Liz Truss takes over Brexit Protocol negotiations after resignation of Lord Frost
The Independent says Foreign secretary Liz Truss has been drafted in to take over negotiations with the EU on the Northern Ireland protocol following the dramatic resignation of Lord Frost.
The cabinet minister, who is widely seen as a possible contender in a future Tory leadership race, will be given an expanded brief, taking responsibility for the UK’s relationship with the bloc with immediate effect, No 10 announced.
Ms Truss’s appointment came after Lord Frost triggered a fresh crisis for Boris Johnson as it emerged on Saturday evening he had quit his post as Brexit minister, citing the “current direction of travel” of the government.
