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.

Fantastic to see a new champion for co-operatives and mutuals announced by Rachel Blake MP at Co-op Congress this weekend.
The new champion will help raise the profile of the sector and represent it across government 🐝

Good luck England and Scotland.
Football's at its best when it belongs to the people who love it. From supporters' trusts to community-owned clubs, the beautiful game thrives when it's in the hands of those who care for it most.

The World Cup reminds us how much football matters to our communities.
But elite talent starts on local pitches, and too many of those assets have been sold off.
Now, thanks to the Community Right to Buy, your community has the first say when assets like pitches go up for sale.

Congratulations to @Meg_HillierMP on her election as Chair of the Parliamentary Group of Co-operative MPs.
Co-operation gives people control over the entities that run their lives, and ownership of assets in their communities.
That's what our MPs are in Parliament to deliver. 🐝

At conferences in the South West and London, our members came together last week to make the case for co-operation, for communities with more power, more ownership, and more say over the places they call home.

For years, banks have disappeared from Britain's communities. Nearly 7,000 branches gone since 2015. 380,000 businesses that want finance can't get it.
Today MPs back what we have been arguing for: a Community Reinvestment Act, so banks have to serve the places they profit from.

We need a new economy, one rooted in co-operation, not polarisation.
Watch as @andy4makerfield shares why he’s proud to be the Labour and Co-operative candidate for Makerfield and how we can move forward together. 🐝

Loveland in Penryn shows the power of community ownership.
Boosting food security and bringing people together, spaces like this are essential.
And with the Local Power Plan, we're unlocking £1bn for community energy so groups like these can generate their own clean power.

What happens when communities are empowered to run things themselves? You get places like Newquay Community Orchard, combining environmental education, mental health support, and training in one space.
Great to see Noah Law MP raising their vital work in Parliament.

We visited Newquay Community Orchard with Noah Law MP – one of those places that shows you exactly what communities can do when they're trusted to run things themselves.
An orchard, a co-working space, English and Maths classes, support for adults with SEN, all in one place.

The bee has been a symbol of co-operation in Britain since 1844, when the Rochdale Pioneers carved a beehive into the stonework of the world’s first co-operative store.
It’s been the emblem of our movement ever since, and it’s the symbol of our party today. 🐝

Local public services should work for people, not private companies.
The government's new Neighbourhood Guarantee will crack down on profiteering and put residents in the driving seat.
This is economic democracy in practice.

At conferences in the East of England and Midlands, co-operators came together in May to make the case for a Community Britain: communities with more power, more ownership, and more say over the places they call home.
