Shared space, shared ownership and shared experience. I enjoyed getting up at Labour Conference and making the case for Community Britain and the co-operative movement today.

[Joe Fortune @FortuneJF]

Great to be part of @coopparty South East event today. Focused on the need for politics to better understand the national importance of shared space, shared experience and shared ownership and support it.

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

The Co-operative Party is pleased to support Labour and Co-operative MP @andyburnham for Leader of the Labour Party.

If successful, Andy Burnham will be the first Labour and Co-operative Prime Minister in history.

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

Today, we welcomed our newest MP at our Parliamentary group meeting, @andyburnham.

This Parliament we’ve helped deliver the biggest shift in power to communities in a generation, and there’s so much more campaigning we’re excited to share with you soon.

🐝 Andy Burnham will be the Co-operative Party's first Prime Minister. @CoopParty's assistant general secretary Caitlin Prowle talks to LabourList about the "historic moment of opportunity" for the co-operative movement https://t.co/Rjm82XMgcL

[Joe Fortune @FortuneJF]

Incredibly sad news - Shanika was a great colleague and friend. She was great to work with and I always enjoyed catching up with her and hearing about her latest exploits. Thoughts with all her friends and family. 🐝

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

The Co-operative Party is deeply saddened to hear of the death of Shanika Mahendran, Councillor for New Bradwell, and a former member of our staff team.

[Jim McMahon OBE MP @JimfromOldham]

It was great host a cross-party roundtable with a delegation of Ukrainian and Canadian co-operators to Parliament where we discussed support for co-operatives in Ukraine and how to rebuild back from the rubble of war.

I was delighted to host as Chair of the @CoopParty as we discussed a range of issues from co-operative development and opportunities in farming, energy, housing, and social care services.

Thank you to fellow co-operator @alexsobel who also chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group and acts as Trade Envoy to Ukraine for Charing one of our sessions, and to @FortuneJF and @CaitProwle from the Co-operative Party.

Safe journey and carry on co-operating 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦🐝

Writing for @HuffPostUK, Co-operative Party's Joe Fortune explains why it matters that Andy Burnham is likely to be the UK's first Labour and Co-operative PM:

"Co-operative care can deliver a more personalised care that puts both recipients and workers in control. International evidence demonstrates the power of co-operative care to improve service quality, wages, working conditions, and staff retention." ✏️ Dan Monaghan

[Sienna Rodgers @siennamarla]

Detail here from @CaitProwle on removing private profit from the adult social care sector and using co-operatives instead – something Burnham, as a Co-op PM, may well be interested in picking up: https://t.co/e0Ely1heAE

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

We're proud to support @bevcraig as the Labour and Co-operative candidate in the Greater Manchester Mayoral by-election 🌹🐝

[Joe Fortune @FortuneJF]

There is a sizeable co-operative footprint in UK agriculture and today, within its Farming Roadmap for England the Government has set out its ambition to help create many more. Co-ops are robust, productive and more equitable and will help deliver the food security we all need.

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

The government's new Farming Roadmap puts co-operatives at the heart of English agriculture.

In its own words, co-ops and mutuals will play "a much larger role": lowering costs, spreading risk and giving farmers a fairer share of the value they create. 🐝

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

LABOUR AND CO-OPERATIVE WIN IN MAKERFIELD! 🐝🌹

Congratulations to @AndyBurnhamGM on being elected as the @UKLabour & @coopparty MP for Makerfield!

@andy4makerfield

[Jim McMahon OBE MP @JimfromOldham]

This is significant - it will unlock and safeguard community assets across the country #communityownership 🐝

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

99 years ago, the Cheltenham Agreement created the Labour and Co-operative electoral pact, and together we've fought for an society where wealth and power are shared ever since.

Every Labour and Co-operative representative and campaigner today is part of that story.

[Joe Fortune @FortuneJF]
