He's just basically Thomas Apprentice-Twat with a posh accent, isn't he?

I get that newspapers have to fill space, and that they have to push a certain agenda (they're never going to say a Labour move is an unqualified good), but this shit is really Fred West's DIY Tips level stuff.

How was he allowed by the broader Brexiter community to get to where he was? I'm no fan of any Brexiter, but at least Farage etc did the hardish political yards. He doesn't seem to have copped much flak for the deal he did that nearly all media Brexiters regard as bad. That's been blamed on Theresa May. How does Frost do it?

He was just a PR and marketing man for a trade body for alchohol. Brexit was a great opportunity for mediocrities to elevate themselves way above their pay grade.

Sure, but why him? Most of business was against Brexit, but there was a smattering of "I'm a businessman but also an Englishman" types, not to mention all the media Brexiters. I don't get why Frost popped up as the man Brexit needed. Reminds me of the 2010 World Cup where, as Adrian Chiles rightly observed, lots of the media managed to make Gareth Barry into the man on whom everything depended.
