We are clear in our aim and clear in our approaches to achieve co-operative communities right across the country – and as a movement, I’ve outlined what we must do.

I was absolutely delighted that Hazel Grove Constituency Labour Party unanimously passed the Co-operative Party’s model motion in support of an Online Sales Tax last week.

While it is a missed opportunity by the Government to create a fairer, more co-operative society – there are several pieces of legislation which we believe can be made more co-operative and progressive.
