This year's Community Life Survey has just been released – and it paints a very different picture of Britain than the one you'll see in the media.

I want this Labour Government to succeed, and sometimes that means having difficult conversations.

When we listen to our communities and our members, we are stronger.

That’s why I’m running for Deputy Leader. Learn more and join my campaign: www.lucyfordeputy.co.uk

Co-operative housing already shows what’s possible when people own where they live. Fair rents, strong communities, real security.

In Parliament today, the Housing Minister agreed: it’s time to explore how law can help it grow.

We recognise that true national renewal must begin in our communities.

We know that politics and decision-making should be driven by communities themselves, shaped from the ground up.

This new era of community empowerment is essential to building a more Community Britain.

🧵 Later today, the House of Commons will start the second reading of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill.

This is a landmark moment: the biggest shift in power from government to communities in decades. Here's why it matters 👇

We urgently need new homes. So let's build housing that communities can design, own and afford.

Show your support for building more co-operative housing now by adding your name and saying "yes in OUR backyard". #YIOBY 👇 party.coop/campaign/hou...

They’re back.

Tory and Lib Dem Lords – the double act no one asked for, cheered on by Reform, are teaming up to weaken your rights at work.

We won’t let them.

It's a special moment when a co-operator, as a Minister of State, gets to introduce new legislation that fulfils such an important priority of our movement.

Here's our Chair, Jim McMahon, on why today's English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill is so crucial. It's why we're in politics.

We’ve got a plan, and we want you to be part of it.

While Reform sows division, we’re building a different politics:

🛠 Giving communities the right to save local spaces
⚡ Putting local people in control of new energy
🏘 Backing ownership that builds pride and trust

🇸🇪 1 in 5 Swedes live in co-op housing. With state support and deep roots in community ownership, Sweden has one of the world’s fairest housing systems.

🇫🇷 10% of France's GDP is driven by the French co-operative sector. They bank differently, build locally, and are legally recognised as essential to the economy.

🇮🇹 In Italy, co-ops are part of the constitution. With shared reserves, worker buyouts, and 30% of profits reinvested, Italy proves co-ops can scale and survive.

🇪🇸 Catalonia grew their co-op network 46% in 6 years, with local hubs, community power, and smart procurement that put care workers in control.

🇰🇷 South Korea doubled its co-op sector in a decade. That's what can be achieved with a government that backs co-ops to solve social problems.

🇬🇧 Britain built the co-op movement, now we’re ready to lead it again.

With @UKLabour’s plan to double the sector, we can grow co-ops in energy, housing, care and more, sharing power and wealth across the UK.

🌍 Our country gave the world the co-operative model. It's time we learned from what's been done with it internationally.

As part of the UN International Year of Co-operatives, we've launched a new report covering just that. 🧵

Today's spending review is a step forward for communities.

This government is backing communities with cash, getting them the resources they need to take control, as we've been calling for with our Community Britain campaign.

Co-operation built Britain. This is why it's important to make sure your councillors are co-operative 🧵
