Delighted to speak with my friend PM Keir Starmer. In a historic milestone, India and the UK have successfully concluded an ambitious and mutually beneficial Free Trade Agreement, along with a Double Contribution Convention. These landmark agreements will further deepen our

“Just when parliamentary opinion appears to be turning against assisted dying, I find myself supporting it.” @EdVaizey explains why he’s changed his mind on assisted dying.

“Farage, astute as he is, recognises that the caravan of public opinion has basically moved on.” @PatrickKMaguire suspects the Reform leader won’t be as critical as the Conservatives of the government’s new EU deal. @EdVaizey | #TimesRadio

My last Times Radio update this afternoon with Lord Ed Vaizey and the team very sweetly put together a hilarious montage of me giggling at Ed’s segues and the odd grilling of our guests. Let’s get down to business! Ed, no one has ever said ARMSTRONG with such flair. Thanks X

Apart from the NFFO (fishing lobby) I can't see a single business/group that does not welcome the UK-EU reset. BCC, CBI, IoD, UK Steel, UK Hospitality, British Meat Processors Association, Morrisons, BAE Systems, Salmon Scotland(!), Port of Dover.

“We are seeing the hostile foreign policy of enemy states being enacted by our own Foreign Office officials.” Former security minister Tom Tugendhat says the Chagos deal accelerates “the inevitable decline of Britain's interests”. @EdVaizey | #TimesRadio

Such awful news about Alan Yentob. He was a brilliant, creative man who championed the things and people he believed in and made wonderful programmes that will live on for years. It’s no surprise he had such a long career at the top and was trusted by so many. I owed a lot to him

“I’m not sure really, from a position of five MPs and rather curious observations on the welfare child benefit situation, that Nigel Farage should be our next prime minister.” Tory Donor David Ross says he’ll keep supporting Kemi Badenoch on #TimesRadio @EdVaizey

“Universities globally are having an issue with confidence in their role in society.” John Browne says he wants to make sure Cambridge University is “relevant to the UK and the world” if elected chancellor. @EdVaizey | #TimesRadio

Why do Times Radio keep bringing in Ed Vaizey. He’s a hopeless twerp. Could bring in Rosie, Olly Mann - any number of brilliant part time presenters. But no, it’s Ed - Terribly Nice but Dim - Vaizey. Probably Stig Abel behind it - more jokey characters… 🤦‍♂️

“He can pull if off. If that seems absurd to anybody, then they haven’t been paying attention.” The Times’s Fraser Nelson explains why Nigel Farage could be our next prime minister. @EdVaizey

“It's obvious Angela Rayner didn't get into politics to like take money away from people with disabilities.” Mel Stride caught Angela Rayner “on the back foot” at deputy PMQs, says Gráinne Maguire. @EdVaizey | #TimesRadio

“I would say that it is not possible to stop migration internationally by boat.” Globalisation and migration make it “really difficult” for Keir Starmer to stop the boats or reduce UK migration, says professor at KCL, Leila Simona Talani. @EdVaizey | #TimesRadio

Brilliantly written op-ed by Sarah Baxter on reimagining the British Museum with unseen Greek treasures - and reunifying the Parthenon Sculptures in Athens! Key points below 👇 inews.co.uk/opinion/nobel-…

"The former Tory culture minister, Ed Vaizey, is co-chair of the Parthenon Project with Thangam Debbonaire, Labour’s former shadow culture secretary. Brexiteers, such as David Frost and Michael Dobbs, support a deal. So do 53% of British people."

I had a great time on Lord Ed Vaizey 's It’s a Constituency Knockout recently which allowed me to highlight a few things about my constituency. Did you know: 🇺🇸 The Stars and Stripes flag has roots in my constituency - the Washington family crest, featuring stars and stripes, is
