#coopconf25

Thrilled to support a policy that centres people, purpose and public good. But let’s be clear: sustainable AI must honour the workers and communities in DRC, Chile, Peru and beyond whose resources make innovation possible. Co-operation isn’t local or global — it’s both.
#FutureCoopEconomy

At Conference, I spoke about the missing piece in our AI debate: the minerals powering this revolution come from the Global South.
If we want ethical, democratic #AI, our responsibility cannot stop at our borders.
Fair supply chains. #Fairtrade. Fair futures. This is how we build.

A cooperative economic approach that places people at the centre, especially at the grassroots, is essential for rebuilding trust, strengthening belonging and shaping a better future for our community

Grassroots #communitycohesion builds a better Britain for all of us and it must be cohesion with communities, not done to them. That means truly listening to those who feel their voices have never been heard.

Its vital to show how it can rewire our economic settlement and unlock grassroots growth. Every Kent resident needs to hear this, again and again. #coopparty #lgr

Motion 2 calls out racist graffiti painted alongside the St George’s Flag in #Dartford, deliberate acts meant to divide communities.

The motion commits the Council to unity, fairness, equality and anti racism. Reform Party members abstained.

From the 60s to 90s the St George’s Flag was misused by far right groups to intimidate Black and Brown Britons.

History reminds us why standing firm against hate still matters today. No one should feel unsafe because of who they are or where they are from.
