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
While the leader of Putin's puppets flounces off again - on this occasion in his attempt to avoid scrutiny - it’s left to other MPs to graft to clear up the mess they leave behind.
Earlier this week we debated the significant difficulties faced by the fishing industry after being promised the Earth by people like Mr Farage. But of course neither he nor any of his small band of snake oil salesmen could be bothered to turn up. Indeed, they rarely do.
We all know why the attention seeker wants to take on Count Binface in a pointless waste of public money in Clacton. The more people learn about the convicted criminal fraudsters who’ve backed him and the foreign crypto billionaires who’ve bought him off, the more their eyes should be opened to what he and his party really stand for. It obviously isn’t enough that their former leader in Wales is imprisoned for taking bribes from Putin's Russia, to do their bidding.
It’s typical that, a decade ago, they made dishonest claims they knew they would never deliver for the fishing industry. And that’s all they would do (false claims they wouldn’t deliver) if they continue to pull the wool over people's eyes.
Now the Defence Investment Plan is finally published, the Government rightly identified uncrewed air capability as a primary focus for future research and development.
This also brings the work of the National Drone Hub at Predannack into sharp focus. I hope Ministers will now concentrate attention and resources on developing these capabilities to strengthen UK defences.
Predannack has many advantages, not least hundreds of square miles of relatively clear airspace.

Everything was buzzing at Helston Farmers’ Market at the weekend. Questions, queries, casework (and even coffee and cake!).
Invited all local Cornwall Councillors to join me. Always keen to work with others, across parties, for the good of local communities. Thanks to Mike Thomas, Loveday Jenkin; Cornwall Councillor, Crowan, Sithney and Wendron Division, Nicola Boase and Cllr Rory Gow 😊
And to the local ambulance service who put on a first aid demonstration with defibrillators. Procedures have changed since my volunteer lifeguard days with Polurrian Surf Life Saving Club (Mullion) back in the day. Here being coached by Dr Adam Wilde. Thanks 😎

Many cafes, restaurants, pubs and music venues are facing a crisis and it’s getting worse. Successive governments are turning them into venues for industrial-level tax collecting – VAT, Business rates, employment taxes and excise duties. Many tell me they barely break even. But they are significant employers and employ thousands here in West Cornwall & on Scilly; families depend on them. They are a vital part of our communities.
That’s why I’m campaigning to urge government to look at switching the tax burden, from the present tax on enterprise, to a tax on profit, when they succeed. Liberal Democrats plan a VAT cut for the hospitality sector. Funded by a tax on the big banks.
I've asked Ministers to look again at what measures they will take to support our hospitality venues.
