Happy Vaisakhi to Sikhs celebrating in the UK and across the world. In 1699 the 10th guru of Sikhs, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, established the Khalsa Panth.

They committed to live their lives in the spirit of service to all, in defence of freedom and equality.

Doesn't your local community deserve better?

Steve Reed and Tom Hayes for Bournemouth East visited Hengistbury Head, a centre on its way to community ownership 👏

Labour’s High Street plan will:

✅ Take action on retail crime
✅ Give communities a say and stake through a Community Right to Buy
✅ Introduce new banking hubs

Here's Tracy For Mayor 🌹 on how it will breathe new life into our struggling high streets.

⏳ A Britain we build together would have co-ops at its heart.

We're achieving so much already - in Government, we'll address the lack of finance and build public awareness, breaking down the barriers that hold co-ops back.

That's what co-operative growth looks like.

Register a community asset you care about as an Asset of Community Value (ACV). Successful new applications include Stirchley Baths, The Cottage at Brookvale Park, Stirchley Library, Cotteridge Park & The Town Hall. We can help with the process: savebirmingham.org/guidance-asset…

There is still time to apply for this exciting new role at CEE.

We are looking for a #Heat and #Retrofit Coordinator to join our small but perfectly formed team.

Apply by 15 April 👇🏻👇🏻

As Tracy Brabin 🌹 says, high streets are the lifeblood of communities across Britain.

Labour's High Street Plan announced today will help breathe new life into our communities and unleash community ownership.

📺 Watch Tracy Brabin 🌹 at our Local Elections launch event today talking about Labour's new plan for our high streets, including key Co-operative Party pledges on safer high streets, access to banking and bringing empty shops back into use through community ownership. 🌹 🐝

This is exactly why I and my fellow leaders have lost confidence in the Mayor. To publicly issue this letter during the election campaign shows that he thrives trying to undermine local councils for political gain. (1/4)

Today the Government have announced it will introduce a new law which would protect shopworkers against violence, threats and abuse whilst at work.

📺 Watch Co-operative Party Chair @JimFromOldham on why our fight isn’t over until every shopworker can go to work with freedom from fear.

📢 We took the stories of shopworkers 'from the shop floor to the floor of the House of Commons'.

Co-operative Party MP Alex Norris MP thanks members of our movement for forcing the Government to finally introduce a standalone offence for assaulting a shopworker.

Brilliant endeavours by members, colleagues, Council, Directors and Executives of Co-op and other Co-op Retail Societies. Plus sterling work from Co-operative Party and it's elected MSP's, AM's, Lords & MP's

📢 We want UK Parliament to lead the societal change we need to see.

UsdawUnion The Labour Party Alex Norris MP Thank you to everyone who stood with shopworkers on this vital campaign. Every petition you signed, letter you delivered and email you sent made a difference. We know you’ll be with us as our campaign continues to end violence against shopworkers once and for all.

Following years of campaigning by our party and our movement, the Government is finally u-turning and dropping their opposition to creating a new offence to protect shopworkers from violence and abuse.

The GCSE grades of poorer children were improved if they grew up using a SureStart Centre! Who’d have thought it - the last The Labour Party Government. Politics make a difference. #Thingsgotbetter

“The wilful destruction of Sure Start and the reductions of children’s benefits after 2010 has set back opportunities for millions of children’s futures. That’s why our country desperately needs a new Sure Start.”
