Following today’s announcement from Ofgem of a 13% increase in the energy price cap from July — adding £221 a year to typical household costs — West Cornwall MP Andrew George said these energy bill shocks can be averted if we reduce our reliance on imported fossil fuels. He fears that rising energy bills will more households into financial strain. Andrew said: “The […]
West Cornwall, Andrew George is stepping up pressure on South West Water as homes and businesses continue to experience regular water supply failure. This is affecting Nancledra, Carbis Bay, Halsetown, Cripplesease, Towednack, and surrounding areas. Andrew has demanded action from SWW since the failures began early in 2026. Residents and businesses have reported over 30 incidents since January. South West Water attribute the problem to […]
Let me know what you think. I have a chance to propose new legislation. That’s what I’ll concentrate on at my next public meeting This Friday 29th May.

This is the second time Andrew has “hit the jackpot”, as he was top of the ballot with a Private Members’ Bill (PMB) when […]
So, another PM faces growing calls to resign. PMs seem like Football managers; once the media have their claws in them, it becomes mutually perpetuating. MPs who have toiled away in the carbon monoxide of obscurity for centuries are enticed by journalists with promises of five seconds of fame, but only if they say something unhelpful, or to stand […]
I’m delighted to be lobbied to “defend free speech”. It’s just odd that some who say they’re worried about the erosion of free speech seem also to support politicians and a Party which bans journalists from their events, seems keen to close down discussion on a £5m “personal donation” from a Thailand-based crypto billionaire, back a US […]

The disgraceful scapegoating of disabled people by far-right millionaire MPs has consequences. Disabled people have been abused and some have even received death threats. I was honoured to be joined this week by local constituent and disability rights campaigner, Keron Day, with whom I’ve been working, at a meeting with Motability CEOs, Nigel Fletcher and Andrew Miller, who came down from London to my Penzance office. We focused on the mandatory enforcement of the new “Drive Smart” technology system for all […]
