Our movement is one of radical optimism.
Not seeing the world just as it is, but how it could be.
Cait Prowle delivers our Sororal Greetings at Labour Party Conference.
The Energy Independence Bill is a major step forward for community ownership.
By requiring developers to offer communities up to a 20% stake in new renewable projects, it will give local people the opportunity to own and benefit from clean power on their doorstep.
New laws to help cut bills, protect consumers, crack down on rogue companies and put more power in the hands of communities.
Today we’re introducing the Energy Independence Bill, a fairer energy system that works for people.

Energy is an everyday essential.
No one should be ripped off by rogue companies or see bills rise by price shocks thousands of miles away.
This is a first downpayment on fixing a broken system, protecting consumers from unfair costs & putting the public back in control.

Workers, customers and communities should have a stake in the businesses they depend on.
That’s why we’re working to double the size of the co-operative economy. @AngelaRayner sets out how the Government’s new support for co-ops will help turn that commitment into reality.

Everyone should be safe at work.
Usdaw and the Co-operative Party fought for stronger protections for shopworkers. As @kittysull1 said in Parliament, changing the law must be backed by action to tackle abuse and violence in our shops.
People deserve a stake in the wealth they help create.
Co-operative ownership gives us a say in the businesses we depend on and helps keep wealth in the communities that produce it.

The halls, clubs and venues that bring us together matter too much for their future to be decided without us.
