The government has actually committed to doubling the co-op sector and made a few moves to enable it: more funding, new departments, creating channels between orgs and government etc.

My original point is that doing things directly for the mutual sector while pushing divisive policies is useless.

Just going off local experience, there's such a huge disparity between what local Labour representatives do vs. those in government.

All my locals are heavily involved in amazing community projects, while the government pushes bills to tear communities apart. It just doesn't feel like it can last.

Clive and Nadia are the two that confuse me most - they're so outspoken and completely misaligned with the current Labour Party.

Clive's given his reasons but still... I think there comes a point where their names will become tainted by association and if we're not there already, it's not far off.

The dog days are over videos are healing something in me holy shit 💃

Sounds amazing to me! You would have to reach out to your local party and volunteer your services as that kind of stuff would all be organised at the local level.

Thanks, Rachel!! It could be such a joyous thing 💚

Interesting, thanks!

How do you find this out so early? I can't see this week's on the YouGov website yet

Amazing! It's been a similar story here, people want to get involved as quick as they can. Very exciting!

Getting involved with local Greens opened my eyes to a whole world of community organising that was right under my nose. This boost of enthusiasm is just what our communities need right now 💚
