Reform UK Councils have committed to take out £2.3 BILLION in new debt.

@phildstewart Presumably this means they will just seize Diego Garcia for themselves?

@floboflo Are you seriously trying to blame Keir Starmer for the closure of C&A? It's not/wasn't even a British company!

OurCoop is now helping community energy groups power 65,000 homes with renewable energy, through over 380 partnerships with groups across the UK.

That's more than a third of all community-generated renewable energy in the country, saving over 800 tonnes of CO2 per year.

@DanNeidle Is it possible the real figure is higher than this because of the use of trusts and other structures that result in the under-reporting of wealth? I believe this is a way wealthy people do in fact limit/avoid taxes. Does the "tax gap" figure under-report the under-reporting?

🏡 Housing co-ops work. The problem is that UK law doesn't have a home for them.

Without a proper co-operative housing tenure, co-ops have to work to legal structures built for something else, making them harder to set up, harder to scale, and harder to access.

On the 7th of May, over 1,100 Co-operative candidates will stand across the UK, contesting more than 1 in 5 seats up for election, in over 120 councils.

Vote Labour and Co-operative on 7 May.

Today, the Co-operative Party is launching Yes in Our Backyard - our new report on community-led housing in the UK.

The housing crisis is one of the defining failures of modern Britain. 🧵

Fantastic news and huge progress from a few years ago. A real chance to convey the power of co-operation and the role co-operatives can play to the electorate at a time when that is needed more than ever.

🎊 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣! 🎊

We're standing over 1,000 candidates at this year's Local Elections.

Our Labour and Co-operative candidates will make the case for local power, local ownership, local wealth, and local pride. 🌹🐝

A massive campaign win for our members and the credit union movement.

Millions more people will have access to fairer borrowing and saving because of today's reforms.

Growing credit unions, growing our movement, growing our economy.

@lemnsissay @NazShahBfd @NazShahBfd's testimony on @BBCNewsnight this evening was remarkable and powerful. Her courage is a model for us all.

The Gorton and Denton by-election is approaching, so I think this deserves revisiting.

Farage squirms as Rep. Jamie Raskin obliterates the "Putin-loving, free speech imposter, Trump sycophant".

Please share as widely as possible. The news media have a habit of forgetting about Farage's service to Russia.

@ElectionMapsUK This underlines how our electoral system isn't fit for purpose in a multi-party system. Many of those who complained that Labour won a large majority last year with a fairly low vote share would be happy to see Reform gain a majority with 28% - but that would be a travesty.

[Fr Paul @revpaulwhite]

I was a citizen of the EU for most of my adult life, and it gave me the right to live, work, travel or retire anywhere in the EU.

This was taken away by Brexit which was led by those with close ties to Russia.

Resist Russia and Trump and Musk.

Rejoin the EU.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

📊 The Brexit majority hasn’t just slipped 👉it’s vanished. Completely.

This chart from Peter Kellner/YouGov shows:

• 5 million 2016 voters have died
• New young voters back Rejoin by 5:1
• 29% of Leave voters now want to rejoin
• Net result: Rejoin 19.8m vs Stay Out 11.7m

➡️ An 8 MILLION majority for Rejoin.

Britain is now a pro-EU country.
The only people keeping Brexit alive are politicians who benefit from the damage.

When Farage uses his millions to promote hate, we all pay the price.
