Recruitment is underway for a director of the Government’s Brexit Opportunities Unit, sparking a hilarious reaction on social media.
Lord Frost, at the request of the Prime Minister, is leading the work to make the most of the economic and political opportunities of Brexit.
A new Brexit Opportunities Unit has been established to support him in this work.
It will play a crucial role in setting the strategy for the Government’s ambitious approach to regulation, reviewing and reforming existing policy and regulation, and supporting the scrutiny and introduction of new regulation.
Tweeting about the announcement, Lord Frost said: “We are recruiting for the Director of the Government’s new Brexit Opportunities Unit. We’re looking for a visionary, inventive and dedicated leader to help us shape the future policy direction of the UK.”
Needless to say, the reaction on Twitter has been one of much derision.
