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.

With ownership back on the agenda after Labour Conference, Interim General Secretary Cait Prowle makes the case for putting more power in more hands. Who owns Britain matters. It decides whose interests come first, who benefits and who gets a say.

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.

Co-operative Party @coopparty.party.coop · 01/10/2026
Ownership matters. New research from Persuasion UK following Andy Burnham’s conference speech suggests arguments about economic power, public control and ownership resonate with voters. That conversation should include sharing ownership and putting more power in more hands.

The clean energy transition works best when communities own it. From the Local Power Plan investing in community-owned energy, to billions for communities and local authorities to upgrade homes, Miatta Fahnbulleh is turning that co-operative principle into practice.

Imagine if your high street was filled with businesses owned directly by the people who work, shop and live there. Now, we’re helping make that a reality. Chair of the Co-operative Party Jim McMahon MP shares how we’re doing it with a £10m Co-operative Development Fund.

Boost to high streets with new £10million community-owned business fund
EXCLUSIVE: Announced by Communities Secretary Angela Rayner, the fund will help boost organisations that are owned and run by the staff, customers and the communities who use them

Co-operative Party @coopparty.party.coop · 26/09/2026
🚨 NEW: More community ownership. More co-operatives. High streets that work for the people who live there. From a stronger Community Right to Buy to bringing empty shops back into use, we’re putting more power and ownership into local hands. 🐝

Co-operative Party @coopparty.party.coop · 25/09/2026
🚨 NEW: The government has announced a £10 million fund to support co-ops and back high streets. The new funding will help local leaders establish co-operative businesses owned by workers and communities, giving local people a real long-term stake in their high streets.

Co-operative Party @coopparty.party.coop · 25/09/2026
Who owns our economy matters. 83% of new co-ops survive five years, versus 38% of UK businesses overall. They’re more likely to be Living Wage accredited and rooted in overlooked places. Co-operatives UK’s new report makes the case for giving more people a stake.

Our General Secretary Joe Fortune has given nearly two decades of service to our party and our movement. We are immensely proud he will now serve as General Secretary of our sister party, and we look forward to working closely with him in his new role. Our full statement:
Joe has given nearly two decades of service to the Co-operative Party and the wider co-operative movement. We are immensely proud that he will now serve alongside our first Co-operative Prime Minister as General Secretary of our sister party.

Under Joe’s leadership, the Co-operative Party has reached new highs in membership, influence and electoral representation. Throughout, he has brought the very best of our movement’s values and principles to everything he has done.

He will be immensely missed by our team, but we are delighted that his next chapter will keep him at the heart of our shared movement. 

As we approach the centenary of our two parties' historic partnership, we look forward to continuing to work closely together in his new role.
