The DUP's Sammy Wilson has slammed the slated Brexit deal as a "punishment beating" by the EU on the UK.
Speaking to Sky News, Mr Wilson said: "This is all about a punishment beating for the UK because they dared to vote to leave the EU. And unfortunately the Prime Minister has allowed that punishment beating to be administered.
Punishment beatings are how paramilitary gangs punish those accused of violations (such as drug dealing) within areas under their control. In extreme cases the offender will be shot in the kneecaps.
