Read more Party news While it was a missed opportunity, there are announcements in the Queen’s Speech which can be more co-operative and progressive. 11th May 2022 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. Two first time candidates in ‘unwinnable’ Hampstead Town secure a seat for Labour Co-op. 11th May 2022 If ever there was a case study in the art of the impossible – it certainly was Hampstead Town in the 2022 local elections last night. This year’s local elections saw a record number of Co-operative Councillors elected to town halls across the country. 9th May 2022 Millions had the chance to vote for co-operation and they did, returning a record number of over 1200 Co-operative Councillors to office. This was especially true in Scotland and Wales where we saw the number of Co-op Councillors double, following on from record parliamentary co-operative groups elected last year. The co-operative movement offers the ideas, principles and values which should form the bedrock of this year’s Queen’s Speech. 9th May 2022 This Queen’s Speech perhaps more than any in recent memory is critical in providing the framework for how we will tackle the many difficulties the ongoing crises provide. It’s imperative the Government builds on the values and solutions of co-operation within it to meet that challenge. 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.
