'little point' is the definition.
'needle' can be an answer for 'point' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'little' bit.

'demand the spanish rejected' is the wordplay.
'demand' becomes 'need' (synonyms).
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'rejected' is a reversal indicator.
'el' written backwards gives 'le'.
'need'+'le'='NEEDLE'

'in' acts as a link.
