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
This case exposes just how much the planning system has been tipped heavily in favour of the unscrupulous and against the best interests of the majority who want our precious environment and natural world properly protected.
The Conservatives now seek to weaken planning controls even further. The limp excuses of local Conservatives in defence of this case have worn thin. I hope electors will demonstrate their feelings in the ballot box.

It is a matter of balance. Carbis Bay Hotel's development was unscrupulous, and so is a huge amount of destructive development that the majority ignores, because it suits them to ignore it, or it goes unnoticed because it is only part of 'normal' economic activity. There is also the 'unscrupulous' label that the majority pins on low impact development, that isn't so detrimental to ecosystems. One should be careful not to push for policies that are in bigoted interests, or that end up harming vulnerable or minority groups.
Will anything actually be done, this makes a nonsense of the law
There needs to be prosicutions to discourage this law breaking , I think some body has been given the nod and the wink.
That hotel owner should now face massive fines for the destruction that has been wrought.
Honest Bob Jenrick's mucky paws...
I assume you're talking about the Carbis Bay Hotel debacle here, Andrew? You don't say which case you mean in your post.
How can you blame this on the Tories. Surely, it is the greed of the Hotel owner in the spotlight here.
No wonder Johnson thought it was the ideal venue, they clearly share his 'values'.
I read an article saying there were no badger setts on this land, even though badgers have been displaced since the tree felling started, apparently Unnatural England had already "dealt" with the badger setts on the land.
I reckon they need to build high rise flats down there so that all the people who live down there will feel st home

About time that retrospective planning permission was outlawed, other than in exceptional circumstances. The hotel should also be forced to recreate, as closely as possible, what it destroyed in this blatant attempt to circumvent planning laws.
This election is critical for Cornwall. If the Conservatives win control of Cornwall Council on 6th May the big developers will be rubbing their hands. Local people in housing need will be trampled in the developers' gold rush.
The Conservatives would rather you didn't know about their plan to force yet another 80,000 (mostly unaffordable) homes on Cornwall. Our roads, hospitals and infrastructure cannot cope now!
This is critically important for residents in Heamoor, Gulval and the wider Penwith area.
NO to developers' charter. YES to homes for locals - Andrew George

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Cornwall is one of the fastest developing places in the country. Our housing stock has doubled in the last forty years. But the housing problems of locals have got worse. Conservatives forced Cornwall to take another 52,500 homes in the current plan (2010-2030) and now want to incr...We don't have a Lib Dem or a Labour candidate standing in Hayle West. ☹️
I know 'negative campaigning' isn't your style but the daily revelations of tory sleaze & blatant self serving corruption surely ought to be mentioned?
And Cornish culture will suffer
Good luck for the coming elections
The place is being trashed needs to be a monitorium on building it needs to slow down , growth cannot be infinite.

WE NEED ANOTHER HOSPITAl BEFORE MOOR HOUSES
Good luck 👍🍀
No way would I vote for this liberal
Entirely agree Andrew
Who can stop it? Answer: No one. Not even you!
These tories need out
A Conservative County Councillor fought his heart out to prevent a ridiculous development of 'luxury' homes near us. I don't think County or Parish Councillors can actually do anything when the pen pushers in Truro are the real people in charge.
who in there right mind other than farmers would vote tory?
Its too late Andrew, they have control of it all
Don't worry, if the Tories don't get the majority I am sure their good friends the Lib Dems will help them out again, just like that government you were part of.
Known tory voters are standing as independents in the upcoming council elections. I know 8 had a meeting and agreed to back each other if they get in xx
The campaign is underway...
Unfortunately, the Liberal Democrats are a London based party, the same as the Conservative and Labour parties.
Propped up Cameroon and his Tory government which resulted in brexit
You think people have forgotten what Penzance lost as a result of you and your party? No!
I am sorry Andrew, I will not be able to vote for you this time. I applied for a postal vote on-line but instead of sending me the form for the election I was sent a form to apply for a postal vote. So I am unable to register to vote before the deadline. What in hells name is the point of an on-line application form to apply for a postal application form for a postal vote!?
We need you back.
I’m on the fence. What did Andrew George do the last time ?
I'll just chuck this in to the mix, being a "Cornishman in exile", and having seen some of the comments already here: better develop a stable class consciousness before taking extended, fantastical excursions into your identity as a "Cornish nation": it's failed pretty much everyone else who took that path historically, even when they actually had a large tax base and viable industries. "Let them eat fish!!" Pax!
I’d like to see an MP really fight for investment for business and jobs down here. Wages are low yet living costs are so high, if businesses could pay people decent wages then locals could afford to live here. It all comes from investment in businesses and transport links, without that we’re in a perpetual loop of poverty.
Fantastic xx
Good luck, Andrew!
Cornwall needs to get rid of the London parties once and for all
Happy campaigning, and good luck!
Good luck mate
Good luck Andrew!
Good luck Andrew..Cornwall Council needs some integrity
Good luck
Has Derek resigned or been shot or something?
Go Andrew!
So glad you're standing
Good luck
Good luck Andrew!
Good luck Andrew!
Good luck!
Yep...even though not Labour..a decent non Whip bloke and was a great constituency MP........😊
Get elected then vote with the Tory scum again then. 🤬
"This could just be a coincidence. Or it could be an attempt to buy votes with public money" - Jolyon Maugham : Good Law Project, which is taking the Government to Court.
A polite way of pointing out once again the cynical dishonesty at the heart of this Conservative Government.
Of course this isn't the first "coincidence". They did the same thing with the Towns Fund just before the last General Election. They got away with it then and it worked. So why wouldn't they do it again?

Good Law Project claims ranking system favours seats with Conservative MPs or targetsProbably the last Conservative, politician or supporter that was not cynically dishonest was Ted Heath.🤔
Not surprised !
Simple answer, it's just another tory lie which will evaporate like the morning mists on May 7th. . . .
