captivating telling of the situation at the BBC from Lewis - I found his conclusion particularly interesting. the co-operative party has said "it should be viewers and listeners who decide its future, not Ministers or opaque committees" - perhaps we could've avoided all this.

last year I wrote for our blog on Respect for Shopworkers Week. the reduction in abuse this last year is promising, but there's still so much work to be done.

I experienced first-hand the truth of violence against shopworkers
We must ensure that respect for shopworkers is part of our everyday lives, not just a once-a-year commitment.

that there isn’t a mainstream 7pm-ish music show on the bbc is bad imo. get your radio stations to pick the lineup for variety each week + charts. make people listen to stuff they wouldn’t otherwise imo

the best way to defend the BBC we love is by putting it in the hands of the people who care about it most. a modern BBC with a modern ownership structure would mean you have more ways to express your thoughts on auntie than just paying or not paying the license fee.

A new Director General, a new Charter... a new model of ownership? It's all change at the BBC, but the change to a mutual model is well overdue. We think the BBC should be owned by you, the public.

where the PM set the challenge, our movement steps up with the answers - from Ministers, Parliamentarians, economists and researchers. modern economies are changing, and how we measure and motivate their success must change with them. very proud of our team for delivering this

the lesson we should all learn from Mamdani is that open primaries are extremely good and we should have them and that I was right this entire time. also that centring co-ops in your campaign is a great move. also, again, that I, personally, was right the entire time

badenoch’s “broadly in line” and jenrick’s “probably” both symptoms of a pathetic Tory party circling the drain, desperately spitting out what they can, but fundamentally too cowardly to admit they only hold these views because twitter has radicalised them.

Katie Lam’s comments stink of desperation. This crass racism used to mean she’d be kicked out of the Tories but not now. The Conservative Party seem to be falling all over themselves to chase the tail of Tommy - two names - Robinson. It’s becoming like the BNP in a twin set & pearls.

There’s something special - a je ne sais quoi - about co-operatives. We saw it at L’Onde de Coop 2025 in Paris this week, where co-ops from across Europe gathered, inspired by our world-leading ambition to double the size of the UK co-operative sector. 🇫🇷

Reform's ‘plan’ to revoke the legal status of millions of UK residents is morally abhorrent & economic madness The public believe in fairness & mutual respect, not this cruel Trumpian policy that would leave us all poorer. We are not America - we must resist this dangerous turn in British politics.

The BBC was pushed to do thematic reviews of its news content by the Conservative government who felt it wasn't impartial. At the time I wrongly thought they were trojan horse tools... Instead they became some of the best free training resources for journalists. Obviously often ignored by the BBC.

communities are the first to the brooms when the dust of the far right needs to be swept up and they’re the last bastion of a politics that can defeat them at the ballot box. empowering our communities with ownership rights is morally and electorally right.

🚨 NEW: The Co-operative Party is Britain’s fourth-largest party in Parliament. But in BBC output, our representatives are often labelled simply as “Labour”. We asked how often this happens, but the BBC refused to say. Today, we’re asking for answers.

Every year, reoffending costs the UK over £21 billion, while key sectors like rail face urgent skills shortages. So our movement is doing something different. The Co-operative Group, in partnership with City & Guilds, is launching the UK’s first rail apprenticeship scheme for prisoners.
