Congratulations to Meg Hillier MP on her election as Chair of the Parliamentary Group of Co-operative MPs.
Co-operation gives people control over the entities that run their lives, and ownership of assets in their communities.
That's what our MPs are in Parliament to deliver.
We need a new economy, one rooted in co-operation, not polarisation.
Watch as @andyburnham.bsky.social shares why he’s proud to be the Labour and Co-operative candidate for Makerfield and how we can move forward together. 🗳️
At conferences in the South West and London, our members came together last week to make the case for co-operation, for communities with more power, more ownership, and more say over the places they call home.
What happens when communities are empowered to run things themselves? You get places like Newquay Community Orchard, combining environmental education, mental health support, and training in one space.
Great to see @noahlawmp.bsky.social raising their vital work in Parliament.
We visited Newquay Community Orchard with @noahlawmp.bsky.social – one of those places that shows you exactly what communities can do when they're trusted to run things themselves.
An orchard, a co-working space, English and Maths classes, support for adults with SEN, all in one place.
Fantastic to have so many members out on the doorstep today in Makerfield for our Co-op Campaign Day to help elect Labour & Co-operative candidate Andy Burnham. 🌹🐝
99 years ago, the Cheltenham Agreement created the Labour and Co-operative electoral pact, and together we've fought for an society where wealth and power are shared ever since.
Every Labour and Co-operative representative and campaigner today is part of that story.
Loveland in Penryn shows the power of community ownership.
Boosting food security and bringing people together, spaces like this are essential.
And with the Local Power Plan, we're unlocking £1bn for community energy so groups like these can generate their own clean power.
The bee has been a symbol of co-operation in Britain since 1844, when the Rochdale Pioneers featured a beehive in the stonework of the world’s first co-operative store.
It’s been the emblem of our movement ever since, and it’s the symbol of our party today. 🐝
Now there’s a chance to put it on the next series of Bank of England banknotes.
Vote today. Put the bee on the banknote.
