As promised, I've had another follow-up meeting with the local NHS about the hospital change in the centre of Hinckley. Encouragingly, the project is still progressing; 1/3

On Tuesday I had the pleasure of visiting St. Peter's Catholic Primary School in Earl Shilton to open The Nest, a new inclusion room for pupils 🏫 It was good to meet the new Headteacher, Mrs Minford, and Mrs Atkins and to hear how pupils are already using the room. 1/2

Farmers need certainty, stability and a Government that understands the consequences of its decisions. Unfortunately, the woeful handling of the application process for SFI26 delivered the opposite. I joined over 100 Conservatives MPs in an open letter to the Defra Secretary to call for answers.

On Friday afternoon I had the privilege of opening the Forest School at Congerstone Primary School. After the opening, pupils and parents took part in an annual colour run to raise funds for the Luca Guintoli Foundation - a cause close the hearts of everyone at the school.

Many farmers locally have written to me about the poor handling of the Sustainable Farming Incentive scheme, and their concerns about missing out on this support. The SFI is important to so many farmers, but the handling of the application process has been woeful.

At last month's protest against Labour's changes to our Local Government system, I spoke to the media about why residents are concerned about the proposals. Labour has gone against the express wishes of our communities by forcing through the expansion of Leicester City. 1/2

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 15/09/2026

I am pleased to see the media have picked up the delivery of our petition against the expansion of the Leicester City boundary. With over 40,000 signatures and counting, local people have sent a clear message. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I was pleased, the Government under Starmer had agreed to host a Men & Boys Summit to address their specific issues. Alas, with all the changes in Government, it hasn't yet happened. I will continue to follow this up and keep the pressure on for it to take place 👇

Thank you to Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council, Fosse 107 and all the acts, exhibitors, volunteers and visitors who made the Burbage Common Open Day a real success on what turned out to be (thankfully!) a beautiful sunny day! Well done!

Today the House of Commons voted on the Assisted Dying Bill: 270 MPs voted in favour, and 286 voted against - meaning that the Bill fell by 16 votes I voted for. As a majority voted against, the Bill will now fall. You can read my response here: www.facebook.com/share/p/196C...

I have signed a joint letter to the Prime Minister urging him to scrap the Family Farm Tax 🚜 Between July 2024 and July 2025, over 6,300 agricultural businesses ceased trading. This is a record number for rural business closures, and highlights why the new PM must rethink this devastating tax.

My speech at the time paying tribute to the Queen included a beautiful poem written by Joanne Boyle - which to me, captures how the British felt about the Queen perfectly... See if you agree...

🚨The pressure is working! 🚨 This afternoon, the Government announced a full review of its ill-thought-out, poorly considered local government reorganisation, which would see the Leicester City boundary expanded. 1/3

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 07/09/2026

Many people across our area are, like me, concerned about the effects of the Local Government reorganisation in Leicestershire. People are rightly asking: what will Andy Burnham do about this? Our new Prime Minister says he will listen to what the public says. 1/2

This afternoon I joined the 1st Newbold Verdon Scout Gala for their annual event. There was plenty to see and do, including the dog show, classic cars, stalls, games and entertainment. I was delighted to be asked to present the prizes for the dog show & draw the raffle! 1/2

The Government's own health watchdog has linked two deaths to Labour's reforms on how GPs refer patients to specialists. Doctors, patients and I warned the Govt that its changes and bounce-back target of 25% restricted access to healthcare. Our concerns were dismissed. 1/3

Earlier today I asked a simple question: is the deal to give away the Chagos Islands dead? The response was: 'Funding for the Treaty will be provided for in the existing spending review settlements.' If the deal is dead, why is the Government allocating funding for it? 1/2

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 31/08/2026

In April, we heard the deal to hand over the Chagos Islands had been 'shelved' and legislation on the agreement not carried through to this Parliament: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... There is now talk of Andy Burnham resurrecting the deal during a meeting at the UN in September. 1/2

Over the past few months, I've been raising concerns about the Government's changes to Advice & Guidance - the system that GPs use to refer patients to see a specialist. I was told it was a "conspiracy theory", but the very issue I warned about is happening... Let me explain 🧵

You may have heard that our new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, is travelling the country this month as part of a 'listening tour'. My job is to make sure that people in Hinckley and Bosworth are heard. So I've invited him to hear from our community. 1/2

Good to see so many people at the protest against the City expansion and forced Local Government reorganisation! By protesting, signing petitions, writing to MPs and Councillors, speaking to neighbours and friends, you’re sending a message to Labour about the changes 🚨

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 06/08/2026

What a turnout!! This afternoon people across Leicestershire and the political spectrum came together, at County Hall, to protest against Labour’s forced Local Government changes 🚨 1/4

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 03/08/2026

Thousands of residents, parish councils, businesses and community groups took part in the consultation on Local Government reorganisation. People gave up their time because they believed their views would genuinely help to shape the future of our area. 1/3

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 01/08/2026

There has been a lot of talk this week around adult social care. The PM has said he wants to bring "substantial change" to social care, but has given little detail on what that change entails. As I said earlier this year, leaders must set out their priorities - clearly. 1/2

Today, BP has announced it is putting its North Sea business up for sale. This is yet more proof that Labour's policies are driving out investment, jobs and skills, all at a higher cost to consumers. Read more here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 1/2

In March alone, more than 350,000 patients were removed from NHS waiting lists without receiving treatment. To put that into perspective, that is roughly the population of Coventry disappearing from the waiting list in a single month ‼️ 1/3

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 24/07/2026

In a Westminster Hall debate I led earlier this year on the merits of a Minister for Men and Boys, I raised concerns around what society sees as the definition of a 'good man'. Try asking boys and young men who their role models are... I'm always surprised that many don't have an answer.

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 23/07/2026

🚨 87% of respondents to the consultation on Local Government changes in our area OPPOSED the city expansion... But the Labour Government are forcing it through anyway. Any changes should be driven by local people, not imposed on us by decision-makers in Westminster. 1/2

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 21/07/2026

The hospitality sector - pubs, cafes, restaurants, hotels, as well as retail, salons and gyms - has been hit hard by the toxic concoction of changes brought forward under Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves. I hope the new Chancellor, John Healey, takes swift action on this. 1/2

Today I called on the Government to publish how many migrants are being moved out of hotels and into HMOs in local communities, like ours. Ministers boast that hotel numbers are falling, but they refuse to say *where* people are actually being moved to. 1/2
