost has reportedly resigned from Boris Johnson's government.

Lord Frost led the UK's negotiations over the EU Withdrawal Agreement and Northern Ireland Protocol.

The Mail on Sunday, which first reported the news, said he handed Mr Johnson his resignation a week ago.

He resigned over the "political direction" of the government including the introduction of stricter Covid curbs in England, the paper said.
