The British Minister for Brexit, David Frost, has resigned, as confirmed by Downing Street, publishing his letter and the response of Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Expressing regret over the leak to the press late Saturday night, Frost announced that his resignation was “immediate” and stressed his concerns about the “direction” the government has taken.
“It is disappointing that this plan was made public tonight and in these circumstances I believe it is right for me to resign immediately,” Frost said in a letter to Johnson.
Earlier, the Mail on Sunday reported that the former Brexit negotiator resigned last week over “political disagreements” with the Johnson administration, which persuaded him to remain in office until January.
In his letter, Frost cited disagreements over new pandemic restrictions, tax increases and the government’s policy of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 as reasons for his resignation.
Labor Vice President Angela Reiner tweeted that “the government has plunged into chaos at a time when the country is going through weeks of uncertainty.”
“Boris Johnson is not doing for the position. “We deserve more than this ridiculousness.”
