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:
Andrew George - Standing up for Cornwall
National campaigner, local campaigner, former MP.
Andrew describes his role - "Seeking out the silent voices. Standing up to bullies. Fighting for justice”
Liberal Democrats - Building a brighter future

The battle for nature recovery has reached a critical stage. For all the fine words and intentions, the UK remains one of the most nature-depleted places on earth. The 2023 ‘State of Nature’ Report found that 1 in every 6 UK species faces serious risk of extinction. But just like Conservative prime ministers before them – who privately dismissed environmental policy as “green cr*p” or “newt counting”, the Chancellor urged planners to “stop worrying about bats and newts”.
I asked the Environment Minister to say who she speaks for, the Chancellor or threatened wildlife?
A warm, evasive reply. The battle continues…

Thanks for speaking up Andrew. The lack of real action to protect wildlife is most depressing. 'Strategies' and policies may exist, but they are all too often toothless, irrelevant, underfunded or ignored.
Excellent question Andrew! It warms the heart to know someone is speaking up for nature and our precious bats and newts! 👏👏👏👏
Well spoken Andrew.
Had a busy pop-up high street surgery in Penzance at the weekend. Lots of conversations and casework.
These pictures depict how cold it was. I did take my hands out if my pockets! To take notes and to gratefully cuddle a mug of hot coffee.
I hope to arrange more in future. Look out for them.

You are working really hard for us, very grateful
Love the solidarity in your outfit!
We have homeless in pretty much every unused door way. Empty booze bottles, rubbish, urine, vomit.. Antisocial and aggressive behavior. Two of the regular spots are just opposite where you're standing.. Outside the old Burton and on the corner by Bet Fred.
Pleased to show Party Leader, Sir Ed Davey MP, around West Cornwall Hospital at the weekend.
Even though it’s such a small and landlocked site, it’s remarkable what the hospital does and achieves for our local community.
I was reminded that in April 2001 we led a protest march containing more people than live in Penzance. We filled the streets of the town. A demonstration of people power against the then plans to downgrade the hospital. There have been many battles since.
Of course it’s good to see the £9.6m newbuild outpatients department progressing at the front of the hospital. Having modern and more accessible facilities will improve matters immeasurably. Though we need more clinics too.
We also need to build resources there so we can finally re-establish a clinically safe and medically supported 24/7 Urgent Treatment service there.
Ed was very impressed with what he saw and supports our campaign.
Pictured at the UTC with the wonderful duo Staff Nurse RGN Abbie Howis and Dr Francis Old. There were of course equally wonderful staff throughout the hospital who were not able to be pictured.

West Cornwall hospital is a brilliant place , spotlessly clean, and very supportive staff , it’s vital to the west Cornwall community
Accessible when you can't get past the GP gate-keepers and bureaucracy. I doubt I would still be here if I hadn't got a lift there whilst waiting for the ambulance! An essential service.
Brilliant when I broke my ankle several years ago. No long wait, x-ray and plastered and out within 2 hours. Longest wait was for a porter to move me, even though I offered to walk with crutches which was how I arrived.
A great exchange of information and views at my latest "Parliament for the People" event in Penzance at the weekend.
Homes for locals, the planning system, restoring our NHS, the impact of the Trump presidency, Gaza, Chagos and many other items were covered.
If you'd like to be alerted to future events around the constituency please email my office on andrew.george.mp@parliament.uk

The talking is all very well- can nothing be done, though?
Did not know about this 🤝 Ng, sorry I missed it.
Sorry to have missed that. Good work 🙏
The World's wealthiest billionaire now wants the World's poorest billion to struggle, starve, die.
This Robin Hood in reverse policy is driven by the US's new far-right government, who believe the more than 60 year old foreign aid policy is just a "woke-liberal-leftie" project which undermines US interests.
Elon Musk - appointed head of Trump's nascent Department of Government Efficiency - is rampaging through government departments sacking staff and stopping anything which doesn't help the super-rich get even richer.
Now cutting USAID and sacking/cutting its staff from 10,000 to less than 300.
A government of billionaires for billionaires and (strangely) put in office by the least wealthy and marginalised.
We must call this out.

There are so many bots commenting on this post. But well said Andrew 👌🏻
Oh and maybe you can answer me what you and your party are doing to start up NHS dentistry in Cornwall?
Well said
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.
