Sunak 'Unaware' Gove Was At Meeting To Discuss Brexit

Rishi Sunak did not know Michael Gove was attending a private meeting of former Leave and Remain chiefs to discuss Brexit, Downing Street has said. The prime minister's spokesperson said Mr Sunak had become aware of the cabinet minister's attendance at the talks when he read about it in the Sunday newspapers.

It comes after David Frost, the UK's former chief Brexit negotiator, claimed that the meeting, at the Ditchley Park retreat in Oxfordshire, amounted to a plot to undermine the Brexit agreement he had struck. Lord Frost said the "secret" meeting was "a further piece of evidence that many in our political and business establishment want to unravel the deals we did to exit the EU in 2020 and to stay shadowing the EU instead".
