Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has played down cabinet minister Michael Gove’s attendance at a “secret conference” last week which Lord Frost—Britain’s former Brexit negotiator—claimed was evidence of a remainer plot to undermine the choice made by voters at the 2016 referendum.

Lord Mandelson, a former EU commissioner, was a speaker at one of the events, “How can we make Brexit work better with our neighbours in Europe?” at the Ditchley Park conference in Oxfordshire.
