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
ANOTHER CAMPAIGN WIN!
Motability has made a three-point turn on its unpopular Drive Smart tracking scheme. When Motability Chiefs left my Penzance office just a few days ago to return to London to reflect on our meeting they promised to listen, and to review. Today’s announced PAUSE is welcome. I’d described it as an “Orwellian surveillance” system.
Particular credit must go to Disability Rights campaigner and constituent, Keron Day. He’s done a magnificent job, gathered evidence and brilliantly articulated just how damaging and discriminatory the 'Drive Smart' scheme has been for thousands of disabled people. That is of course not to diminish the great work of many others who've done so much to campaign on this outside this constituency.
I also congratulate Motability and their CEOs, Andrew Miller and Nigel Fletcher, who came all the way to see us, and who demonstrated they’re big enough to change policy when the counterproductive and damaging impact of this scheme became clear. Keron and I want them to make major changes before deciding how they can better manage the admittedly difficult insurance challenges they face.
However, I’ve also urged them to work with us as we tackle Government ministers to halt the counterproductive tax burden, which will force many disabled people to give up their jobs.
The scheme changes have been extremely stressful for many who’ve tried to handle the system. It wasn’t just inconvenient. It was invasive, stressful, and in some cases impossible to comply with. Being forced to keep your phone on, charged, with Bluetooth and location services active at all times - or have a black box fitted which publicly identifies your car as a Motability vehicle - was never reasonable.
Credit again to Keron. Today’s announcement is a testament to a young local man who’s proving to be an impressive and talented campaigner. His eloquence and tenacity in highlighting the impact of Drive Smart for thousands of disabled people has helped (along with others of course) make Motability think again.
Next I’m taking on Ministers who’ve caused the introduction of mileage limits which has brought much detriment to disabled customers.
Today’s pause is a win. But it’s only the start.

Just when we need government to step up to combat the nature and climate emergency the media excitedly predicts that a rag-bag of climate change deniers are destined to win the next general election.
Whether we can turn this around in time depends on all of us getting the facts across (if peer-reviewed evidence and evidence-based policy making counts for anything these days). We have to do all we can to avert a take over by snake-oil salesmen and their flat-earth society advisers.
Congratulations to the organisers of the many People’s Emergency Briefings who are pushing back. I attended this Helston event this week. Very well attended and great to see such enthusiasm.
I attended the National Emergency Briefing last November. However, because it didn’t engage in outrageous accusation or dog-whistle victim blaming, the gatekeeping editors of our national media decided it was a monumental bore. So, ignored it.
That’s why it’s important to get behind this fight back from the grassroots.
