Today we welcomed Government Ministers @JimfromOldham and @mtpennycook to our Councillors' Forum. The Forum gives councillors a direct line to share local issues with @mhclg and a chance to raise the practical realities of delivering national policy on the ground. 1/2

Today, we’ve confirmed our first Labour & Co-operative candidates for the 2027 local elections. As our electoral pact with Labour turns 100, they’ll champion shared ownership, stronger communities and more power for people to shape the future of the places they call home.

A new report. £10 million for co‑operative development. And the Prime Minister telling conference the UK gave "the co‑operative movement to the world". Our CEO @RoseMarley1 on an incredible week for co‑ops - and that comes next: buff.ly/s5MKwBE

We’re stronger when we own things together. Our first Labour & Co-operative Prime Minister Andy Burnham writes for Metro on putting power back in people’s hands. Co-operative ownership gives workers, customers and communities a real stake and a real say.

Delighted to bring forward a new £10 million regional Co-operative Development Programme to help mayors and strategic authorities set up more co-operative businesses, owned and run by the staff, customers and communities who use them, so local people share directly in their success. 🐝 @CoopParty @coopukcampaigns @coopnews @CoopInnovation @CooperativesUK gov.uk/government/news/board…

Co-operatives 👇
Our 25-year Farming Roadmap puts co-ops at the heart of our country’s agricultural future. This is part of our ambitious agenda to double the size of the co-operative and mutual economy. Great to join a roundtable discussion at #Lab26 with @CoopParty and hosted by @ArlaFoodsUK.

A big job in British politics at an important moment… could you be the next @CoopParty General Secretary?
Could you be the next General Secretary of the Co-operative Party? 🐝 We’ve got big plans for the future, and co-operative values and principles have never been more relevant or more needed. We’re looking for someone to take the Party forward.
