Bad smell in west Belfast, and Corbyn accused of calling PM “stupid woman”
The pong. The smell. The stench across west Belfast. We've been investigating and have internal official emails about the possible source of the smell.
You brought us a story yesterday about concerns of a pungent smell throughout the Twinkbrook and Poleglass area. You asked us yesterday to seek assurance that there was no danger to human health. Stephen spoke to SDLP Councillor Brian Heading, Sinn Fein representative Joe Duffy and took calls from some people living in the area.
Also on the programme, stupid woman or stupid people? An exchange between Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn during Prime Minister's questions yesterday sparked a row in the Commons which lead to calls for the Labour leader to apologise after a mumbled comment. He denied he said stupid woman instead saying stupid people. Stephen got the views of Labour party member Phil Kelly and commentator Fionola Meredith.
And, the Biggest Book Club in the Country is back! We do this in conjunction with Libraries NI. A special one this month - the kids book by David Walliams' - 'The Midnight Gang'. It has been turned into a TV programme which will be on BBC One on boxing day at 7:30pm.
