Jim Wells and the DUP - is it the end of the road for the party's self-styled embarrassing uncle?
The former DUP health minister Jim Wells has lost the party whip after he criticised the leadership in the media.
The former DUP Health Minister Jim Wells has lost the party whip after he criticised the leadership in the media. Is it the end of the road for the party's self-styled embarrassing uncle? He joined Vinny live in studio this morning.
Also on the programme, the Prime Minister has said the system for investigating the past in Northern Ireland is "unfair". Yesterday while speaking in the House of Commons Theresa May said only people in the "armed forces" or "law enforcement" were being investigated. Theresa May's statement is contradicted by information given to the 成人快手's 成人快手 Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney last year when he was told by the police that the percentage of investigations into former members of the security forces was around 30 per cent.
And, a novel day for the RHI inquiry yesterday when a civil servant was publicly praised. That was for accepting personal responsibility for one of the multiple failures which may have contributed to the cash for ash scandal. Elaine Dolan was head of the internal audit in Arlene Foster's department during the design of the RHI scheme and the first year and a half of its operation. She told the public inquiry that an auditor working under her had not done enough to query what officials were telling him. Vinny talks to Newsletter political editor Sam McBride.
All that and more on the biggest show in the country.
