Brexit minister Lord Frost claims EU 'doesn't always look like it wants UK to succeed' as he demands Northern Ireland Protocol changes

Brexit minister Lord Frost has accused the EU of being an organisation "that doesn't always look like" it wants the UK to succeed as he demanded changes to post-Brexit arrangements for Northern Ireland.

In a speech in Lisbon, Portugal, the cabinet minister called on Brussels to help "tackle the fundamental issues" with the Northern Ireland Protocol - which he claimed was "not working" - and to show "the same ambition and willingness" to solve problems.

He also reiterated a threat to suspend post-Brexit arrangements for Northern Ireland - which were designed to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland - by triggering Article 16 of the Protocol.
