The amazing story of Mondragon and UK examples such as the Rochdale Pioneers and more recently the remarkable Coin Street have motivated my politics, led me to join the Co-operative Party and still inspire me today. Well worth a read:

Alongside the #BigPush Campaign Day & GOTPV sessions today, The Labour Party, Co-operative Party & UsdawUnion were leading a National Retail Crime Campaign Day to tackle shoplifting & protect retail staff. We all deserve to feel safe in our workplaces & I'll continue to stand with you always🌹
📺 Co-operative Party MP Alex Norris MP has been a relentless campaigner in Parliament on calling for action to tackle retail crime as well as ending violence and abuse against shopworkers.
He joined John Slinger for Rugby today in Rugby as part of our #SaferHighStreet campaign day.
We're proud to campaign with Labour on delivering safer high streets up and down the country.
A Labour & Co-operative government would be on the side of shop workers, as Yvette Cooper makes clear. #EndRetailCrime
Thank you to everyone from UsdawUnion The Labour Party and Co-operative Party out today talking about the scandal of retail crime and violence against shopworkers.
We need to build support for Labour’s Community Policing Guarantee to get a grip of this crisis once and for all.
Great to be out in Peterborough supporting @coopparty PPC and PCC Andrew Pakes Anna4Labour - visiting Central Co-op Food as part of @uklabour @coopparty campaign day on retail crime #endretailcrime
Retail workers too often face violence and abuse as workers in Norwich have told me.
The Labour Party Co-operative Party would act including a community policing guarantee with 13,000 more neighbourhood police & PCSOs.

First leaflet drop for Ayden (pretty good with the letter boxes and just one dog) in support of Sadiq Khan and @uklabour & @coopparty GLA candidates
Thank you to Co-operative Party and The Labour Party for helping us bring the experiences of shopworkers to Parliament and working with us over the years to force the Government u-turn in introducing a standalone offence for assaulting a retail worker #FreedomFromFear
