We've long called for regulators to play a greater role in enabling growth. Today's big news is another promising step on our journey to doubling the co-operative and mutual sector📈

Reform UK accept £9m from a Thai based businessman and few questions are being asked. We desperately need party political funding reform to stop foreign money influencing politics. Reform UK Party Ltd is not a political party it's a business, time to wake up and follow the money.

60% of the British public agree: our voting system is not fit for purpose.
The upcoming Elections Bill is a chance to fix it.

Promising Development: The Future of Aid in an Uncertain World. A brilliant new @thefabians.bsky.social pamphlet launch and talk. While it can feel like Britain and the world is turning inward we must not forget that we are interconnected and have a major role to play in international development.

@coopparty.party.coop Conference was a blast! Great to hear from our leading Labour and Co-operative MPs and our Gen Sec Joe Fortune. The Co-operative Party and Cooperative movement are making a tangible difference to the lives of #communities up and down the country! And there is still more to do!

Britain’s economy works best when people have a real stake.
The Prime Minister said we must “grow our economy from the grassroots.”
Our new report shows what that means in practice. Co-operation driving economic growth that lasts.

Monday was a good day! It's not a regular occurrence going to 10 Downing Street to speak with the Prime Minister's Special Advisor. So had to make the most of it. A productive meeting for our stakeholders, and all part of the political engagement process.
