Brexit LIVE: ‘Reality!’ Economist says UK GDP growth to outpace EU by more than DOUBLE – Express

According to reports, the former Brexit Minister has been approached by several friends and allies to put his name forward to succeed Mr Parish as the new Tory candidate for the Devon seat.

The Telegraph reported that one ally described Lord Frost as a proper Conservative with star quality, who could even be a potential successor to Boris Johnson.

Lord Frost, who quit the Government last year, is understood to have indicated to friends that he would consider contesting the seat if Conservative headquarters want him to do it.

Lord Frost, who has been deeply critical of the direction of Mr Johnson's Government, warned that Britain had developed a strongly established culture of dependency, where people look to the state to solve their problems rather than making efforts themselves, and where business faces ever-growing practical obstacles to normal commercial activity.
