How Dare The EU Do What We Agreed to

As we found with Donald Trump and his loony supporters, it is hard to satirise people who are so awful in real life that it is impossible to write anything worse than what they actually say or do which brings us to Boris Johnson and his satire writers worst dream of a Government.
Hot on the heels of Iain Duncan Smith article asking what has gone wrong with Britain because workers are refusing to return to the office while in the 1940s they kept coming to the office even when Hitler’s bombs were raining down (to which many people pointed out that the Home WIFI capabilities in the Blitz were not really up to home working so they had no choice but to go to the office), we have Lord Frost.
It should be pointed out that this is the same Lord Frost who negotiated the Northern Ireland Brexit Protocol, the one him and Boris Johnson called a 'great deal that was oven ready' which was agreed by both sides and is designed to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland.
The very same Northern Ireland protocol he said was 'an excellent deal' with the EU that he had been 'proud to secure' but now he wants to rip up and start again because the EU was breaking the spirit of the thing by going to the trouble of actually implementing it, accusing the EU of acting in bad faith by applying the treaty in the form in which it had been agreed.
Irish deputy PM Leo Varadkar has warned other nations considering doing deals with the UK that they should be wary because it might not keep its word, to which the only reply is to look at our inept Government and say 'duh...you reckon'?
