It’s really exciting news I must say I did begin to lose faith we would ever see the bank return to mutual ownership but I’ve been proven wrong

There is definitely a ‘block’ the moment I’m challenged culture on Bluesky. absolutely everyone’s right to block & not engage but as a whole progressives will struggle to beat the right if we can’t handle criticisms from other progressives but I guess English & Welsh Greens don’t like talking Co-ops

Or Carla could champion co-operative and mutual solutions like Labour is just like Thangam would of done giving greater consumer ownership

They are looking at mutual and co-operative models that will run them as not for profits and will deliver greater consumer rights and ownership
November 29, 2024 at 6:14 PM
the commission will consider the use of co-operative and mutual models that will deliver better consumer rights of their water giving us real ownership- this is something the Green Party used to support sad to see them turning away from realistic solutions to grow the co-operative & mutual sector

Where did you get them! They are awesome

Although i think it makes an interesting point on the confusion over hostility. Plays into a point on ‘culture war’, a term I hate, some of the conservative culture war warriors seem to confuse public disinterest and lack of understanding of postmaterialism concerns with outright opposition.

exciting wins for the co-operative sector.

The mutuals & co-operative council has resulted from strong work between this countries largest mutuals so seeing government support for this is exciting.

Co-operatives and mutuals will deliver the sustainable growth for our country that puts people first
🚨 BREAKING: At tonight's Mansion House speech, Rachel Reeves announced three vital steps to support the co-operative and mutual sector, helping drive the inclusive growth our country needs.

In the GOPs defence they are effectively already calling for quicker counting it’s just they would prefer to just cut off after the day after the election even if only 10% has been counted and just declare the winner assuming the GOP wins otherwise yes it’s keep counting 😂

I note Co-op aren’t on
that list - while the rise will absolutely have impacts on us, we have frozen our meal deal at 3.50 for Members, while Tesco has increased its’ prices.

Shows how a business serves its consumers instead of profit maximisation can deliver better for our communities
