I'm deeply sorry to hear of the passing of Peter Dean. He served the borough as a councillor for decades & I had the privilege of working closely with him when we were councillors in Failsworth, doing good things including the refurbishment of Failsworth Pole Gardens & many other projects. (1/3)

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.

What would it take to double the size of the co-operative and mutual sector? At our first conference fringe, we explored how businesses owned by their members can help build a stronger economy, and what needs to happen next.

Who actually owns the businesses and services you rely on every day? We think it should be the people who use and work in them, not shareholders chasing returns. We're welcoming new members every week, and working in government with Labour to make that real. Join us today. 🐝

The biggest transfer of power from Westminster in a generation… Now that’s real devolution.

This is real devolution and exactly what mayors have been pushing for so we can deliver further and faster for our communities. Giving extra powers and a proportion of income tax to regions means people will be able to see and feel the real benefit of their hard work and where that money is going. This will enable us to deliver on our ambitious plans.

The Prime Minister has launched a national conversation on social care. He has made it clear: profiteering – the extraction of profit from the people and firms that produce it – must end. In contrast, care co-operatives reinvest profit back to the carers and care they provide.
