Brexit is healing democracy and has revived British politics, former minister Lord Frost has claimed.

The Tory peer and former chief Brexit negotiator said leaving the EU had given the UK the opportunity to “debate and change everything again in this country”.

But, in a swipe at Rishi Sunak’s Windsor Framework, Lord Frost said the benefits of Brexit did not apply to everyone. And he defended populist politics as “reflecting citizens actual views”.
