Lord Frost issues brutal warning to EU over Northern Ireland Protocol: 'Poison between us will remain'

Lord Frost has delivered a brutal warning to the EU over negotiations on the Northern Eire Protocol.

Throughout a speech in Switzerland, Frost insisted that the “poison” between the UK and EU will stay if the Protocol isn’t renegotiated.

The previous Brexit Secretary instructed College of Zurich college students that Brussels must recognise that the Irish Sea border was “at all times non permanent”.

Many ministers say the Protocol checks symbolize a risk to Northern Eire's place inside the UK.

First Minister Paul Givan resigned in February as a part of the Democratic Unionist Celebration's (DUP) protests in opposition to the Protocol.

Lord Frost mentioned in his speech this week: “The EU must recognise that the Protocol was at all times non permanent and contingent and that it depends upon a vote within the Northern Eire Meeting in simply over two years.

“It is not one thing that may be insisted upon as a everlasting a part of the scene. It's experimental and evolutionary in character."

He continued: “It's not sensible to imagine that the authorized customs boundary will be within the Irish Sea eternally, even when we are able to agree, as we're able to, that for sensible causes some items can conveniently be policed there.

"We by no means needed this appalling bitterness."

Nigel Farage, former chief of the Brexit Celebration, claimed to seek out “ultimate affirmation Boris Johnson has ditched Northern Eire’ on Monday after the treaty was upheld by the Courtroom of Attraction in Belfast yesterday and described as lawful.
