<\/p>\nLord Frost warned Britain is in danger of “losing” Brexit as he urged the Government to “defend” the UK’s exit from the EU.<\/p>\n
The former Brexit minister said that if Sir Keir Starmer takes power at the next general election he would “agree unequal deals to make us an EU rule-taker in return for the nebulous benefits of greater co-operation”.<\/p>\n
But the Tory peer added that it is “not just Labour and the Lib Dems” who want to be “back in the EU tractor beam”.<\/p>\n
He pointed to former Theresa May this week insisting her Brexit deal would have been better than Boris Johnson’s agreement.<\/p>\n
Writing in his Telegraph column, Lord Frost said: “All too many people in all the parties think Britain\u2019s destiny is to retrace our steps and get closer again to the EU.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But he said the “defence” of Brexit was being left to a handful of Brexiteers on social media, with the Government largely silent.<\/p>\n
The Conservative peer added: “The Brexit we have is forever associated with this party and this Government.<\/p>\n
“We won an election with a mandate for it, and then delivered it, something all too rare nowadays.<\/p>\n
“If voters start to doubt it, we will not escape punishment. So we must defend it. We must spell out the benefits. Or we will lose it.”<\/p>\n
Lord Frost’s comments come as Rejoiners will take part in a pro-Brussels march in London next weekend.<\/p>\n
Remainers seized upon a deal struck earlier this month to rejoin the EU’s Horizon science research programme as a sign the UK is moving closer to the bloc.<\/p>\n
But former PM Mr Johnson last week dashed Rejoiner hopes as he insisted the UK will “never” return to the club in his Daily Mail column.<\/p>\n
