A senior Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) politician has accused the British government of “spin” surrounding a new agreement set to replace controversial post-Brexit trading arrangements.

MP Sammy Wilson—the DUP’s chief whip—suggested the newly negotiated Windsor Framework was “not a great deal” while also taking aim at King Charles for meeting European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen following crunch deal talks with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
