Hello and welcome to this edition of The Westminster Hour with me, Nick Erdley and my guests.

Coming up, a judge's decision to spare teenage boys found guilty of rape from custodial sentences has been called perverse. We'll discuss.

We'll also ask if a social media ban for under 16s is now inevitable.

We'll talk about energy bills in the cost of living

and consider the best way for the government to help the UK's nearly 1 million needs,

that's young people not in education, employment or training.

And we'll hear from the Church of England

Bishop making the case for the middle ground. But first, let's meet my panel. Kevin Bonavilla is the Labour

MP for Stevenage, elected to Parliament in 2024. Before that, he worked as a lawyer and

South London councillor making his debut on the programme this

evening. Great to have you, Kevin. I was reading earlier that you're half Maltese, half Scottish.

So I'm wondering, does the sound of 33 degrees tomorrow make you happy or terrified?

Well, being a Malt Scototch, quite mixed, Nick.

So, yeah, I love the sun,

apart from my very Scottish nose,

which will need a factor 50.

I know that feeling well.

Mims Davies sits on the Conservative front bench

as Shadow Welsh Secretary

and Shadow Minister for Women and Equality.

She's the MP for East Grinstead and Uckfield and joins us down the line from there. Good evening to your house.

I've been looking in West Sussex, I imagine just as warm as is here in London.
