Irish Examiner view: A touch of Frost

David Frost, minister of state at the Cabinet Office, speaks during the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester yesterday.

Another day, another threat by David Frost, Boris Johnson’s Brexit shin-kicker-in-chief, to trigger Article 16 unless the EU agrees to replace the Northern Ireland protocol.

That he said this on the eve of the Tory party conference carries its own message. But the time is coming when this might happen and Ireland must be ready with a response.
