Rooted in a 1927 pact with Labour, this alliance traces back to the Rochdale Pioneers of 1844. Burnham’s bold moves include slashing business rates for pubs and venues, empowering mayors with tax revenue, and even proposing to turn water companies into customer-owned entities. His “Manchester bee” branding echoes the Co-op’s iconic symbol — a visual nod to his deep personal commitment. While Labour has long championed co-op ideals — from Keir Starmer’s pledges to expand the sector to laws aiding community asset purchases — Burnham’s leadership marks a powerful, tangible leap forward for this century-old movement.
