Andrew George.

Active on a broad range of fronts, Andrew George has been a consistent presence in the Commons since reclaiming the St Ives seat for the Liberal Democrats in July 2024 — a constituency he first held from 1997 until losing it in 2015. Recent coverage highlights his direct lobbying of the Communities Secretary on affordable housing, his organisation of a SEND Summit to bring local voices to Westminster, and his public challenge to government over Cornwall's treatment during storm-related utility failures. Most recently he voted across several divisions on the Armed Forces Bill and the National Security (State Threats) Bill, backing oversight and amendment clauses in line with Lib Dem positions.

His participation rate of 68% sits below the Commons average, and he has not yet cast a single rebel vote — a 100% party-line record so far. His 281 contributions span economy and jobs, local government, health, social care, defence, and housing, suggesting a broad generalist brief rather than a single specialist lane. The stance data marks him as strongly aligned with parliamentary scrutiny (92%), Lords oversight (100%), climate action (91%), and welfare expansion (81%), while deviating notably from his party average in support of child welfare (+18 percentage points) and assisted dying access (+16 points).

His seat on the Health and Social Care Committee points to where his specialist energy is focused, consistent with the volume of health and social care speeches. News sentiment across 129 articles in the past 90 days averages at zero, suggesting broadly neutral local coverage with no sustained controversy. His second homes and affordable housing work draws on direct prior experience founding the Cornwall Community Land Trust — context that shapes what might otherwise look like routine casework.
