Lord Frost...

Having been given a seat in the House of Lords as a reward for negotiating An “oven ready” Brexit deal, Lord Frost is today appealing to the EU for “flexibility” to change said deal.

Will we ever get out of these never-ending spats with the EU?

What exactly is oven-ready if you have to keep putting it back in the oven every five minutes?

So despite the pressure, Johnson seems adamant to completely ignore the U.K. obligations that he and Frost negotiated and (again) break international law.

How many Brexiters can still they support a Prime Minister who has negotiated a deal and six months down the road wants to change it? You all praised him for getting the deal, laughed when he prorogued Parliament, got angry at NP’s who wanted to scrutinise the deal… And here we are, six months into Brexit and it is time to start blaming the EU for something we negotiated.

Truly, truly bind bogglingly incompetent and yet cheered on by millions because he is so shit.

What a time to be alive.

These are purely administrative issues of literally zero consequence to producers or consumers. Nobody has lost anything, despite the best efforts of some of your crew to constantly talk the country down.

May I draw your attention to real costs incurred by M&S . They are one of number of companies who are paying for Boris’ incompetence .

Admin issue PMSL

You’re comments are completely ignorant of facts.

Boris is still threatening not to implement the deal “HE” agreed for Northern Ireland six months later.

He has no intention of implementing the border deal between U.K. and France/ Netherlands/Belgium/ Sweden /Denmark until at least 2022. Thats costing U.K. business as it’s favouring imports over U.K. manufacturers exports.

I think he's just made the point I have thought all along. We should have left without negotiating a deal. Then and only then, should we have gone to the table. Far easier to negotiate from outside than within.

You have actually got that completely the wrong way round.

He is complaining now about how much harder it is negotiate as an outsider because we have nothing new to offer.

This was said as nauseum during the negotiating process and only now does the Chief Negotiator realise this.

What makes me laugh (not in a good way), is all these "as a 3rd party" regulations we are stumbling up against.

We were actually party to putting most of them in place whilst members. You'd think the government might have remembered that.

I haven't got it wrong at all. That's what I think.

We didn't negotiate a trade deal, we negotiated a political deal on leaving the EU. If we had left on WTO rules as we had threatened, not putting a barrier between the the Republic and N.I. as suggested, leaving that for the EU to do if they wished, once outside, then we could have negotiated a trade deal with the EU, even if several years down the line.

The problems come by negotiating a political deal on leaving with trade attached.

Trade deals with any country are always revisited. It's not a big deal, just part of ongoing trade with other countries.

The only people making it a big deal, are the loud minority as usual because they hate being wrong!

Anyone who thought that the benefits would shine through in a few months of leaving are deluding themselves. It may take several years, but we will be better off out. Anyone that doesn't think a pandemic would have an effect on the economy and blames it on Brexit is also delusional.

Although of course, all the usual suspects will appear from their caves and tell me I'm wrong.

But that's the point of a discussion.

If we had left on WTO rules as we had threatened, not putting a barrier between the the Republic and N.I. as suggested, leaving that for the EU to do if they wished, once outside, then we could have negotiated a trade deal with the EU, even if several years down the line.

The problems come by negotiating a political deal on leaving with trade attached.

Trade deals with any country are always revisited. It's not a big deal, just part of ongoing trade with other countries.

The only people making it a big deal, are the loud minority as usual because they hate being wrong!

Anyone who thought that the benefits would shine through in a few months of leaving are deluding themselves. It may take several years, but we will be better off out. Anyone that doesn't think a pandemic would have an effect on the economy and blames it on Brexit is also delusional.

Although of course, all the usual suspects will appear from their caves and tell me I'm wrong.

But that's the point of a discussion. "

How does covid affect how we negotiated how to leave?

They were telling us what a great deal it was a few short months ago.

So basically he had no idea what platform he was negotiating from and had no idea what we needed to resolve. Cluster fuck of incompetence on an epic scale. The EU must have been laughing as they signed the deal thinking how useless this lot are. Real heavyweight politicians against our schoolyard leaders! Tragic for the. UK

I think he's just made the point I have thought all along. We should have left without negotiating a deal. Then and only then, should we have gone to the table. Far easier to negotiate from outside than within.

You have actually got that completely the wrong way round.

He is complaining now about how much harder it is negotiate as an outsider because we have nothing new to offer.

This was said as nauseum during the negotiating process and only now does the Chief Negotiator realise this.

"What makes me laugh (not in a good way), is all these "as a 3rd party" regulations we are stumbling up against.

We were actually party to putting most of them in place whilst members. You'd think the government might have remembered that."

They will say that’s a previous administrations fault!! Maybe they should have read a bit more and done some homework instead of bluster and bullshit around sunny uplands!!

Sorry to confuse you. Just doing what others do. I was discussing Brexit as others were. Were the negotiations being discussed in this thread not about Brexit? Therefore I discussed the thread and the wider issues. Not difficult to understand. But as I seem to be getting drawn into the usual rhetoric, rather than actually discussing the thread and it's wider issues, which if you actually read what I wrote you would see why it's relevant.

Funny you talk about whataboutary when the discussion gets away from you or goes in a way you disagree with, but you seem quite happy to derail a thread by irrelevant questions.

Therefore I discussed the thread and the wider issues. Not difficult to understand. But as I seem to be getting drawn into the usual rhetoric, rather than actually discussing the thread and it's wider issues, which if you actually read what I wrote you would see why it's relevant.

Funny you talk about whataboutary when the discussion gets away from you or goes in a way you disagree with, but you seem quite happy to derail a thread by irrelevant questions.Nothing new there then.

It really isn't worth trying to have a discussion, is it? Thats why i dont bother anymore it just turns into kinder garden playtime

Totally agree with you, Costa. Always does. Then when it truly goes against them, they get you blocked! "

You realise only mods get you blocked dont you?

Anyone well done for keeping the thread on track

Spiffing stuff

"Lord Frost yesterday...

"..It's different negotiating as a member state, as it is negotiating with the EU asa third party

..We hadn't fully internalised that difference"

Staggering

So basically he had no idea what platform he was negotiating from and had no idea what we needed to resolve. Cluster fuck of incompetence on an epic scale. The EU must have been laughing as they signed the deal thinking how useless this lot are. Real heavyweight politicians against our schoolyard leaders! Tragic for the. UK

I think he's just made the point I have thought all along. We should have left without negotiating a deal. Then and only then, should we have gone to the table. Far easier to negotiate from outside than within.

You have actually got that completely the wrong way round.

He is complaining now about how much harder it is negotiate as an outsider because we have nothing new to offer.

This was said as nauseum during the negotiating process and only now does the Chief Negotiator realise this.

And the said David Davies was thick.

I haven't got it wrong at all. That's what I think.

We didn't negotiate a trade deal, we negotiated a political deal on leaving the EU. If we had left on WTO rules as we had threatened, not putting a barrier between the the Republic and N.I. as suggested, leaving that for the EU to do if they wished, once outside, then we could have negotiated a trade deal with the EU, even if several years down the line.

The problems come by negotiating a political deal on leaving with trade attached.

Trade deals with any country are always revisited. It's not a big deal, just part of ongoing trade with other countries.

The only people making it a big deal, are the loud minority as usual because they hate being wrong!

Anyone who thought that the benefits would shine through in a few months of leaving are deluding themselves. It may take several years, but we will be better off out. Anyone that doesn't think a pandemic would have an effect on the economy and blames it on Brexit is also delusional.

Although of course, all the usual suspects will appear from their caves and tell me I'm wrong.

But that's the point of a discussion.

How does covid affect how we negotiated how to leave?

They were telling us what a great deal it was a few short months ago.

Along comes Lionel, doing his usual by asking a question that isn't relevant.

Where did I say covid affected the deal?

A question answered with a question.

I'm beginning to get the hang of this forum.

Ah sorry you had me confused then

In a thread about what lord Frost has said re negotiations you referenced covid,but covid is now,according to you nothing to do with the discussion

You can "think" what you like, but it simply was never possible for the UK to leave on WTO Terms because of the Good Friday Agreement.

Under International Law, a country that is changing its laws and such a change impacts the status quo of an existing international agreement, the moving country is bound to mitigate the effects on the international agreement.

In other words, the UK was not able by law to enable Northern Ireland to walk away from the GFA with the United Kingdom and stick two fingers up at the EU and say - your border, your problem.

Aside from that mere blip of inaccuracy in your suggestion, we can then think about what is happening on the UK/EU border right now with UK exports having quite literally fallen off a cliff because the EU is imposing the conditions of the Trade Agreement that it now has with the EU. The UK is not imposing conditions for now and so UK imports have only been affected minimally.(At least the Government are choosing not to impose shortages on us - for now lol)

So knowing as we do, that exports have fallen off a cliff (with a deal)and that out own Government is too scared to impose the same restrictions that it negotiated on imports - what do you think might have been the result of ...

"Going WTO?"

Just think rationally about it.

I have. Leaving on WTO rules, then negotiate a trade deal. Not negotiate a political way to leave the EU with a trade deal on the side.

It rather seems as if you believe the EU on the gfa. I don't remember the EU being anywhere around when it was being negotiated. It was/is being used by the EU as a political pawn. Nobody is suggesting the gfa is broken other than the EU. And when push comes to shove who tried to break the agreement? It wasn't the UK.

The GFA MANDATES an open and frictionless border on the island of Ireland and all citizens of N. Ireland can choose to have an Irish passport, or a British passport - or both.

Leaving on WTO rules puts a defacto border on the island of Ireland and therefore it would have been the responsibility of the UK to still maintain the application of the International Agreement, irrespective of what it decided to do nationally.

With respect, the "WTO" argument was always a complete nonsense story fed to people to keep them distracted.

Politically, legally and economically it would have been so catastrophic as to be not even considered to be a non-starter - because it could not be squared with the GFA... Just for starters.

Ask yourself - if it were so great an option why have we ended up with Boris' great deal?? Negotiated by the great Lord Frost and cheered on hysterically be leading Brexters? This is shit, but even they know that "WTO" would have been at the bottom of a pile of shit 1,000 feet deep.

I agree with you, Boris deal was crap. It was a politically motivated deal on both sides not a trade deal. To get a deal we should have left with no deal. The gfa never had to be broken. Nobody wanted to break it. Gibraltar.

Well actually it was the Uk breaking

Terms & Conditions of the Belfast Agreement .

Leaving the EU meant that the Belfast Agreement ( GFA )

Was broken . Whatever way you look at it ,

Thats the end result .

Seriously?

Don’t you know Gibraltar’s legal status?

The post-Brexit agreement between the U.K., EU and Gibraltar means that Gibraltar will wholly follow EU Customs and Single Market rules and is now part of Shenghen. The result of which is that the border between Gibraltar and Spain is more fluid than it ever has been in history.

Setting the U.K. on a different course to the EU by default puts a border between the U.K. and the EU in N Ireland. That breaks the GFA and that breaks international law.

It’s not even a point of discussion - it is a fact.

A reasonable time to resurrect this thread considering that Frost and Lewis released a “Command Paper” yesterday arguing that the protocol needs re-negotiating. The “command paper” was summarily dismissed by the EU barely three hours later.

The United Kingdom negotiated the Brexit deal and N Ireland protocol in good faith and it will not be renegotiated because the United Kingdom did not realise it’s implications.

It's quite a stunning combination of arrogance and stupidity by Frost, who is supposed to be a diplomat!

(obviously signed off by PM and Cabinet, but he's the lead on this) "

All if this conservative cabinet not got a brain between them. Good job they are not running a bit business operation.

Chorley,


"Having been given a seat in the House of Lords as a reward for negotiating An “oven ready” Brexit deal, Lord Frost is today appealing to the EU for “flexibility” to change said deal.

Will we ever get out of these never-ending spats with the EU?

What exactly is oven-ready if you have to keep putting it back in the oven every five minutes?

Hopefully there's brinkmanship and bluff going on, and a deal gets sorted, otherwise bojo will look a bafoon "

He dosent need to look like one he his one.

Good time to resurrect this as Lord Frost reaches new levels of buffoonery this evening in Lisbon.

Dear God the guy is nothing more than an entitled nincampoop.

In short, tories - we agree so we can “get brexit done” but really we had our fingers crossed behind our back.

How can anyone take this government seriously when we have these jokers at the helm?

Incompetence squared.

Here's his latest on the NI Ireland Protocol. Good luck getting the USA's approval on this bollocks; never mind the EU's.

So, Frosty the No-Man has resigned.

Quite a shock.

The man who negotiated the Brexit deal and told everyone that it was the beat thing since sliced bread.

The same man who threatened to invoke Article 16 twice every week for the last six months.

The man who was appointed to the House of Lords as a reward for his work in negotiating that same oven ready deal.

...and the man who was appointed to negotiate with the EU to change what he then told everyone was a deal that should never have been brokered.

Yes...that unelected beaurocratic.

Lord Frost.

I wonder what will happen next in this rollercoaster Brexit adventure...

So much fun and suspense...

Who knows? If you need to know how detached from reality he is, read his resignation letter to Boris.

It's actually quite disturbing how unaware he is of the real world outside the 'Tory Bubble' - and, perhaps even more worrying, he's not alone.

Still, if even the voters of North Shropshire can wake up and smell the coffee; perhaps there's hope.

LOL - only kidding. Of course there isn't.

That letter really is disturbing to read, “delusional” is probably an understatement.

How do people who are so unaware of what is going on in the real world get to such positions of power and authority?

surprising the unelected bureaucrat wasn't gotten rid of sooner. he achieved an absolute nothing during his tenure aside from an enormous amount of damage to the country.

judging from the ERG what's app group arguement and the accompanying twitterstorm, the conservative party is more divided than ever, despite deploying a referendum on europe in a disasterous attempt to hoodwink the public into judging a popularity contest to decide which of the many factions would sieze control of institutionaly corrupt conservative unionism.

Putting Truss in charge of Brexit negotiations feels like a tactical demolition by Johnson.

As mad as it is, she's been rumoured as our possible next PM. But Brexit negotiation is a political graveyard.
