Welsh Conservative MS for Brecon & Radnorshire. Shadow Cabinet Sec for Health & Social Care 🏴 🇬🇧
🚜 Two key issues dominating this year’s Royal Welsh Show: the Sustainable Farming Scheme and the proposed Family Farm Tax. ❌ The Family Farm Tax must be scrapped. It threatens the future of generational farming in Wales. 🌱 While the updated SFS is a step forward from earlier…
Some days in politics feel heavier than others, today was one of them days!
😠 Wales is being treated like a political petri dish for attention seeking soundbites from Nigel Farage and Reform UK. Big promises, then backtracking - just like we saw over Port Talbot! 🏴 The people of Wales deserve respect, and politicians who give serious answers to the…
The NHS should remain free at the point of delivery. ✅ But Reform favours an insurance-based system. 🤑 Watch @JamesEvansMS SLAM Farage in the Senedd. 👇
🚨BREAKING: UK Labour Government funding *£627,000* research project attacking @GBNEWS. The new UKRI-funded Cardiff University project, ironically entitled “Enhancing the Impartiality of News”, takes place over the next two years. The far-left have infested our Universities.
Saddened to hear of the passing of Norman Tebbit. He was one of the greats in the Conservative Party and someone I looked up to and admired for his dedication to his country and his family. He embodied true Conservative principles. May he rest in peace.
Reform UK say the NHS needs reform (we all know that). But with no credible plans, they can’t be trusted with our health and wellbeing. They’d have everyone paying insurance before you know it, leaving people who can’t afford it, especially older and sicker people, to suffer in…
How exactly a Welsh government could introduce an insurance system without the levers on taxation is a bit of a question - its not clear what the legal issues that Reform see are but I wouldn't be surprised if the devolution set up is one of them bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
🆘 Labour will not admit that we have a health emergency here in Wales. Long waiting lists. Dire ambulance response times. NHS dentists closing. 🥀 After 26 years of Labour running our NHS in Wales, we need honesty and urgent action now before more lives are lost. Watch my…
🚨HEALTH EMERGENCY🚨 ⏩Nearly 800,000 pathways. ⏩2-year waits rising again. ⏩1-in-5 patients waiting for treatment. If that isn't a health emergency, we don't know what is - Labour has broken the Welsh NHS. @JamesEvansMS👇
🚨BREAKING: Footage surfaces of protesters outside the Welsh Parliament chanting “Death, death to the IDF!” Labour and Plaid Cymru politicians attended this demonstration. Will the police take action?👇
❗ “Will the Welsh Government condemn Green Man’s choice to give Kneecap a platform?” - a very clear and direct question from our leader Darren Millar MS. 🕊️ The First Minister admitted the Welsh Government has funded the Green Man Festival, including £4 million to purchase the…
⚠️ Farmers across Wales are being left in the dark over Bluetongue restrictions that came into force today. 🌧️ There are still no answers on how farmers can move livestock in the event of extreme weather. The Deputy First Minister promised to sort it, but we’re still waiting.…
🚨 URGENT: Bluetongue Restrictions Start Tomorrow! 🚨 From tomorrow, the Bluetongue restrictions come into force, and the impact on Welsh agriculture will be huge. Movements will be restricted, costs will increase, and yet again Welsh farmers will pay the price. 📢 Now is the…
After 26 years of Labour, routinely propped up by Plaid Cymru, the Welsh NHS is broken. ❌ Sticking plasters won't fix the deep-rooted problems. 🩹 Only the Welsh Conservatives have a plan to fix the Welsh NHS. ✅ @JamesEvansMS on @BBCr4today explains how👇
🇬🇧 Privileged to join the community at Caldicot Castle for Armed Forces Day, thanking those who serve and have served. 🏴 As Co-Chair of the Cross-Party Group on the Armed Forces, I’m committed to ensuring we support our Armed Forces and their families every day. 🫡 Thanks to…
📸 On Monday, the @SeneddWales Cross Party Group for Horseracing visited both Maywood Stud and Alison Thorpe Racing in Carmarthenshire to find out more about the Welsh racing industry. 🤝 @LlyrGruffydd @JamesEvansMS @SamRowlands_ @JoelJamesSWC
🐑 The Welsh Government’s Blue Tongue policy is a mess, confusing, costly, and completely out of touch. 🚫 Farmers now face sky high testing fees, red tape, and chaos. Breeding sales and vital trade are at risk, all because Labour Ministers don’t understand how the industry…
📍 Great to be out and about in Knighton today! 🍳 Always good to support local businesses too, and I had a cracking breakfast at the café while I was there! 🗣️ Whether it’s concerns about the rural economy, public services or rural transport, I’m always here to listen and…
🥀 The Welsh Government has lost the plot, and that’s saying something, because common sense was never their strong suit. But this latest Bluetongue policy? Absolute madness. 😤 Instead of aligning with the rest of England and making things simpler, they’ve decided to create…
🌊 People are fed up with raw sewage polluting our rivers, putting our public health, pets, and wildlife at risk. 💸 Dŵr Cymru were fined £1.3 million for hundreds of sewage breaches, but unlike in England, that money isn’t ringfenced to restore our waterways. Fines mean nothing…
