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
St Piran's Day - celebrate what's good about Cornwall
...and to be proud of what makes Cornwall stand out.
"Cutting Cornwall into the wider celebration of rich diversity. Not cutting ourselves off."
so why do guys wear sunglasses on a overcast gloomy day I wonder
Alongside the local elections you’ll have a chance to elect a far better candidate than the present Conservative to become our Police Commissioner - Brian Blake on 6th May

How do we find out more about him? X
Who are the candidates? No one supporting hunting I hope? I need to look them up
Thanks for posting, wouldn’t have had the faintest idea who to support otherwise...
This needs much wider publicity
Wil there be any local polling figures to help those amongst us who are cynical 'tactical voters'?
Money paid in covid aid should be clawed back and used to support local families in housing need.
I'm calling on the Chancellor to use next week's Budget to claw back over £100 million paid out in Cornwall alone AND to close the tax loophole used by second homers which allows them to claim this aid - around £18,000 per home has been claimed.
If we spent this on social housing we could deliver over 3,000 decent secure affordable homes for locals.
I've also called upon one Conservative MP with holiday property in west Cornwall to back my call.

Revealed – over £100m of Cornwall’s covid aid claimed by second home owners. It should instead be used for locals in housing need. I’ve also asked one Conservative MP second homer to back my call. Over £100 million of Cornwall’s Covid aid money has been handed out to second home owners sin...Aren't these grants taxable? Possibly 100% taxable if the second home is registered as a business to avoid Council Tax and therefore no trading loss has actually been incurred. I trust Cornwall Council is advising HMRC of grant payments given so that they can be confirmed as declared on the annual tax returns for these 'businesses'.
After all the scams going on and people in Cornwall still votes Tory even people who have bugger all . One has to think what sort of madness has control of a lot of people . Its like they want to be used and abused . And they do it repeatedly . If you were self harming in any other way you would be under medical supervision
Sadly, I don't think there is a Tory MP in Cornwall that would stand up for something like this.
I couldn't agree more!
Well said
Andrew George the next big scandal is this could you look into this please, Would be nice if someone asked the question, how much money have energy providers made in a pandemic based on more people being at home? This has to be investigated I've not seen any news story highlighting this. No one is holding them accountable.
Back you 100% Give the money to people who cannot afford even one house. This is disgusting.
Totally agree 👍
Corrupt council. corrupt mps and government with an 80 seat majority useless lol. The government shut the businesses down so they should be compensated whether people agree or not.
I support Government proposals to ban the banning of free speech. Though the Education Secretary should first concentrate on doing his job competently he’s right not to give a platform to those who want to “no platform” people who’s views they don’t like.
However, I suspect this is just a distraction from the much bigger problem of Government Ministers “no platforming” themselves from public scrutiny; being “unavailable for comment” when we the public want answers; and refusing to attend the many public meetings I and others have arranged for local MPs to be publicly accountable on important matters of public policy.
Should the same rule apply to Conservative Clubs? If not, why not?
No doubt these free speech people will be investigating John Redwood?
Given that Johnson threw out every member of his party who didn’t agree with him, this is monumental hypocrisy, apart from anything else.
But when the national trust tried to teach people about the history and finances of certain properties these same people were denouncing it. What about people preaching extremist religious views? Or is it just the views they agree with. It's a lot of fuss just to allow people to say racist things again
The fundamental question really is what we mean by "freedom of speech". I doubt anyone really believes in complete freedom of speech with no restrictions. The question is where in practice we actually believe that those restrictions should be.
So if a right wing fascist wants to spout his evil claptrap you are not allowed to say anything.
Has he produced a working definition of "Freedom of speech" or is it a euphemism because higher intellects don't want to hear right wing brexit drivel?

Well said.
Has the media failed to notice the significant message in this revelation?
We already knew, and no one should be surprised, that Tories hand out millions in Covid contracts to their chums.
But what this confirms is that the Conservative Government is no more "led by the science" than the Myanmar military Junta is a champion of democracy.
It tells us all we need to know - that the Conservatives spend taxpayers' money on the public relations messaging around the Covid pandemic. The science has always been secondary to them.
It confirms what i've always said - they're more concerned with chasing headlines than following the science and have always used the "Downing St. Briefings" as public relations broadcasts.
It's no wonder the UK has the worst Covid death and infection management levels in the world...
Revealed: Cummings' role in handing Covid contract to firm run by 'friends'
www.theguardian.com
Court documents raise questions about whether Cabinet Office may have misled publicHasn't Belgium got a worse death rate than the UK?
This was of course what taking back control was really all about: the Tory party and their chums turning the country into their own private cash cow that will just keep on giving, as long as they and their cohorts in the media continue to brainwash the voters and discredit the opposition. Make the tax-payers foot the bill to pay your mates for research which has the objective of keeping you in power.
No no no it’s theft from the tax payers purse framing it as handouts is wrong
On the one hand, a government should try to ensure that they deliver messages about public health and safety as effectively as possible. On the other hand, they have been so manifestly disastrous at it - not least because of Cummings himself - that this was totally money down the drain. Except it was actually into mates' pockets, yet again. Ker-ching.
Hmm good for thought
and there is no recourse to stop this coruption id you run for election then you shoild be deemed ineligable . you arew unfit for purpose
Keep telling it .just hope you’re listened to
I have to say, this guy even looks unpleasant
Yes, worrying. One does wonder what else goes on along these lines, that we don't yet know about.
I read 3 of the witness statements and the same thought occurred to me.
👍
And of course there’s the latest revelation about a Lord who is a government procurement advisor - and he’s the chairman of a company that landed a £38m contract. Details here... bylinetimes.com/2021/02/15/firm-chaired-government-procurement-advisor-awarded-38-million-contract/
Check the toxic tabloids, nary a mention. Bombarded by 'H&M' & Nicola Sturgeon distraction twaddle, not forgetting 'Nigel, Monty's dead dog'. . . .
