St Ives.

Returned to Westminster in 2024 after losing his seat in 2019, Andrew George has quickly re-established himself as an active constituency advocate. His most prominent recent action was organising a SEND Summit to amplify local voices on special educational needs, alongside publicly challenging the government in the Commons over Cornwall's unequal treatment during storm emergency response failures. He has also lobbied the Communities Secretary directly on affordable housing -- drawing on his prior work with Cornwall Community Land Trust -- and pressured Royal Mail's chief executive over service failures affecting his constituents.

George votes with the Liberal Democrats 100% of the time and has no rebel votes on record. His participation rate of 67% sits below the Commons average. Voting patterns show strong alignment with Lords scrutiny, climate action, and parliamentary oversight, and consistent opposition to the employer National Insurance increase. He deviates from his party average on armed forces welfare (25% vs the party's 57%) and is slightly less aligned than fellow Lib Dems on civil liberties and anti-benefit-cuts votes. His speeches cluster around economy and jobs, local government, social care, health, and housing -- a profile consistent with a Cornwall-focused MP raising constituency issues rather than pursuing national legislative agendas.

George sits on the Health and Social Care Committee, which helps explain the prominence of health and social care in his speech record. His news coverage over the past 90 days is high-volume but largely neutral in sentiment, spanning culture, transport, and housing -- typical of a regionally active MP whose coverage reflects local issues rather than national controversy. Voting data is available from July 2024; speech and news data provide the fullest picture of his activity.
