bbc parliament.jpgNadhim Zahawi MP, co-author of Masters of Nothing: How the crash will happen again unless we understand human nature, gave the Loyal Address, after the Queen’s speech in parliament yesterday.  

Frank and funny (I have to say; the speech was brilliant but just look at the happy faces of those MPs around Nadhim. How could you not raise a smile?), Nadhim paid tribute to the Queen, covered reform to the House of Lords (don't ask me how but he even managed to get a laugh on that) and also referenced Masters of Nothing. Always a plus in my book. Book. You see what I did there?

‘Our banks have been managed not by the masters of the universe, but by the masters of nothing‘

The MPs weren't the only ones enjoying the speech. Twitter was also having a blast:

@PeterJLuff Delighted but not surprised to see my Parliamentary neighbour, Nadhim #Zahawi, do such an excellent job starting the Queen's Speech debate

@__Darling_ Nadhim Zahawi is a great orator. This is a very enjoyable speech. Perhaps I should invest in his new book.

You can listen to the speech here from around 5:13 onwards. Enjoy.
