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.

Fan ownership already works. Enfield Town is England's first fan-owned football club, Rochdale Hornets brought rugby league into supporter hands, and more than 80% of first-class county cricket clubs are owned by their fans.

Fans are the heart and soul of every club. The loyalty, the culture, the identity passed down generations. Yet across British sport, clubs are owned by hedge funds and private equity. Our new report says it doesn't have to be this way.

For the new report, I spoke to care providers and policymakers from across England. The message was clear - co-operative care can be transformative for care recipients and workers - delivering quality care and higher wages. They should be at the heart of a vision for the future care system.

Social care shouldn't be about extracting profit for shareholders. It should be about quality care, and rewarding the people who deliver it. We’re launching a new report on social care co-operatives tomorrow. Here’s why the model matters, from those who do the work. 👇

Devomaxx offers a neat marrying up of place-first + control + power, to Burnham's nascent economic agenda. A strong offer on community ownership would complement this nicely, both in terms of policy and narrative.

It's Co-op Fortnight, and this year's theme is simple: "Co-operate and we can change the world." That's what we do, every day. This year alone, the co-operative movement helped win a Community Right to Buy, so people can take ownership of the pubs, shops and spaces that matter to them.

The government's new Farming Roadmap puts co-operatives at the heart of English agriculture. In its own words, co-ops and mutuals will play "a much larger role": lowering costs, spreading risk and giving farmers a fairer share of the value they create. 🐝
