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
Government ministers have often failed to see the wood for the trees where our ancient woodlands are concerned. It's time to review our approach to nature restoration. Our ancient woodlands seem to have suffered from being "out of sight, out of mind". It's time to recognise their richness and value and to improve the way we back them.
Protection and restoration of ancient woodland - EDM 3202 - Motion Text
That this House recognises the rich biodiversity of ancient woodlands across the United Kingdom, and their vital role in meeting the nation’s climate and biodiversity obligations as set out in the Environment Act 2021; notes that ancient woodland, those that have existed since at least 1600, covers just 2.5% of the UK, and is concerned that around 40% of ancient woodland has been replanted with non-native species, which significantly compromises its ecological integrity and its contribution to climate resilience; further notes that Forestry England, as the largest manager of plantations on ancient woodland sites, currently receives no funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for restoration work and would need to more than double its present rate of restoration to meet its internal commitment to restore all such sites by 2044, thus contributing to UK nature restoration targets; and therefore calls on the Government to ensure that a sufficient proportion of the available resource is directed at the restoration of ancient woodland sites within the Public Forest Estate to accelerate progress towards the 2044 target.

Thank you to all those who backed the petition to restore the Penzance Driving Test Centre. I delivered it to Parliament just before midnight last night. The petition had 1,123 signatures.
It’s where I passed my test nearly 48 years ago.

WASPI women deserve justice. The Parliamentary Ombudsman ruled two years ago that WASPI women “suffered injustice”.
Met WASPI Chair, Angela Madden, and Co-leader, Debbie de Spon, for a campaign update today.
With other cross-party MPs I’ve written again today to ministers urging them to use the forthcoming King’s Speech to bring forward a motion to put right this wrong.
Many criticise political leaders who make U-turns. But, I believe they should be praised. For acknowledging that when the facts change, they can and should change their mind; or that they have shown they’ve listened and reviewed the wisdom of a previous decision. This government has, to its credit, made many U-turns; on winter fuel, mandatory digital ID, the two-child benefit cap, release of the Mandelson files, etc. Though I wasn’t impressed by their previous WASPI U-turn – supporting the WASPI claim in opposition and then rejecting it when in government!
It’s time to do the right thing. They should U-turn to give WASPI women justice.

Foodie utopia in sunny Porthleven today. Big shout-out to organisers, stall holders and local businesses who've made it a great success.
Revelry continues till late, and then tomorrow...
I popped over this afternoon to meet locals, after visiting St Ives this morning (all by bike - nicer day for cycling without the strong winds of recent days).

The House of Lords has today Assisted its own Dying.
If a minority of unelected Peers can deliberately frustrate the will of the democratically elected chamber they must all go. And the sooner the better.
Better convert it to a Citizen's Assembly, ...or a museum.
