SDLP Leader Colum Eastwood has called on Arlene Foster and the DUP to cut the hysteria and act on behalf of the people of Northern Ireland.
This afternoon, the British Prime Minister Theresa May is holding a Cabinet meeting with her minister to discuss the proposed draft agreement between the UK and the European Union.
The DUP’s Brexit spokesman Sammy Wilson MP slammed the proposed Brexit deal as a “punishment beating” by the EU on the UK, and said he does not believe PM Theresa May would survive losing a vote in the House of Commons.
Mr Eastwood responded, saying: “The reaction to a reported Brexit deal by the DUP is both flippant and irrational.
“I would remind Arlene Foster that her first priority is to defend political stability and the economic future of our people here.
“It’s time for cool heads not knee jerk reactions.
“The SDLP will respond in full when we have seen the details of the draft agreement,” added the Foyle MLA.
