Scrap foreign aid - that's the call from Baroness Karren Brady. Do you agree?

Scrap foreign aid as we can't give "our precious money to other countries" when our own is in such a state. That's the call from Baroness Karren Brady. Do you agree?

"We need to scrap foreign aid" - that's the call from Karren Brady. Baroness Brady - known for her role in BBC's Apprentice - said in her Sun on Sunday column that: "looking around at the state this country is in, I cannot see how on earth we can justify allotting our precious money to other countries when there is no evidence it helps." Do you agree? Vinny got the views of commentator Phil Kelly and former UKIP NI leader David McNarry.

Also on the programme, it's been described as one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history. After more than a decade without winning a major title - and following a string of health and personal problems - Tiger Woods has won this year's US Golf Masters. Vinny spoke to sports journalist Steven Beacom.

And, talks between the government and Labour are set to continue over the Easter recess in the hope of finding a Brexit agreement that will be acceptable to Mps. One of the biggest stumbling blocks has been the Irish backstop - the insurance policy in Theresa May's negotiations with the EU - that the Irish border remains open whatever the outcome of the UK and the EU's future relationship. Author Brendan O'Neill said recently "as someone who comes from an Irish background, I hate the way Ireland is being used to try to scupper Brexit". He joined Vinny this morning along with Irish News journalist Allison Morris.

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