I have today written to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport about the future of the BBC.

Lovely to see the reveal of the Southport Memory Quilt earlier. No matter where you’re from in the town, there’ll be a memory for you.

With apologies to Hemingway - Cameron, May and Johnson were the gradually, but Truss was the suddenly. She's got less self-reflection than Dracula.

The Tories seem to have decided to have a day off for the Hillsborough Law second reading.

The racist attack on a synagogue in Manchester today is horrifying. The Jewish community should have been able to observe the holiest day of the Jewish calendar peacefully. I want to extend my thoughts and solidarity to the Jewish community in Manchester, in Southport, and across the country today.

I forgot to post on #VenueTShirtDay so a belated tweet to give some recognition to a much missed place from my youth. Small independent live music venues need support. Go see a band this week.

This morning I asked DEFRA about the announced 50 million pounds of investment into Southport Wastewater Treatment Works which will reduce the overflow discharges to just 3 per bathing season.

I’m appalled to see a fire on the pier overnight, but am very relieved that the emergency services did such a good job of putting it out before it did too much damage. I’ll be speaking with the fire and rescue service and other agencies today to find out precisely how the fire started.

Patrick Hurley @patrickhurley.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

Today in Parliament, I had the honour of thanking Sergeant Gregory Gillespie, PC Luke Holden, and PCSO Timothy Parry for their extraordinary bravery. Their quick actions during a tragedy in our community showcased true heroism. Thank you for everything you do!

Today is one year since I was elected as the MP for Southport. I wanted to take a moment to highlight the incredible work of my award winning team 👏 My team and I have closed over 6,000 cases since last July.

Great to be at the launch of the Southport Learning Town initiative tonight. Bodies like this are key to renewing the social life of towns, and I fully support everything they’re trying to do for our area. 📚

The condition and closure of the Pier has been a huge source of concern for everyone in Southport over the last two and a half years, and whole community shares the desire for the Pier to be reopened.

🏥 Great News for Patients in Southport I’m proud to share that Southport & Formby District General Hospital in Southport will receive much-needed investment as part of the Labour Government’s Plan for Change.

It was a pleasure catching up with Michelle, Principal and Chief Executive of Southport College and KGV Sixth Form College. We had a constructive discussion on key issues facing the Further Education sector, particularly around FE funding, and opportunities for student visits to Parliament

🔴 Up to 3,700 children in Southport (Years 3 to 11) will now get Free School Meals - thanks to this Labour governments plan. ⬆️ Part of a national expansion helping over half a million children ✅ Lifting 100,000 children out of poverty 💷 Putting nearly £500 back in parents’ pockets

Deeply concerned about Southport’s Jordan Johnson-Doyle, missing in Malaysia. I’ve contacted the FCDO and remain in touch with his family. We’re doing all we can to support efforts to find him. If anyone has information, please come forward.

Patrick Hurley @patrickhurley.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

This Knife Crime Awareness Week is a powerful reminder that we must keep pushing for change. We need serious conversations about prevention, education, and the role of social media in young people’s lives. There’s no single solution - but what’s clear is that we must act.

🐝 Wearing Yellow for Bebe’s Hive on World Bee Day 🌼 Today, my team and I are proudly wearing yellow in support of Bebe’s Hive - a beautiful initiative created to honour the memory of Bebe, and to raise awareness and funds for grief support and child loss services. 💛

Thank you to everyone who has written to me about the Assisted Dying Bill. This is one of the most difficult and personal issues we debate in Parliament, and I’ve read every message with care and compassion.

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ This Sunday, I’m running the Liverpool Half Marathon with Lily from my team to raise funds for Elsie’s Story Charitable Trust—a cause close to Southport’s heart. Please donate, share, or come cheer us on 🩷 👉 www.justgiving.com/page/patrick...

And during the interval, it was humbling to see the work the Salvation Army do with their foodbank and babybank. It’s awful that these services are needed after the austerity years, but I’m pleased that there’s help for those who need it.

Lovely to be invited to attend the Southport Salvation Army’s ‘Spring Sounds’ concert tonight. The Sefton Young Musicians have done themselves proud. 😍

Right now, the Commons is voting through the Employment Rights Bill, improving people’s working lives. For those who say MPs are all the same, just look at who turned up. Hundreds and hundreds of Labour MPs, whereas possibly only 25 Tories in total.

Good luck to everyone taking part in the Half Marathon or the 10 miles run in Liverpool! I have set up a JustGiving page to raise money for Elsie’s Story ahead of the Half marathon. Please join me by donating, sharing this message, or cheering on the runners at the event. 🩷

This includes funding community projects, providing vital medical care and support for individuals and families, and championing initiatives that bring us together through shared joy and connection.

📢 Supporting Lifelong Learning with The Open University 🎓 Great to attend The Open University Westminster Showcase last month and discuss the OU’s incredible impact in Southport and across the UK. As an OU alum myself, I know firsthand the value of flexible, accessible education

In such dangerous times, it’s essential to be back at the table.

I recently met with NFU members and the wider farming community to hear their concerns firsthand. I've since raised these issues with ministers to ensure their voices are heard

Standing room only in Westminster Hall for the debate on inheritance tax. Given the number of people who have request to speak, I've withdrawn my own request so colleagues can have longer to make their points. I am following the debate closely, though, and will be taking all points seriously.

Patrick Hurley @patrickhurley.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

On the contrary, dozens of MPs - myself and several Tory MPs included - are currently in a meeting in Parliament until 7pm to discuss this hugely important issue.

Patrick Hurley @patrickhurley.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Robert Jenrick tweeted two hours that Parliament is done for the day. But that’s not really true.

Patrick Hurley @patrickhurley.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

It’s Groundhog Day and so obviously Tory MPs are yet again wasting everyone’s time pretending that Keir Starmer broke lockdown rules. It’s like it’s 2022 all over again. They’re really not learning from their mistakes.

Patrick Hurley @patrickhurley.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Someone makes a suggestion to slightly change the design of some kitchen knives to make them safer and less likely to be misused, and a Tory MP characterises this as taking "all sharp objects off every adult".

🚨 Offenders must face justice 🚨 Too many offenders refuse to attend their sentencing, denying victims their day in court. I welcome the government’s commitment to changing the law to allow them to face justice.

Today, 80 years since Auschwitz was liberated, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and all victims of the Nazis, as well as the victims of genocide in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. Those dark days must drive us to build a brighter future. #HMD2025
