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.
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.
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. 🌹🐝
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.
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.
Good luck England and Scotland.
Football's at its best when it belongs to the people who love it. From supporters' trusts to community-owned clubs, the beautiful game thrives when it's in the hands of those who care for it most.
Fantastic to see a new champion for co-operatives and mutuals announced by Rachel Blake MP at Co-op Congress this weekend.
The new champion will help raise the profile of the sector and represent it across government 🐝
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.
The World Cup reminds us how much football matters to our communities.
But elite talent starts on local pitches, and too many of those assets have been sold off.
Now, thanks to the Community Right to Buy, your community has the first say when assets like pitches go up for sale.
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. 🗳️
