I hope those unemployed scroungers sell their TVs and cigarettes before claiming JSA or whatever it is these days. |

Lord Frost effectively replacing Gove as the minister responsible for post Brexit relationships with the EU. He was lined up as the next national security adviser until changed at the last minute. "This appointment again shows that Brexit didn't end with the signing of a trade deal. While the UK is no longer a member of the EU, negotiating with Brussels and member states will preoccupy this and future governments for years to come. Since the start of the year (and the end of the transition period) serious tensions have flared up between Westminster and Brussels over trade disruption between Great Britain and Northern Ireland and vaccine supplies. Other issues, such as the City of London's access to EU markets, remain unresolved. Lord Frost will now be the UK minister responsible for co-ordinating all this and it will be a full time job. Rather than responsibility for the EU being shared between several departments - such as the Foreign Office and International Trade - the decision to put Lord Frost in the cabinet and in charge of the Withdrawal Agreement Joint Committee gives him huge clout overseeing policy. It also takes a lot of work away from Michael Gove and means there will be a single minister responsible to parliament for EU relations - although of course he'll be answering questions in the House of Lords and not the Commons. Speaking last week to a select committee, Lord Frost said the UK's relationship with the EU since the trade deal between the two came into force at the start of the year, had been more "problematic" and "bumpy" than he had expected. He said he hoped we would "get over this", but added that it was going to require a "different spirit" from Brussels. Lord Frost - who is said to be highly rated by the prime minister - had been due to become the UK's new national security adviser earlier this month, but was replaced days before he was due to start . He will be the co-chair of the UK-EU joint committee, which was set up to resolve differences arising from the treaty which took the UK out of the EU in February 2020." www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-politics-56101215 |

Totally agree it is naive to think every issue would be resloved in the one go,it was always going to be a starting point,bit like base camp on Everest 😆😆 |

Being wise after the event doesn't hold when it was known well in advance. But yes, we'll see a slow readjustment. |

It never interested me but have since done Kilimanjaro, Everest base camp 3 times and the Gokyo lakes. Ok haven't submitted Everest but if I was 25 years younger, fitter and had the money I would jump at the opportunity. |

Fair play France..... think I’d rather spend my holidays cruising round Caribbean islands in the warm weather. 😀 |
