I am bringing forward a Private Members Bill which seeks to make marriage and sexual relations between first cousins illegal.

I hope the Government will adopt it.

🚨NEW: A migrant has been allowed to remain in the UK with her first cousin because she is married to him

The Home Office initially refused the migrant asylum, believing the couple had only married so she could remain in the UK, but they have since been allowed to stay under the right to a family life through the ECHR

Labour are happy to fight for oil and gas drilling in the Falklands, but won’t give Rosebank the green light here in the North Sea.

As @KemiBadenoch exposed at PMQs today, it’s utter hypocrisy.

While Labour MPs fight amongst themselves, British jobs and our energy security are left hanging in the balance.

This is government gaslighting to a high degree.
1. It’s not a new announcement. The Norfolk East and West offshore wind projects were announced earlier this year as part of the AR7 round of contracts.
2. No way does it bring down prices. Those behind it, energy giant RWE + global investors KKR, were guaranteed an above-market strike price of £91.20/MWh based on 2024 prices — indexed linked for 20 years. That guarantee is already worth £97/MWh in 2026. This is v expensive energy.
3. What is new is that the costs of developing offshore wind have soared. So the government has now had to chip in £1 billion of the £12 billion investment needed from the National Wealth [Destruction] Fund. So more state subsidy on top of the massive subsidies for two foreign companies implicit in the price guarantees embedded in AR7.
4. Far from cheaper electricity this embeds high-cost electricity in the system for 20 years.
5. So much for the Chancellor’s Budget pledge to ‘only build new projects when they lower prices’. This does the opposite — and at enormous expense to the taxpayer and electricity user.
Gaslighting indeed.

Today is Armistice Day.

Join the nation in a two-minute silence at 11am, to remember all those who have lost their lives in conflict.

Never forget.

Despite everything that pub, cafe, gym, salon, shop, restaurant, etc. owners do for our economy, a Labour Treasury Minister said:

"I don't think employers are working people."

I spoke to a small business owner about this on @bbcquestiontime

Labour has created a toxic concoction of tax rises, cuts to business rates relief, higher wages and more red tape.

Small businesses have been forced to reduce their opening times, offer fewer hours to staff, take pay cuts themselves and, in some cases, close altogether.

🤷‍♂️ Today the Attorney-General of the United Kingdom will appear at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea to defend the right to exploit oil in British waters off the Falkland Islands. This is the right thing to do.

🤷‍♂️ But today we will have our first meetings to go line by line through Labour’s new Energy Dependence Bill which bans all oil and gas exploration in British waters off…Britain. 🤦‍♂️

[Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans]

I don't believe that UK taxpayers should pay reparations, as where would we draw the line? And where would the principle end?

The Romans? The Vikings? The Ottoman Empire?

Instead, we should look forward and focus on tackling the challenges we face today.

What do you think?

[Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans]

Taxpayers are being landed with multi-million pound bills because of a system that cannot make proper use of the energy it generates.

This is neither fair nor sustainable for taxpayers.

[Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans]

While households and businesses are being charged some of the highest electricity costs in the world, Labour is paying wind farms to *switch off* as the grid simply cannot handle it.

[Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans]

Wind power has a role to play in our energy supply, but it's clear that the infrastructure isn't there to support it. To deliver cheap and reliable energy now, Labour must overturn its ban on new North Sea oil and gas licenses.

Best description I've heard of Labour's tax on private schools:

"A tax that raises less than it costs isn’t a tax.

It’s spite with a spreadsheet.

Aimed at the parents who sacrificed, and dressed up as fairness."

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Thank you to everyone who will be attending Remembrance Day services throughout the day.

[Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans]

Each year, in the week before Remembrance Sunday, MPs are invited to plant a cross in the Garden of Remembrance.

As your MP and President of Hinckley RBL, I planted a cross in Westminster in honour of those who have served and gave their lives for us.

We will remember them.
