Thank you to everyone who voted in the Co-op Party NEC By-election I’m delighted to have been elected
This is exciting news!
Our Party continues to prove its worth! But we still need to go further. I hope members will support my election onto the NEC so we can keep punching above our weight and deliver for our movement

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.

Happy 180th Birthday to the co-operative movement!! 🥳
Our Co-op can trace its roots back to the first store opening in Rochdale on 21 December 1844. Co-operatives are a different way of doing business as the excellent article below by Co-op News describes👇💙

Come on Alaska it’s sad enough you voted out Mary Peltola but do us one thing and don’t go back to First Past the Post it’s just a terrible voting system. See GOP you can win under Ranked Choice Voting you just proved it. You don’t have to abolish Ranked Choice Voting as well
! The margin for the 'ranked-choice voting' referendum in Alaska really got tight today, in one of the state's final updates.
The margin is now just *895* votes in favor of the 'yes' to repeal RCV. (That's a margin of 0.28%.)
The lead of the 'yes' was cut by more than half today.

Hello blue sky!
Definitely feels like the better to be here.
Although when someone wants to create a mutually owned social media platform that will be good
