Lord Frost says UK’s economic transition has gone ‘smoothly’ – this graph says otherwise

"Generally it is remarkable how smoothly the total reordering of this country's economic relations has gone."

Lord Frost ended up with egg on his face after claiming the UK’s economic transition outside of the European Union has gone “smoothly”.

The former negotiator gave a keynote speech at the Policy Exchange, revealing that Britain could have been forced to hold a second referendum or accept no Brexit at all if they didn’t accept the Northern Ireland protocol.

He said that it is an “inescapable logical conclusion” that the protocol can’t be operated as it stands and has to be renegotiated or removed.

Lord Frost also warned the agreement had left the Good Friday Agreement “on life support”.

But he was generally more upbeat about Britain’s economic position following the split with the EU.

He said: “Generally it is remarkable how smoothly the total reordering of this country’s economic relations has gone.”

As George Parker pointed out, this graph tells a very different story:

Since you are here

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.
