Patrick Brian Hurley[2] is a British Labour Party politician who was elected the Member of Parliament (MP) for Southport at the 2024 general election.[3]

From 2011 to 2023, he served as councillor for Mossley Hill on Liverpool City Council.[4] Hurley stood for the newly-created Waterfront South ward in the council elections on 4 May 2023, but was not elected.[5][4] Hurley is the first Labour MP for Southport.[4]

Hurley is from Prescot, Knowsley.[4]

Following riots in Southport on the night of 30 July 2024 in response to an incident the previous day where eleven children and two adults were stabbed by a man, Hurley appeared on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on the morning of 31 July 2024, where he said that the rioters were not local residents, but "were thugs who'd got the train in" and were "utterly disrespecting the families of the dead and injured children, and utterly disrespecting the town".[6] The rioters had broken windows of Southport Mosque; Hurley told the Today programme that people "were using the horrific incident on Monday, the deaths of three little kiddies, for their own political purposes".[7]
