Liz Truss will replace Lord Frost as the UK's lead negotiator with the EU.

She will retain her role as foreign minister while leading negotiations over the Northern Ireland Protocol.

The resignation of Lord Frost as a minister was announced on Saturday.

The minister of state for Europe will be Chris Heaton-Harris.

Wendy Morton was previously at the Foreign Office and will replace Mr. Heaton-Harris at the transport department.

Conservative MPs are divided over the departure of Lord Frost, who resigned due to concerns about the current direction of travel.

The peer told the Prime Minister to avoid introducingercive measures.

Lord Frost's exit was described as a disaster by some of his Conservative colleagues.

The party offered a chance to "press the reset button" in negotiations with the EU, according to others in the party.

Liz has many jobs.

She is the foreign secretary, the minister for women and equalities, and the lead negotiator with the EU on the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Chris Heaton-Harris is a former MEP who supported Leave in the 2016 referendum.

His presence may make some backbenchers happy.

Will she approach negotiations with the EU the same way as her predecessor?

Initial suggestions are that there won't be a radical departure from policy.

Pre-Truss, the UK's approach, was already changing. A source close to the foreign secretary said that Liz and David are friends and come at things from the same direction but Liz will put her own stamp on it.

Even though the foreign secretary may feel confident, she's going to have a hard and politically sensitive task.

The leader of the Conservative Party, Ms. Truss, advocated for continued membership of the EU in Britain's economic interest.

If a referendum was held again, she would support it.

The Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland is one of the important tasks that the EU's lead post-Brexit negotiator said he would continue to co-operate with the UK in.

The Northern Ireland Protocol has been a sticking point since it was struck between the UK and EU in 2019.

"There has been some progress, but not as much as we had hoped," said Lord Frost in a statement on Friday.

Baroness Chapman said that the government should stop posturing and work to reach an agreement after she welcomed Ms Truss to the cabinet.

The foreign secretary position was taken by Elizabeth Truss in the last reshuffle.

After being elected as an MP for south west Norfolk in 2010, she was given her first government job two years later.

She moved to become the secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs.

She was Lord Chancellor and justice secretary in 2016 and chief secretary to the Treasury until 2019.

Ms Truss helped the UK deliver a number of trade deals with other countries after it left the EU.

The Conservatives lost the seat of North Shropshire to the Liberal Democrats in a by-election.

In his letter of resignation, Lord Frost spoke of his disagreement with the tightened coronaviruses restrictions in England that resulted in Mr Johnson's biggest Commons rebellion so far.

The man is David Frost.
Elizabeth Truss.
It's a topic of discussion.
