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
Thanks to all the hardy souls who came out in the storm to meet me in St Just this morning. Thanks also to Clemo (Cornwall Councillor Brian Clemens) for joining me, and taking on the numerous Council issues raised.
A wide range or casework, queries and discussion.
We retreated into the weekly Saturday market in the WI Hall. Where there was a warm reception, stalls, coffee and cakes! 😊 (...and more queries, casework and discussion...)
We'll come again.

St Just
A big shout-out to the unsung heroes who grow our food.
It was my privilege to attend the Royal Cornwall Show today. It’s a celebration of all that is good about Cornwall's farming communities, but also a chance to recognise the challenges they face.
Amongst the hundreds of stands extolling the progress our farms have made in science, technology, reducing environmental impact, and promoting nature recovery, Farm Cornwall stands out as an outstanding support charity. The Show nominated Farm Cornwall its primary chosen charity for this year's Show. And for good reason.
Farm Cornwall encourages and enables a farming industry where everyone looks out for each another.
Their staff and trustees recognise the extreme stress and pressure many farmers and their families face. So they offer specialist help, advice and support to overcome the most intense challenges.
From business advice to succession planning, disease prevention to management of herbal lays, liaison with the RPA (Rural Payments Agency) to meeting regulatory compliance. Their advisers cover all aspects.
Farm Cornwall has a great network of support agencies in Cornwall to provide specific advice, and trained mental health practitioners, too. Farm Cornwall advisers are ASIST trained (in how to recognise and intervene when people are at risk of suicide), and no problem is too great.
Pictured here with two of their wonderful advisers, Louise Davies and Charlie Penna, at the stand today.
Thank you for all you do.

Well said Prime Minister. Thank you.
He spoke for all decent people who respect and who stand up for true British values.
It is shocking that some people are only interested in using such a tragedy simply to stoke division, and to provoke rage and violence.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

Thank you to everyone who attended my Public Meeting in Penzance this weekend. Excellent contributions, questions and suggestions from all who spoke during a really good session.
My normally red hot inbox has become an inferno since my name came out in the Private Members' Bill ballot just over a week ago.
Though I've narrowed down the range of topics, it's very difficult to turn down others to choose just one. There are so many good causes to fight for. So, thank you again to all who have responded with helpful advice and comments.
I've a week before I need to start drawing up the details of the final choice and working with parliamentary draftswomen and men to prepare legislation which will withstand the scrutiny of government departments, government whips, and then win support across the House of Commons this autumn.
The result of the ballot on this occasion was: (weighted vote)
1st - Affordable Housing Bill (874)
2nd - Nature & National Security Bill (580)
3rd - First Homes before Second Homes Bill (443)
4th - Palliative Care Standards Bill (287)
5th - Ancient Woodland Protection Bill (137)
6th - End Violence (Women & Children) Bill (118)
7th - Terminally Ill (Adults) Dying Bill (111)
8th - Marine Mammals Protection Bill (67)
9th - End Trade with Illegal Settlements Bill (41)
10th - Enhanced Devolution Bill (40)
However, this is just one snapshot. There's still time to offer comments and advice.
During the week I'll seek advice from Ministers and Government Whips.
Thank you
