I assume they will mention it before the broadcast of the News Quiz this evening. Although presumably the programme itself was recorded before the news broke.
Stuart Goldsmith has put his Comedian's Comedian podcast with Jeremy back up. I'm not sure if I've listened to this episode before, but the interviews are usually very good to excellent.
