Recruitment is underway for a director of the Government’s Brexit Opportunities Unit, sparking a hilarious reaction on social media.

Lord Frost, at the request of the Prime Minister, is leading the work to make the most of the economic and political opportunities of Brexit.

A new Brexit Opportunities Unit has been established to support him in this work.

It will play a crucial role in setting the strategy for the Government’s ambitious approach to regulation, reviewing and reforming existing policy and regulation, and supporting the scrutiny and introduction of new regulation.

Tweeting about the announcement, Lord Frost said: “We are recruiting for the Director of the Government’s new Brexit Opportunities Unit. We’re looking for a visionary, inventive and dedicated leader to help us shape the future policy direction of the UK.”

Dear Lord Failure Frost,
I would like to apply for the position advertised “Brexit Opportunities Unit.”
I’ve always wanted a secure life long job. A couple of queries before I send my CV.
1/ Can this job be passed onto my grandson on my demise?
2/ Are there any benefits?

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
