Career
Goldsworthy was MP for Falmouth and Camborne from 2005 until she lost her seat by just 66 votes to the Conservative candidate George Eustice in the 2010 general election in the redefined Camborne and Redruth constituency. In the House of Commons she was the Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Communities and Local Government.[3]
Goldsworthy graduated from Cambridge University in 2000 with a history degree, before going on to work for Truro MP Matthew Taylor. Elected to Parliament in 2005, she shadowed the chief secretary’s role for two years – 'good preparation for her current Treasury position' according to Civil Service World.[1]
Standing for parliament again despite 'golden goodbye' payment in 2010
Having lost her constituency seat in the 2010 election, Goldsworthy was given a payoff of £32,383. Despite this resettlement payment, she has been recalled to the Liberal Democrats and will stand for the Camborne in the 2015 general election. [4]
