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, MP.
Andrew describes his role - "Seeking out the silent voices. Standing up to bullies. Fighting for justice”
Liberal Democrats - Building a brighter future
The curious case of a man in Hi Vis tabard and helmet furtively lurking around a hedge in the middle of nowhere...
This is big thank you to the many community-spirited people who do their bit to improve our lives and our environment without expectation of receiving thanks or appreciation.
While out with Hayle Runners at the weekend I noticed a motor-biker in the distance frantically and furtively reaching into a hedgerow along Church Lane between Lelant and Carbis Bay.
When I got closer I realised he was litter picking and filling a large black bag with litter discarded by people using the road. A shocking amount too!
Hidden by his helmet I then realised when I heard his voice, it was Jerry Harper, a well-known local who kindly spends some of his spare time doing his civic best by being the Mr Womble of this locality. Clearing up the mess which others - who have less consideration for others! - discard without a care.
So, thank you to you Jerry, and the many people like you who do their bit to make life better for others.
Here we go again. Self-styled “men of the people” who seem to think they're above the rules.
We presume they’ll continue to play the “innocent victim” card. Perhaps try another by-election? (Binface should limber up).
In the meantime, my Liberal Democrat colleagues have asked the Police and Electoral Commission to investigate.

New Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, responded warmly to me at his first-ever Prime Minister's Questions. But I need him and his Ministers to back my Private Member’s Bill (PMB) to deliver desperately-needed homes for locals.
The housing crisis is worsening. Inequality is widening. Tax loopholes still subsidise holiday homeowners while housing need grows. The planning system favours land-value speculators over families in need. Things must change. The new Prime Minister has the power to do it. My Private Member’s Bill is a vehicle he can use to deliver that change.
There is still a tremendous amount to do before my Bill reaches its second reading in November.
The Prime Minister's mood music is encouraging. Now I need the Government to work with me to turn that hope into action, and the decent, secure and genuinely affordable homes families desperately need.

Really appreciate my “honourable friend”, the Prime Minister, has responded positively to Cornwall’s case for meaningful devolution. Here in his first outing as PM in the chamber today.
There’s still much more to do, but it’s a sound start.
Many thanks to Cornwall Council Leader Leigh Frost Cornwall Councillor for Bodmin St Petroc and my MP colleagues Jayne Kirkham for Truro and Falmouth Perran Moon for Camborne, Redruth and Hayle Anna Gelderd MP Noah Law for St Austell & Newquay and Ben Maguire MP for excellent teamwork.
