The turmoil in the Conservative Party, the psychodrama, the soap opera with ever more unlikely

plot developments, has its roots in Brexit.

The unresolved question of how this country should reshape itself, having decided to leave

the EU.

That is one reason my guest on political thinking this week matters.

David Frost is seen by his admirers as the guardian of the Brexit here flame.

The man who Boris Johnson put into the House of Lords and made his chief Brexit negotiator,

who is now considering a bid to become a member of Parliament.

His critics though ask one simple question and I quote one of them,

Who the hell is an unelected failed minister to tell any of us what to do?

Well that's what I hope to discover.

In this conversation, at a moment, when anything could change, and almost certainly will

in politics.

David Frost, Lord Frost, welcome to Political Thinking.

Thank you, great to be here now.

Well, let's begin with what is on everybody's mind.

Your old friend, the man you advised, and whether he, Boris Johnson, can and should be our

next Prime Minister, what do you make of the speculation?

Well, Boris is a remarkable guy and he can do things that other people can't.

So I don't find it at all surprising that we're getting this, this, this sort of noise about

Willie comeback.
