We mention it again because the day after the morning before he words were still echoing down the corridors of power.
Specifically, this House of Commons select committee room where the rather fabulous SNP MP John Nicolson was putting questions to ITV exec, Magnus Brooke.
And his opening words were all kinds of magnificent.
There’s a Culture, Media and Sport Committee taking place in Parliament and John Nicholson MP asked the representative from ITV: “First of all, are you okay?” pic.twitter.com/uR8thDtvgt

And if Nicolson looks familiar, you might be thinking of when the then culture secretary – culture secretary! – Nadine Dorries said this.
Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries claims 96% of consultation responses support the privatisation of Channel 4.@MrJohnNicolson points out that it’s actually the other way around, with the government’s own white paper stating 96% are against selling the broadcaster. pic.twitter.com/VIf82OoEET
