Boris Johnson's chief Brexit negotiator says Britain will never sign up to EU rules in a blunt warning to Brussels
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's chief Brexit negotiator sets out the UK's hardline trade position in a speech on Monday.
"That isn't a simple negotiating position which might move under pressure — it is the point of the whole project," Frost said in a lecture on Monday night.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesUK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's chief Brexit negotiator has warned the European Union that Britain will neither follow EU rules nor extend the transition period in a hardline speech setting out the UK government's position on future trade.
"So to think that we might accept EU supervision on so-called level playing field issues simply fails to see the point of what we are doing." However, Frost said the UK government was aware of the "trade-offs" involved in this approach to trade with Brussels. "We understand the trade-offs involved — people sometimes say we don't but we do — and we will be setting out in written form next week actually how we see the shape of the future relationship in more detail."
Stewart Hosie, the Scottish National Party's trade spokesperson, said Frost's speech was a "worrying sign" of where Johnson's government was taking the country's relationship with the EU.
