Yesterday, as Shadow Health Minister, I responded to a debate on the future of community pharmacies. I reiterated concerns that policy changes, including the rise in employers' National Insurance and loss of business rates support, make it harder for pharmacies to survive. 1/3

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"...

Yesterday the Prime Minister confirmed that he's delaying the planned fuel duty hike, saying, "We are backing drivers by extending the freeze in fuel duty for the rest of the year." @Conservatives and I have been calling for this since the start of the Iran conflict. 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...

As MPs debate the Courts Bill and the restriction of jury trials again today, I'm reminded of this bombshell statement from the Minister in the last debate... The Courts Minister admitted it wasn't about backlogs - but ideology. Listen 👇

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.

There are three key strands to energy and climate: security, affordability and environmental impacts. I believe that the sooner we move to an energy self-sufficient country, the better. Last year before the current spike in oil and gas, I called for the UK to use more of our own reserves👇

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

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

The Government has issued a letter to "address concerns" raised about Advice & Guidance and Single Point of Access There are some welcome changes, but there are still so many unanswered questions I will keep raising issues You can read the letter here: www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/le...

Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother was killed by an ICE agent. The Trump administration is lying about it. Evidence is being withheld from Minnesota. The cover up is already underway. There was no credible justification for force here. None. There has to be a line. When is enough enough.

Tax is not theft. It pays for the infrastructure that guarantees your livelihood. This piece is great because it re-frames the discussion: the IRS is the army that protects you from the avarice of sociopaths like Musk, Bezos, O'Leary, Trump and Zuckerberg.

Over a billion birds in North America die annually from colliding with glass. A proposed law in Ontario, Bill 98, aims to accelerate housing development but may weaken requirements for bird-safe building designs.
