@rurallabouruk 3. In 107 years we spent 27 years as 1 of 4 DLPs in @ee_labour, worked closely since 1964 with @cwclp as part of Sutton LGC, have fraternal links with @SuttonCoopParty, longstanding connections with @MMLabour & since 2000 worked closely with @CroydonLabour to fight the GLA seat
2. In 2028 Sutton & Cheam DLP (& from 1945 CLP) will celebrate 100 years on the same boundaries give or take 2-3 roads. It's arguable the CLP can also trace history back to 1898 (127 years ago) as 1 of the 90 SDF branches thanks to @rurallabouruk research https://t.co/Il3aRpPCqp
1. A happy 107th Birthday today to @SuttonCheamCLP Founded as a full DLP as part of @ee_labour (one of 1st 361 CLPs) at midsummer in a pub named after Robin Hood. You could not get a more William Morris romantic start 2 a CLP. History of the CLP is here: https://t.co/i19AipukrQ
London Climate Action Week kicks off today, showcasing our capital as a global climate leader.
Our capital is delivering the largest city-wide climate event in Europe with over 700 in-person and virtual events. I urge Londoners to get involved.
Proudly part of the co-operative movement.
Thank you to @CoopUK members for voting to continue our historic partnership, so we can continue to deliver on the values and principles of our movement.
Hearing from Shirine our CEO of @coopuk at our AGM, about the successful 2024 and the hardship caused by the criminal acts in 2025 to damage the Co-op's IT and infrastructure
We remember the energy crisis in 2022.
The panic when bills soared, the sinking feeling, the powerlessness. We knew something had to change.
Great British Energy is that change.
In public hands. For the public good.
🌱 GB Energy is here, the first publicly-owned energy company in 70 years.
As part of it, the Local Power Plan will put communities at the heart of the energy transition, creating a million new owners of energy, and generating 8GW of clean, green, community-owned power. ⚡️
We’ve worked hard for some of the biggest commitments ever made to the co-operative movement by a UK Government but I also know we have more to offer. 🐝🐝
