Ed Vaizey Confirmed as Speaker on Wednesday 17th March

Ed Vaizey, Member of Parliament for Wantage and Shadow Minister for the Arts is confirmed as the next speaker for the forthcoming Curzon Supper Club event on Wednesday 17th March, 2010 at 7.30pm at the Half Moon Pub in Windlesham.

Ed was elected to Parliament in 2005 at the same time as his close friend Michael Gove - they were 'best man' at each others weddings!

He started his working career in the Conservative Party's Research Department, where he worked for 2 years before training and practising as a barrister. In 1996 he left the law and became director of a successful PR firm before working as a speech writer for Michael Howard MP in 2004.

Ed has built a considerable media profile writing regularly for The Guardian and appears regularly on Sky TV's The Wright Stuff where he has been described as both Shadow Minister for Fashion and Shadow Minister for Video Games!

The clip below shows Ed talking about the forthcoming Olympics in 2012 - yet another component of his exciting portfolio.
