Motion 10 sets out bold ambitions to grow co-operation in the UK. But let’s be real, delivery depends on leadership. And right now, that’s the weak link. #CoopInsider #coops #iyc2025

Good to see members back the animal welfare motion (90% in favour). But support on paper isn't enough. Will the Coop take real steps to improve standards, transparency and sourcing, or is this just ethical branding? Members will be watching. #CoopInsider #AnimalWelfare #Coops #chicken

Credit where it’s due. Members backed the motion on trade with Israel, showing the power of collective values in action. And yes, political donations matter too. Ordinary people backing a party rooted in co-op values is a counterweight to billionaire-funded politics. #CoopInsider #MemberPower #coops

While the big retail co-ops dominate the headlines, grassroots co-ops are quietly transforming communities. Stirchley Co-op Development is building affordable, eco-friendly homes & retail space. True co-operation in action. More of this, less corporate drift and fawning. #CoopInsider #birmingham

At the SAOS conference, co-ops were called key to scaling sustainability and innovation in agriculture. But without funding and support, is the movement set up to fail? Leadership matters. Who's making it happen? And with Richard Self gone, who’s stepping up? #CoopInsider #AgriCoops"

The #CoopInsider has always wanted to attend the Co-operative Futures conference but hasn’t managed to. Their work supporting new and innovative co-ops is vital for the movement. Honest conversations like ‘The Trouble with the Double’ are exactly what’s needed.

Doubling the size of the co-op economy sounds ambitious, but with so many ghost co-ops and a movement struggling to support its own, is it realistic? Growth needs solid foundations and leadership, not just kind words. Does the UK cooperative movement have them? #CoopInsider #GhostCoops

The Co-op Economy Report paints a rosy picture of the movement, but how much of it is real? With ghost co-ops wiped from the register and trade bodies out of touch, are we just being fed a convenient myth? Time to dig deeper. #CoopInsider #GhostCoops
