🧵Fantastic to see @coopuk's new campaign - focusing on member ownership & control and also #coops values and principles. We're not extractive businesses, owned by distant shareholders with shareholder dividend a top priority. Member ownership and control is a major point of difference - and that's true for all 7,000+ independent co-operative businesses across the UK (1 of 5).
At Co-op, we’re run differently. We’re not owned by a wealthy few, we are owned by our members. And because we're owned by YOU, we can do right by YOU.

The NHS’s half-billion-pound deal with Palantir. It’s the largest data deal in NHS history. Today, the ‘Federated Data Platform’ (FDP) – was awarded to US company Palantir. It’s bad news. 🔥 Here’s what you need to know about it, by data lawyers: yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/…

There shouldn’t be any difference in how people in trouble at sea are treated. But that isn’t the reality. The effort to find and save one of these groups highlights the tragic lack of effort to save the other. Every single person should have access to safety and rescue.
