The Brexit day that wasn't. PM repeatedly said we would leave the EU on 29th March.

The Brexit day that wasn't. Meanwhile, Sinn Fein back border protest and DUP say they're "inundated with support" for decision to not support PM's deal.

Today was meant to be the day. The day the UK left the EU. Except it's not. And as of now, we still don't know when we're leaving, if we're leaving, how we're leaving... Theresa May's withdrawal deal has been defeated - and well defeated - twice in the Commons. But today she's bringing part of it back to Parliament for another go at getting it through. It's expected to be defeated once again with the DUP insisting it will not vote for it. Writing in today's Belfast Telegraph, the DUP leader Arlene Foster says her party is "inundated" with support from all across the UK for its opposition to the Withdrawal Agreement. Stephen got the views of commentator Malachi O'Doherty, Allison Morris from the Irish News, Newsletter's Ben Lowry and TUV MLA Jim Allister.

Also on the programme, should shops be banned from selling chocolate eggs more than three weeks before Easter? Polling by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) suggests 77% of people think supermarkets are pushing chocolatey Easter treats too early. The RSPH says "If supermarkets are serious about tackling the obesity epidemic, we would urge retailers to change their marketing strategies in the interest of the public's health." What do you reckon? No eggs till three weeks before Easter? What next? No Christmas til mid-December? Stephen got the views of Irish Mirror columnist and trained personal trainer Siobhan O'Connor and size acceptance campaigner Kathryn Szrodecki.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country.
