That Lord Frost, a highly respected member of the cabinet, has stood down is surely a heavy blow to the government.

The question is why has he stood aside?

Is it the government’s policies or his frustration with the EU over the Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol, or a combination of both?

Whatever the departure reason Lord Frost has shown himself to be a genuine UK patriot and his skills and commitment to the nation will surely be missed.

For Northern Ireland his decision may also have significant implications.
