Reaction as Stormont Executive consider complete closure and buy out of botched RHI scheme.

Completely close the Renewable Heat scheme. That's one of the options being looked at by the Executive to sort out one of the biggest-financial-scandals Northern Ireland has ever seen. Earlier this week First Minister Arlene Foster survived a no-confidence vote over the flawed design of the scheme, which is expected to run up a 拢400m overspend. That led to chaotic scenes never before seen at Stormont. The Nolan Show has been covering the story extensively over recent weeks with a dedicated investigations team digging into the detail for you. 麻豆社 Economics and Business editor John Campbell has the details of the latest twist in one of the biggest stories we have ever covered on this show. Vinny was also joined by Jim Allister from the TUV, Steve Aiken from the UUP, Nicola Mallon from the SDLP and Stephen Farry from the Alliance Party.

Also on the programme, your kids could be on the radio if they give the #麻豆社Nolan Santa hotline answering machine a call. Listen to find out more!

And, campaign to leave turkey off the Xmas dinner plate - will it go down well or get a stuffing? Animal rights activist John Carmody and commentator John McCririck debate.
