Andrew George

Promoting the
Politics of Courage

I’m running a positive campaign to restore decency and honesty to our politics. To build a brighter future. To combat those who want us to become more inward-looking, backward-looking, more self-absorbed. I’ll build a campaign for an outward-looking, forward-looking and compassionate country.

We’ve been misled by a privileged clique who’ve irresponsibly played on fears to stoke prejudice. We must get beyond the Brexit chaos they’ve dragged our country into. We must restore the things that matter for the sake of our children’s future – our NHS, our schools and the very sustainability of our planet.

Come and join a growing campaign team. We’re determined to win this seat back this time, to make the difference, to build a brighter future.

Many people say “you politicians are all the same”. That statement has never been more untrue. The choice here is stark:

Solidarity with Ukraine.
Shocking to see.
Putin the only winner. The rest of us lose.
This was pre-planned. Orchestrated by Vance. Shouted at and talked-over by the Putin appeaser.
Zelensky did well to remain dignified while the bullying onslaught took place. This stage-managed attempt to humiliate a man fighting for his country sadly exposed the very worst of the current US administration.
Where to go from here...

A very good point made earlier - Andrew George surely we, as a country, should withdraw the King's invitation for Trump to come here on a State visit. This entire display was vile in the extreme.

Be interesting to see what Farage has to say about this ...

Thanks to Perran Moon for Camborne, Redruth and Hayle and Emma Hardy MP
It was always intended that the assets of a harbour, like Hayle, should pay for the liabilities (such as dredging to ensure a safe navigable channel). Tens of millions of public funds have been poured into infrastructure around the harbour and development land separated/sold. Now we’ve been told there’s no other income source to pay for essential dredging, so the sand must be sold off too. This just isn’t right.Today Andrew George in his role as neighbouring MP and as a trustee of the Friends of the Towans and I met Waters Minister Emma Hardy MP and the Environment Agency to discuss the issue of sand removal at Hayle Harbour. We talked about the issues, the possible solutions and timescales to come up with a plan that works for the Harbour, residents and the environment. This issue involves multiple ‘stakeholders’ and the EAs view was that a plan should be available for consideration….but in about 12 months time. Clearly there’s short term issues to be dealt with but I’m prioritising this as I know it’s incredibly important to folk who live in and around Hayle. I will be following up with all relevant parties.

This would have been a perfect time to discuss that absolute shocking effort of SWW for upping the wage of their top dog, raising prices even more to cover it, and failing to provide an acceptable service. Seems like the water minister would be the perfect audience for that...

How about getting that sluice going?

It has altered the landscape so much, surely it must now be changing the environment in and around the mouth, and becoming a safety hazard for craft and local swimmers.

Today is the grim anniversary - 3 years of Ukrainian courage in resisting a brutal, illegal and unprovoked invasion.

After the Foreign Secretary’s statement to the House this evening I urged our Prime Minister and he to emphasise to President Trump that our “special relationship” with the US can only be based on respect for truth and international law.

Good to see the whole of the chamber - all parties - come together in solidarity with Ukraine.

…except of course those self-styled patriots from the far-right Reform Party who were conspicuous by their absence (presumably taking instructions from their mentors in The White House and The Kremlin).

Wrong Mr G. as usual. Nigel Farage was down in Cornwall speaking at Carn Brea. Dont kid us you are some paragon of virtue standing up for democracy. Your position on Gaza disproves that.

Hmm! He didn't really address your comment did he? 🤔

Well spoken Andrew.

Another long and full casework surgery completed this morning in Penzance. Using different locations around the constituency. Here today thanks to YMCA Cornwall.

Amazed to retrieve this old surgery sign A-frame, last used a decade ago! It's certainly done the miles. Needs some renovation and updating now though.

At least you have surgeries Andrew, some MPs (no names no pack drill,) are too frit to meet their constituents face to face and seem to spend more time in the USA than they do in Parliament or their constituency.

I was there last week.

Andrew your a credit for Penzance & Cornwall.Good to talk to you in Causewayhead last week.

Speaking Up

We lost by the narrow margin of just 312 votes at the last election. I was asked by news reporters immediately afterwards “how disappointed” I felt. I explained that I wasn’t disappointed for myself, but for the people I hoped to speak up for and who deserved to have their voice heard in Parliament.

After all, in Cornwall the Conservative Party secured the support of just 35% of the Cornish electorate yet secured 100% of the seats, …100% of the voice.

The Conservatives primarily speak up for those who are already more than able to speak up for themselves: the wealthy, the landed, big business, the privileged, powerful media barons, those who believe the poor have only themselves to blame etc.

But who’ll speak for the poor, the poorly housed, our NHS, our schools, our public servants, our environment, refugees, for Britain to be an ambassador for peace and reconciliation in a wider world, or even for foxes who’d rather not be chased to their death just for recreational fun?

Though a clear majority of voters in this constituency agree we must find a voice for the voiceless, unfortunately old fashioned tribalism ensured the votes of the majority were split and so helped gift this seat to the Conservatives on another minority vote.

We owe it to the voiceless to do all we can to stop that happening here this time. That’s why I’ve been working to seek cooperation between those on the centre/left of politics. I continue that work. I hope you’ll join me.
