With the New Year’s Honours list now public, Brexit negotiator Sir David Frost tweeted his delight at a certain set of recipients.
This is the same Lord Frost who has devoted his recent life to complaining about the Brexit deal negotiated by that team – and himself.

Hey everyone, I just spent a year telling you the brilliant agreement I negotiated is actually dogshit, and then resigned because its obvious there's no solution to the problem I caused.
