We know the point of power is to share it, empowering the communities and places it actually belongs to. Sat at the Cabinet table today are Co-operative representatives who've spent years making the case that power and wealth belong with the communities most affected by them. 🐝
Thames Water is on the brink. This new government must end the bailout and bonus cycle, and hand ownership to the people who actually rely on the water. Customer ownership is the co-operative answer.

From Rochdale in 1844 to Downing Street today. For the first time in history, a Labour and Co-operative politician leads the country. Congratulations to Andy Burnham, Britain's first Labour and Co-operative Prime Minister. 🐝
In his first speech as Leader of the Labour Party, Andy Burnham set out the argument we have been making for a century: real power for the places and people who've been shut out of it. Now is the moment for co-operation, community ownership, and local control. 🐝
Congratulations to Co-operative Party MP Andy Burnham on his election as Leader of the Labour Party. For the first time ever, a Labour and Co-operative Member of Parliament will become Prime Minister. 🌹🐝
Private equity cuts corners in pursuit of profit, often leading to appalling conditions for already low-paid staff, while co-operatives give staff a say and a stake in the business and its success. That's why we're calling for the end of profiteering in social care.
While garden hoses run dry and our rivers fill with waste, shareholders' pockets have been filled with cash that should have been invested in our water system. Debt and dividends are draining Britain's water supply. We need to change the ownership structure.
This is the final week of the World Cup, and the busiest it gets for shops and deliveries. Our Shopworker Starting XI will be working through all of it. They deserve our respect. No-one should face abuse for doing their job. ⚽
In Worthing, co-operators came together last weekend to make the case for a Community Britain: communities with more power, more ownership, and more say over the places they call home.
The Co-operative Party is pleased to support Labour and Co-operative MP Andy Burnham for Leader of the Labour Party. If successful, Andy Burnham will be the first Labour and Co-operative Prime Minister in history.
The Government has introduced new measures to help building societies grow and expand the member-owned financial services in the UK. We’re working toward co-operative growth by building a financial system that works with our sector.
Peace isn't just the absence of war, it's rebuilt through co-operation. We've made that case, backing peacebuilding co-ops from the Middle East to post-war Ukraine. @alexsobel.co.uk's report from the Ukraine Recovery Conference shows why that argument is winning.
When communities generate their own clean energy, they cut bills and take control of local assets, keeping the returns where they belong. That's what puts the real power in the Local Power Plan, backing everything from village halls to local initiatives.
Today, we welcomed our newest MP at our Parliamentary group meeting, @andyburnham.bsky.social. This Parliament we’ve helped deliver the biggest shift in power to communities in a generation, and there’s so much more campaigning we’re excited to share with you soon.
In person in the North East and digitally in Yorkshire, co-operators came together last month to make the case for a Community Britain: communities with more power, more ownership, and more say over the places they call home.
