The BBC is a British institution and we, the license fee payers, should determine its future – not opaque committees. Agree? Add your name for #APeoplesBBC 👉 party.coop/a-peoples-bbc/
It’s time for A People’s BBC
The BBC belongs to the British public, not to the Government. Licence payers, not Ministers, should determine it's future.

The Employment Rights Bill has now passed both Houses of Parliament. It will implement the most significant uplift for workers’ rights in decades.
While more remains to be done in strengthening workers’ rights, this is vital legislation that we must continue to build on.

I’m proud to have voted for the Railways Bill, which will establish Great British Railways, a publicly-owned railway company that will operate most passenger rail services.
For passengers, this means frozen fares next year, fewer delays, and a unified ticketing app without booking fees.

We need to talk about social care.
So that’s exactly what we did.
We spent the day with staff at Be Caring, a carer-owned co-operative in Leeds, and the only ‘Outstanding’ care provider in the area. This is what they had to say about their people-first model. youtu.be/xrtYHZnKBqw

Rightly lots of debates about growth this weekend - rightly because it was low productivity growth that saw wages entirely flatline during the 2010s.
