Ed Vaizey

Ed Vaizey strikes me as one of British politics' more engaging figures. Oxford-educated at Merton, a barrister, journalist, and broadcaster, he served as Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, the very portfolio that demands a feel for the arts. He moves easily between Parliament, the press, and the radio studio, the classic British all-rounder, and was made a life peer in 2020. Having overseen culture and media, he surely carries a genuine understanding of entertainment. I confess a soft spot for nimble, multi-talented public figures, and Vaizey fits that mold neatly.
