Britain’s Brexit minister David Frost has resigned over the “political direction” of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government, the Mail on Sunday newspaper reported.
“Lord Frost tendered his resignation a week ago – but was persuaded to stay until January,” the newspaper said on Twitter.
Frost, a supporter of Brexit, has led the attempts by London to re-open negotiations over the terms of Britain’s exit from the European Union.
His reported departure would be the latest in a string of setbacks for Johnson who on Thursday saw his Conservative Party lose a stronghold electoral seat.
