DUP fire warning to PM over Brexit
'We will not be bullied into propping up a soft-touch government which gives in to the EU's demands' - DUP fire warning to PM.
A warning shot across the government bows. That's how DUP sources have described a decision by their MPs to abstain on a Westminster vote last night. Earlier senior DUP sources warned that they were prepared to vote against the budget later this month if the Prime Minister breaks their red lines over Brexit. It seems we're edging to a point where there might be a deal on Brexit. But what will it entail? And can Theresa May sell it to the DUP and other Tory rebels? Stephen spoke to 成人快手 NI Business and Economics Editor John Campbell, SDLP leader Colum Eastwood and DUP MLA Jim Wells.
Also on the programme, new research released today suggests that weight or obesity is the UK's most common form of discrimination. 81% of UK adults polled believe people with obesity are viewed negatively because of their weight. While 1 in 4 admitted they would hire a candidate with a healthy weight over an overweight candidate. But - can you really compare discrimination due to weight, with discrimination over something like gender, age or sexuality? Is it ever ok to criticise someone because of their weight? Stephen got the views of Liam Sartorius, personal trainer and weight loss coach, and commentator Siobhan O'Connor who is also trained in nutrition and personal training.
And, a senior civil servant says two DUP SpAds withheld key information from officials about abuse in the RHI scheme. Stephen talks to Newsletter political editor Sam McBride about the latest revelations from the Inquiry.
