West Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Liberal Democrat MP, Andrew George has today succeeded in the ballot to become one of the top MPs to put forward their own legislation this year. 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”.

We focused on the mandatory enforcement of the new “Drive Smart” technology system for all […]

However, this doesn’t mean the Government should respond by banning protests against genocide and the murderous, international law-breaking, far-right Netanyahu government of Israel. The Golders Green perpetrator stabbed two men who […]
I’m pressing the Government to legislate to better protect marine mammals – dolphins seals, etc. I presented a new Private Members’ Bill to Parliament and am urging ministers to introduce legislation in the next King’s Speech in a couple of weeks’ time. Thanks to the wonderful Seal Research Trust, The Wildlife Trusts and others for advice and support. I also tabled […]
