Brexit LIVE: Things will get worse! Boris lays down gauntlet to Merkel in fiery phone call

Brexit Minister Lord David Frost has called on the EU to “urgently” address issues with the Northern Ireland Protocol.

He tweeted: “The Protocol is clearly having a continued negative effect on everyday life & business in Northern Ireland.

“The outstanding issues now need to be dealt with urgently.

“I and my team are in contact with the EU daily, but we need a full response to our July Command Paper soon.”
