New report out today - looking at the opportunities from ‘double devolution’ and how new co-operatives relationships between councils and communities can drive real change.
We've launched a new paper titled "Empowering Communities through Empowered Councils". Over the last year, the Government has boosted powers to not just local councils, but residents too. Here's a few examples of what we can do with these brand new powers, campaigned for by the Co-operative Party.

That’s now 22 ex-Tory MPs in the Reform ranks. The same names and faces that broke your public services - now under Nigel Farage’s umbrella.
Signing of the season. Ben will be a great addition to the @reformparty_uk family as we prepare for Government. I cannot praise him enough or thank him enough for helping me at the start of my political journey. I've seen first hand how he can work with politicians of all colours to 'get the job done'. His great passion is education and young people as well as working towards a better country. This is a major coup for us as he has left an extremely well paid job to join our team. Ben Bradley to spearhead 'Doge' efficiency campaign In his new role as head of local government action, Bradley will work alongside Reform UK's deputy leader, Richard Tice, on the party's "Doge" efficiency campaign. The initiative aims to streamline council spending and deliver better value for money to taxpayers, drawing on Bradley's experience as a former council leader and MP. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

Rachel Reeves has today done more to transform the lives of 450,000 of Britain’s poorest children than any of the seven previous Conservative chancellors, who, in 14 long years, did nothing but harm to the lives of vulnerable children. newstatesman.com/politics/uk…

The English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill has passed its third reading. What does that mean? • The biggest transfer of power from Westminster to communities in a century • More local ownership of pubs, shops, and sports grounds • Ban on “upward-only” commercial rent reviews • Greater powers for mayors • Measures to kickstart local economies • Improved transparency in council spending

We’re making our first major investment in floating offshore wind. By taking a leading role in developing FLOW, we’re backing the UK’s clean energy ambitions and supporting the creation of hundreds of local, clean jobs. gbe.gov.uk/blog/major-floati…

Heading back from @CoopParty conf. Lovely weekend catching up with friends I introduced our policy papers & had the privilege of listening to the speeches of members. They set out far better than me how we can build a better, community-led Britain with co-operation at its heart

From requiring Growth Hubs to support alternative models of ownership and updating the curriculum for the Help to Grow Management programme, to improving access to finance for start-ups – this Government is taking steps to realise our shared ambition to double the size of the co-operative sector.

Local people know their area best and know what needs to change, like @SteveReedMP says. That’s what powers Pride in Place and that’s what makes Community Britain so important.

The answer is power. 💭 We asked @RNBlake what we need to fix to ensure growth in the economy translates to growth for our communities.

.@JPonpolitics has done a real public service here in talking about his diagnosis. Thank you, Jon. I’m awaiting advice from the National Screening Committee and will report back to the country once I’ve considered the advice and options.

You will not read anything better today, this week, this month, this year. @Will___lloyd on the royal scandal and why it is time to declare: No More Kings. A piece written with sadness. And rage. newstatesman.com/politics/20…
