Retired County Cllr Carl Crompton

Pride in Place does what levelling-up never could: it puts funding and decision-making power directly in communities' hands. Vote Labour and Co-operative on 7 May for councillors who will deliver pride in your area.

From all of us at the Co-operative Party, we’d like to wish a very Happy Easter to everyone celebrating!

🇪🇸 NEW: Spain is showing how to unlock co-ops at scale. ✅ Make them easier to run ✅ Back them with law ✅ Recognise community energy and housing co-ops For co-ops and the wider social economy, this is how the model grows.

"What makes us Co-operative, as well as being Labour, is that we believe in the power of community." 🌹🐝 Our councillors are the facilitators and leaders who put power back where it belongs: in our communities. Support your local Labour & Co-operative candidates this May.

The world is generating more and more clean power. 🌞 Our communities should get their chance to produce and profit too - and with the Local Power Plan, that’s exactly what they will do.

Our economy should empower communities to own and shape their local areas. By putting community ownership first, we ensure talent and ideas have the foundations they need to thrive.

We're at Music Venue Trust's Venues Day in Shoreditch seeing how co-operative models secure grassroots music. Music Venue Properties has saved 7 venues by purchasing freeholds as a Community Benefit Society. Community ownership is the key to long-term stability for live music.

Community-owned care works. 🏠 Paul Davies MP highlights the success of Co-operative Care Colne Valley: a model for ethical, not-for-profit home care. We're committed to doubling the size of the co-op sector to share this impact nationwide. 🐝

Every country in Europe watched electricity prices spike last week. Belgium hit 400 €/MWh. Germany €450. Netherlands nearly €500. Spain barely moved above €100.

An outdated law is holding one of our most important community institutions back. 🧵
