CONSERVATIVE MP Trudy Harrison has made use of "Cumbrian terminology" to describe the current shambles that is Brexit.
The Copeland MP said: "We were just discussing in my office how we would describe the current situation, and using good old Cumbrian terminology we were really torn between whether it’s a pig’s ear, a dog’s dinner or a cat’s arse."
Her scathing assessment comes as Theresa May is set to make a third attempt to get her EU withdrawal deal through Parliament in the next week.
She told MPs that if her deal fails again to get their backing, a lengthy delay to Brexit may be needed.
The prime minister's warning comes ahead of a Commons vote later on whether to ask the EU for permission to delay Brexit beyond 29 March.
MPs voted on Wednesday evening to reject a no-deal Brexit under any circumstances.
No date has yet been set for the third so-called "meaningful vote".
