David McNarry clashes with @ClaireHanna as European City of Culture bid looks scuppered by Brexit

A bid for Belfast and Derry/Londonderry to be European City of Culture has been torpedoed because of Brexit. The European Commission has cancelled the UK's turn to host the prestigious title in 2023, disappointing the bidding cities. The joint Belfast/Derry bid was one of five in contention alongside Dundee, Nottingham, Leeds and Milton Keynes. But the commission has said the UK will no longer be eligible to have a host city after it leaves the EU in 2019. Stephen got reacting from former UKIP leader in Northern Ireland David McNarry, and the SDLP MLA Claire Hanna.
