Luke Evans (politician)

Evans worked in hospitals across the Midlands whilst he was a junior doctor[3] and described his training as "one of the most difficult, yet proudest, periods of [his] career", saying the "profound difference you can make to a patient's life" is a "real privilege".

[3] Evans stood as the Conservative candidate in Birmingham Edgbaston at the 2015 general election, coming second with 38.3% of the vote behind the incumbent Labour MP Gisela Stuart.

[13] Evans formally recommended Twycross Zoo's project for a National Science and Conservation Centre in summer 2021, which will be built in his constituency, to receive funding from the Levelling Up Scheme.

[14] In October 2021, Evans launched a new campaign asking the Government to recognise the issue of body image for the first time in UK law, in the Online Safety Bill.

[18] In January 2022, Evans launched a podcast, Dr in the House, which covers topics like "mental health, body image and life as an MP" with "fellow MPs, famous faces and just some of the extraordinary people he comes across in his job".

[19] Speakers on the podcast include James McVey, Dr Alex George and former-CEO of Twycross Zoo (situated within Evans's constituency of Bosworth), Sharon Redrobe OBE.

On 13 June 2022, Evans was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to the Home Office ministerial team, alongside Matt Vickers.

[24] In April 2024 Evans was nominated as Pagefield's Parliamentary Campaigner of the Year, losing out on the award to Lord Arbuthnot for his work to overturn the wrongful convictions of sub-postmasters and highlight the Post Office Horizon scandal.

[3] In April 2024 Evans revealed he had been targeted, as part of the honeypot scam centred around William Wragg, having received unsolicited messages on WhatsApp.
