"Many people in the sector have made the point to me that they feel taxed enough. I do not know that we would want to add any more to that." This was what the then-Tourism Minister said to me in September. 1/2

📢 60-second survey: speed limits A policy proposal from the Green Party would see speed limits on motorways reduced to 55mph - but what do you think? I'm keen to hear your views. Please fill out my short survey here 👇 www.drlukeevans.org.uk/news/speed-l...

Businesses across the country are struggling under Labour's toxic concoction. Hospitality and retail - such as pubs, cafes, gyms, shops and salons - are hit hard by increases in employers' NICs, business rates, the National Living Wage and red tape. 1/2

Yesterday I met with business owners in Hinckley and Bosworth to discuss everything from the economy and recruitment to oil prices. The businesses ranged from manufacturers of hosiery and mattresses used in hospital beds, to a company that develops carbon fibre for things like Formula 1 cars 🏎️

Rumours in the media today that Rachel Reeves is set to announce that Fuel Duty will not rise by 5p as planned. This is welcome, but drivers and businesses need clarity, not speculation. I've been urging the Government to scrap the planned 5p rise and hope something is announced imminently! 1/2

A rough road isn't the same as a collapsed bridge. Both slow you down, but one stops you entirely. When speaking about mental health, I believe it's important to distinguish between mental health and mental well-being - and have urged others to do the same. 1/2

Last week, I asked - once again - when Labour will publish the Defence Investment Plan (DIP). We were told it would be published in Autumn 2025.  Since then, Ministers have been asked numerous times when the DIP will be published, only to respond: "it is getting close"...

Constituents have written to me about the sudden increase in the cost of heating oil, for example from 55p per litre to 132p, with minimum order quantities also increasing from 500 litres to 900 litres! Yesterday the Chancellor came to the Commons to talk about the rising energy costs. 1/4

I know many people on heating oil will be concerned about limited support from the Govt. This follows Monday's news that the £53m would be for people in low-income households only. I raised this today, and asked about support for people who aren't eligible for the fund 👇 1/2

Do you think we should have a Minister for Men and Boys? I called for one in PMQs in December, and have secured a Westminster Hall debate on it next week (Wednesday 25th Feb, 2:30 - 4 pm). As I said in my PMQ, this isn't about one 'or' the other. It's about women 'and' men.

I often get asked why I don't take corporate contributions. It's because I work for Californians, not special interests. I'm unfraid to stand up to anyone to do what's best for California families.

Los Angeles needs 450k units of housing today. I’m going to Congress to finally fully fund Section 8 and get people housed. Make it federal policy for LA to upzone to multi-family home zones everywhere and to modernize permitting. Solve housing and we solve affordability, jobs and homelessness.

Cambridge has a new Guinness World Record holder 🏅 @eng.cam.ac.uk @queens.cam.ac.uk student James Goh spun a tungsten fidget spinner on one finger for 30 minutes and 34.54 seconds! That's nearly 5 minutes longer than the previous record and around 20 times longer than a standard spinner 💫

Powder coating can create more than just protection—it can deliver stunning, dazzling surface effects. With electrostatic adsorption, the coating achieves even color distribution across the entire surface. It also provides excellent resistance to fading, keeping colors bright and stable over time.
