Out on campaign this evening I was told I should be "ashamed of myself" just for campaigning for a party which wasn't #Reform, even though it's said in passing it's comments like this which fuel me, how dare you tell me how I should feel, I am proud to be a #LibDem and what we stand for!

. @kamalaharris.com just finished "107 Days" probably one of if not my favourite audio listen! Insightful and inspiring! Your presence and drive was what encouraged me to return to politics (albeit local) I cannot wait to hear you speak in October in London! #KamalaHarris #politics #107days

The Campaign has been an absolute whirlwind so far, the passion, enthusiasm and dedication by people around me is inspiring! The momentum never is only getting bigger and better! Let's keep Dave Busby's Legacy alive!

The comments made by #Trump today on #FoxNews were nothing a real leader would say, instead of standing at the wheel uniting a nation after yet another act of political & gun violence he instead continues to double down on his anti left rhetoric and sew more division! #HopeNotHate

I would disagree with everything #charliekirk would say but in a democratic society everyone has a right to their beliefs, we have a right to debate, to challenge, to speak, but not a right to violence.

Mark Hurley @markhurleyind.bsky.social · Sep 10

Right, left or centre, no matter your beliefs in a free & democratic society we have a right to hold them, no matter if we disagree with eachother violence is and never should be the answer! Politics aside a family has just lost their dad.

To be selected as the #LiberalDemocrat candidate for the Washbrook & Copdock ward is both an honour and a pleasure, the campaign trail kicks off now! #suffolk #politics #babergh

It isn't about the #flag itself, it's about the context in which it is being weaponised and the context of the message the person or persons flying them is trying to convey.

It's clear ever since Trump took office yet even clearer to me now, We need to strengthen our ties with #Europe

Having watched the news conference between #Trump and #Putin it's clear they have agreed on one thing..... It's anyone else's fault apart from Putin, to see Putin preach about peace and security for #Ukraine makes me sick, there is a way for peace.... STOP THE #WAR

Mark Hurley @markhurleyind.bsky.social · Aug 15

Dictators do not deserve the #RedCarpet treatment! There is one word to describe this #summit ..... appeasement

Mark Hurley @markhurleyind.bsky.social · Aug 15

There's something really quite jarring, after invading an independent nation, causing countless deaths and devastation over three years Putin is welcomed with a red carpet to a "Peace" Summit without Ukraine, when did we start rewarding aggressors? #stantwithUkraine #Putin #Trump #Alaskasummit

The amount of die hard Tommy supporters who cannot physically see that he would ever be a violent thug is absolutely mind blowing, just because you can't believe it doesn't mean this all HAS to be some big government and media conspiracy.... And you all say we need to wake up!

To those who say "I stand for real BRITISH VALUES" remember within those values is written "Tolerance and Individual Liberty" that is what I will always love and support about this country.

I had the privilege to make the case for #Pride once more, I spoke to the Parish Council Last week, once again met with unanimous support, this shows no matter how small or 'rural' the community is we still have a voice and we will still stand for #Pride #Equality.

Today I have written an open email to the County Council of #Suffolk their decision so close to #Pridemonth to no longer fly the Pride Flag in June is both Ill-timed, Ill-planned and deeply shameful!

For years the #LGBTQ+ flag flew over June, why the sudden change!
