Brexit: Lord Frost blames Theresa May for problems with Northern Ireland Protocol
Lord Frost tells members of the Northern Ireland Assembly that current issues with the Northern Ireland Protocol are "to a very large degree" the fault of negotiations under Boris Johnson's predecessor as prime minister. The protocol - agreed and signed by Mr Johnson and which replaced Mrs May's "backstop" - is designed to avoid a post-Brexit hard border on the island of Ireland and is a key part of the UK's divorce deal with the EU.
Lord Frost is seeking adjustments to the implementation of the protocol and told assembly members on Friday that it should not be looked at as a "sort of definitive text".
Mr Stalford quoted Mrs May's former chief of staff, Lord Barwell, who last month claimed Mr Johnson's government knew the protocol "was a bad deal" but intended to "wriggle out of it later".

It is totally unbelievable that Johnson and Frost are now claiming the Northern Ireland Protocol was somehow effected by Theresa May. Even though the Northern Ireland Protocol that they proposed, negotiated and signed off was their idea to specifically to replace Theresa May's Northern Ireland backstop and hadn't even been mentioned 'as a solution ' before Johnson came to power
It's almost as if they are treating all their Brexit supporters with utter contempt looking at them as though they were complete idiots with the attention spans of goldfish
They need to take responsibility, then own it lock stock and barrel. Its their baby
I notice Starmer is finally laying into Johnson in today's Times accusing him of putting Irish peace at risk
