“A union of nations that gave trade unions and the co-operative movement to the world.”

Our first Labour and Co-operative Prime Minister @andyburnham on the Britain he loves: a country of solidarity, not separation.

[Sean Woodcock MP @SEANLWOODCOCK]

Brilliant speech by the Prime Minister today.

After that no one can say they don’t know what he stands for.

This was a conference speech that ignored other parties and focused on what we will do.#Lab26

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

Behind the stories we're told about hate and despair, is the truth we all recognise.

A Britain of hope, solidarity, co-operation and pride.

We're proud to have co-operators in the Cabinet – from Business, Education, and Justice to Energy Security, Scotland, and the Prime Minister himself.

They take into government the case that communities should own the assets, businesses and services they depend on.

The BBC is cutting £500 million and one in ten jobs, with staff on Newsnight expecting their programme to go.

A TV licence costs £180 a year and carries no vote in how the BBC is run.

The Charter Review should make licence fee payers members, with a real stake and a say.

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

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. 🐝

Any other non-MPs we should invite Nigel?

@GlenysThornton @CoopParty We are proud of you!

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

Co-operation is at the table, with more seats than ever before. 🐝 💼

With a quarter of Cabinet posts now held by Co-operative Party representatives, now is our moment.

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

In his first speech as Leader of the Labour Party, @andyburnham set out the argument we have been making for a century: real power for the places and people who've been shut out of it.

Now is the moment for co-operation, community ownership, and local control. 🐝

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

Congratulations to Co-operative Party MP Andy Burnham on his election as Leader of the Labour Party.

For the first time ever, a Labour and Co-operative Member of Parliament will become Prime Minister. 🌹🐝

Private equity cuts corners in pursuit of profit, often leading to appalling conditions for already low-paid staff, while co-operatives give staff a say and a stake in the business and its success.

That's why we're calling for the end of profiteering in social care.

[Vivian Woodell @Cooperator1]

@DanNeidle Is it imaginable that the UK could shift to a tax on beneficiaries of estates and large gifts in general? I believe this is how most countries deal with taxation of inheritances. I think this would incentivise the spreading of inheritances among more people.

[Vivian Woodell @Cooperator1]

@Hughwilliam8 @DanNeidle It would give them an incentive to give their wealth away younger actually.

[Vivian Woodell @Cooperator1]

@Unearthtothrive @DailyMail Of all the taxes where speculation about an increase might lead to a reduction in demand I'd say inheritance tax is the least likely to have that effect. How many people seriously make spending decisions based on possible future inheritance?

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

Private profiteering is poisoning our social care system at the expense of staff, patients and families.

It's time we put social care in the hands of the people who depend on it most.

This week, we're releasing a new report on social care. Read the preview in the Mirror.
