27-Labour Councillor for Wallsend Central-Campaigns Officer at the Coop Party-Geordie-GMB-Labour

[Charlie Gray @CharlieJGray]

The government's new 'Pride in Place' programme and the 'Community Right to Buy' mark the start of a new era of community empowerment, one where local people have the tools to take control of the places they call home.

My first blog as a Campaigns Officer at the Co-op Party 🐝🐝

"The government’s new powers for communities will enable every community to become the master of its collective future, using the blueprint highlighted by our Community Britain campaign and the individuals who make it up."

This is a snapshot of the World Cup we could have been having. Fans from around the world meeting people they might never have met, enjoying football and becoming friends.

Rather than the World Cup of unadulterated greed we are being subjected to, before a ball has been kicked.

The locals in USA are all getting behind Algeria. 🇩🇿

97 years ago today Margaret Bondfield was appointed as the first woman Cabinet Minister

[Kirsty McNeill MP @kirstyjmcneill]

Of course @AndyBurnhamGM’s HQ is in a club (and this one is a cracker). The important thing about clubs isn’t just that we belong to them. It’s that they belong *to us*.

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

Fantastic to have so many members out on the doorstep today in Makerfield for our Co-op Campaign Day to help elect Labour & Co-operative candidate @AndyBurnhamGM. 🌹🐝

[Charlie Gray @CharlieJGray]

A lovely afternoon knocking on doors for our @CoopParty candidate @AndyBurnhamGM in the Makerfield by-election!

They’d stick a card reader on a fire exit

[Rosie Parry @rosiemparry]

The response to this piece has been so lovely and captured exactly why I wrote it: the Labour Party is full of people who sacrifice so much to fight for a better world. May has been a grim month for us, and lessons must be learned (!!!) but we will always come back stronger ❤️‍🔥

Cooperative and mutualised models are legitimate and good, actually.

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

@LeeAndersonMP_ You don’t need to argue with me, Lee.

You need to listen to Gemma, the person who runs The Hamlet, and then decide whether as a Party you are prepared to do the decent thing.

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

Mr @christiancalgie has been busy putting out a partial version of events these last few days, amplified by yourselves.

I think it’s time all your readers had the whole story. They were all out of order and, if they had any decency, would now hold their hands up and apologise.

Roy Keane on Jordan Henderson... 😬

“Clearly Jordan’s not fit - I don’t think he should be involved… I’ve heard people say they want him around the place - for what? Does he do card tricks? Does he have a sing song? Does he do quizzes in the evenings?”

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

Proud to support @AndyBurnhamGM as the Labour and Co-operative candidate in the Makerfield by-election 🌹🐝

Are youse free on the second Saturday in July to come to Durham Market Place for 8.30am?

There's one week to go until the Local Elections.

Our Labour and Co-operative candidates across the country standing are standing on a platform of local wealth, local pride, local ownership, and local energy.

This time next week, vote Labour and Co-operative.

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

A generation of community assets has been sold off with no route for local people to intervene. That ends today.

The Community Right to Buy, a Co-operative Party policy, is now law – with the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill.

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

Power belongs in your hands, not just in Westminster.

Today, the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill finally passes into law, featuring a landmark Community Right to Buy.

This is massive win for community power and for the co-operative movement. 🐝

This very well could be the last men's World Cup

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: For the first time in history, The World Cup Final will have a halftime show.

It will be organized by Chris Martin & Coldplay and could take up to 25 minutes.

[Charlie Gray @CharlieJGray]

Dear Mr UK 'DOGE', I believe I've found an example of local government inefficiency you may want to investigate.

Reform UK are the biggest pack of wide boys and spivs this country has ever seen.

[Tom @tomwhx]

These people are not serious

[Grenfell United @GrenfellUnited]

In response to Simon Dudley's (@reformparty_uk) recent comments on Grenfell:

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

This is just sickeningly insensitive.

Not an ounce of decency, compassion or respect for the 72 lives lost and wider community.

But this isn’t a slip-up or a stumble. This is Reform showing us exactly who they are.
