Read more Party news Requiring photographic ID to vote is an equalities issue 11th May 2021 The new law announced in today’s Queen’s Speech requiring voters to show photographic ID is a backwards step for democracy, making it harder for people of colour, the elderly, students and people with disabilities to vote. We need a Co-operative Recovery for the Highlands and Islands 2nd May 2021 I was delighted to meet fellow Co-operative Party candidate Anas Sarwar in Inverness on Saturday to help him launch A Recovery Plan for the Highlands and Island Empowering and Enabling our communities. Like Anas I know that we need a recovery plan for Scotland and the Highlands and Islands in the next parliament. Like In order to keep local democracy accessible, the government must review its position on online meetings 29th April 2021 We’ve made great progress in the last year with opening up local democracy. The government’s plan to force councils to return to physical meetings completely ignores this. The Co-operative Difference in policing means supporting our communities and tackling injustice 27th April 2021 As a Labour & Co-op Police and Crime Commissioner, I know the difference that co-operative principles can make in power. Owning the Future Conference Our Conference brought together speakers from across the co-operative and labour movements to discuss how we own the future. Don't worry if you missed it, you can catch-up all the main sessions online. Watch Support our campaigns Nutritious and healthy food is a right. Millions of people in the UK are struggling to feed themselves and their families. The food poverty crisis in the UK is not getting the attention it sorely needs. That’s why the Co-operative Party is campaigning for food justice, tackling food poverty locally, and campaigning for a more strategic approach to the issue nationally. Join the Campaign Protect the spaces that bring us together. Love it? List it! is our campaign to help communities take the first step to protect the loved local places like parks, pubs and post offices from being sold-off. We're aiming to list over 1,000 local spots as "assets of community value" and fighting to give communities more powers to protect and eventually own the local places that bind them together. Join the Campaign Violence, Abuse, Threats: It's not part of the job. Nobody should face violence at work. Yet every day, more than 400 retail workers are attacked – just for doing their jobs. That's why we're working co-op societies and Usdaw to back a change to the law to secure stronger protections for shopworkers and tougher penalties against those who assault or threaten them. Join the Campaign Nowhere to hide for modern slavery in our supply chains. Modern Slavery is one of the great evils of our time and it’s happening under our noses. We're helping lead the fight to stamp it out. The Co-operative Party's Charter Against Modern Slavery commits councils to proactively vet their supply chain to ensure no instances of modern slavery are taking place.
