The complete twat who knew leaving the EU would be bad for the UK. Then Boris made him the Brexit negotiator on the leave deal, which he did. Then Frost complained that the leave deal was bad, which he fucking negotiated. To top it off, Boris then makes him a peer. Ever heard of failing upwards?

Aren't these things voted on by the members of the House?

Who controls the House?

This is the best summary I could come up with:


David Frost, the influential Conservative peer who has been criticised for claiming that rising global temperatures could be beneficial to the UK, is being appointed to a key parliamentary committee on the climate crisis.

The appointment showed that “wacky, fringe views on climate” were no longer confined to the Tory party’s extremes, Labour said.

Frost, who was Boris Johnson’s Brexit negotiator, will be appointed at the end of the month to the House of Lords select committee on environment and climate change.

Ed Miliband, the shadow secretary of state of climate change and net zero, said Frost’s appointment showed that Sunak was trying to keep those seeking to oust him onside.

“Rishi Sunak is so weak that he has allowed this key position to go to someone who thinks the climate crisis is a good thing,” he said.

“The truth is that wacky, fringe views on climate are no longer resigned to the extreme wing of the Conservative party – they are now the official position of Rishi Sunak’s flailing government.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
