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 campaign to get South West Water (SWW) to protect the important marine environment and achieve safe bathing water standards on the Isles of Scilly is gaining ground.
But there is still more to do, as this report makes clear.
Though I've pressed the company to improve wastewater treatment to secondary standards, I cannot see how the company can meet the September 2027 deadline set by the Environment Agency.
I've spoken to the new SWW CEO, Keith Haslett, about this, am monitoring the situation, and will visit Scilly in a couple of weeks.

Have you noticed any recent improvement in mobile connectivity in Penzance?
I raised complaints about poor service with Virgin Media O2, as the majority of concerns related to their network, and Vodafone, which owns the mast on Fountain Court, from where the problem emanates. They’ve informed me that the necessary work has been completed on the mast and that mobile coverage should have improved.
So please let me know if you are still experiencing problems; include your mobile provider and the location.

Will we be prepared for when the next storm hits?
I urged resilience minister Dan Jarvis to come back to west Cornwall to help our communities as we prepare…
…for who knows what?

National security needs food security.
I was pleased to meet and support farmers and NFU representatives in Parliament this week to back those who do so much to put food on our tables.
I chair a Group of MPs, sector organisations and campaign charities which is pressing the government to improve protections for primary producers against the excessive power of supermarket buyers. We cannot achieve satisfactory food security until this problem is better resolved.
Here with NFU Region Director, Tom Rabbetts, at the NFU event.

And about time, too.
Ed Miliband’s commitment to stop trade with the illegal Israeli “Settlements” in the Palestinian West Bank was courageous. Though it should have happened years ago.
The far-right Netanyahu regime has committed crimes of “ethnic cleaning” against Palestinians, murdered reporters and the media, and killed hundreds of aid workers, including Cornishman Jim Henderson. I witnessed appalling scenes on the West Bank when I was there last year. “Settlers” are backed by Israeli police and the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) and act with impunity. Miliband correctly referred to them as “Settler terrorists”. Meanwhile Palestinians are defenceless.
Some claim the Government’s actions will stoke anti-Jewish feelings in the UK. Others that it will help the process of mending divisions. British Jews (like Ed Miliband, it must be pointed out) I know welcome this move and say it is not before time. Though I respect that others have different opinions on this.
I just want the government to bring in these measures as quickly as possible and to make sure those who have committed war crimes are fully held to account and brought to law. Both Israelis, Hamas terrorists, and members of the IDF.
