David Frost: Some reflections this morning…

Some reflections this morning on what we must still, for the time being anyway, call "Starmer's EU reset" And why, ten years after the Brexit referendum, Britain seems more "standard average European" than ever. In @Telegraph today. https://telegraph.co.uk/gift/0869683d6ab52f15

David Frost: 100% right from @julianHjessop...

"100% right from @julianHjessop . The Lib Dem policy would be a disaster for Britain. It only makes sense as a prelude to arguing that ""we're already in so much with no say, wouldn't it be better to rejoin?"" We know they want that. I wish they would just be honest about it."

David Frost: I appreciate I'm not the most...

"I appreciate I'm not the most likely Parliamentarian to persuade a Labour MP of anything, but: - the Bill can hardly be described as the ""safest in the world"" when even its Lords sponsor thought it needed 70-odd amendments last time round; - no Royal Medical College or indeed any professional body will say the Bill is safe. It is to be hoped that the Labour leadership will think again before giving further parliamentary time to a Bill which has proved so divisive in both the Commons and the Lords. It's clear that the country is simply not ready for this assisted suicide Bill."

David Frost: The government has not got a single thing…

The government has not got a single thing worth having out of the EU in this "reset" negotiation. It's one concession after another. It's an absolute shocker. The reason is, of course, they aren't trying. They just want to tie us to the EU & they don't care what it costs.

David Frost: I thought Conservative policy…

I thought Conservative policy was now to oppose Net Zero. Does Theresa May understand this? As long as senior Tories post such support for Labour policy, it will continue to make observers wonder how firm the Tory commitment to scrap green energy madness really is.

David Frost: Treasury Minister Lord Livermore…

Treasury Minister Lord Livermore told us today (replying to @cmackinlay ) that he thought it an "inevitability" that Britain would rejoin the EU. In other words, Labour won't stop now. Everything they do is based on the assumption of rejoining. One thing will lead to another. You can't believe their manifesto and you can't trust Labour on the EU.

David Frost: Labour are trying to reconstruct…

Labour are trying to reconstruct the ghastly Theresa May / Olly Robbins deal which they themselves voted against in 2019 and which their own manifesto precludes. They've reached the stage of making one terrible offer after another to the EU because they are desperate for any deal, whatever is in it.

David Frost: Well done to @GregHands…

Well done to @GregHands for his consistent campaigning on eGates. No one else seems interested, least of all the British Government and the responsible minister Nick Thomas-Symonds, despite the fact Keir Starmer announced it a year ago this week.👇

David Frost: Rachel Reeves’s economic farce…

"Rachel Reeves’s economic farce is about to become a tragedy" There is a Ruritanian feel to British economic policy just now, a kind of comic-opera statism. But the convictions beneath it are far from amusing. My @Telegraph 👇 http://telegraph.co.uk/gift/a837e5ca5…

David Frost: As usual the public has a good sense…

As usual the public has a good sense for the truth on Brexit. They can see most of the political class didn't want to leave the EU, tried to stop it, successfully prevented us leaving fully (Northern Ireland), and then abandoned efforts to finish the job.

David Frost: Labour is about to descend into a civil war…

Labour is about to descend into a civil war over nothing much. The leadership candidates are all offering warmed-up statism & government knows best. Britain needs a political regime change if we're to solve our problems. My @Telegraph column today. 👇 https://telegraph.co.uk/gift/479cdfac36109bf3

David Frost: Labour also said the numbers…

Labour also said the numbers would be capped. The EU has consistently resisted. Expect Starmer's call for more "ambition" to mean capitulation on that too.

David Frost: Forget it, Rejoiners. The EU will...

""Forget it, Rejoiners. The EU will never offer terms that Britain can accept."" While we are waiting for the local election results, here are my thoughts on the Polish Foreign Minister's latest messaging on Brexit. My @Telegraph column tonight. 👇

David Frost: The problem is, Starmer's reset…

The problem is, Starmer's reset isn't about this country and the EU "working together". It's about subordinating this country to one EU law after another with no say in them., and paying for the privilege.

David Frost: Jewish people in Britain are...

Jewish people in Britain are facing intimidation and systematic incitement to violence. We need to stop the handwringing and get serious. Shame on this country if we choose, once again, to pass by on the other side. My @Telegraph column tonight. 👇

Good to see it shown so clearly, if incidentally, that Brexit has had no impact on the British economy's growth trend - contrary to the assertions of the OBR and many others.

Extraordinary that the Labour Party in Greenwich is trying to get votes by promising free bikes for children, paid for with everyone else's council tax money. Via the Greenwich Wire (I would tag them but they left X in an Elon-related huff). https://greenwichwire.co.uk/2026/04/17/greenwich-labour-manifesto-bike-voucher-children/
