Not wanting to dissect the speech in it's entirety, but the PM mentioned The Cooperative movement in his conference speech. Would it be worth reminding or indeed educating Mr Burnham where the movement first started? |  |

I don't think he needs reminding to be honest, I'm sure he already knows.
Labour Party founded 1900, Co-operative Party founded 1917 as both parties basically agreed on policy formal ties between the 2 were set out in the Cheltenham agreement of 1927.
At the last election there were 43 Labour And Co-operative Party MP' elected to parliament.
Andy Burnham is the first Labour/Co-operative Prime Minister. | | | |

He should be more informed about how a majority of fans might view his comments which appear to support the corruption which allowed Man City to dominate the game for the past 15 years
There were threads on here about the "funding" when the current owners took over |  |

My thinking was along with the resurgence of the football team it is another positive about the many positives of the town and should be promoted. | |

We're all justifiably proud of the independence of thought and action which the Rochdale Pioneers embodied, James
You're right, in that it shouldn't be forgotten and the same spirit still exists to this day, now embodied by the Ogdens, and indeed, many of our own fans, evidenced in recent times.Our MP, a Dale fan (not a pretend one) has been promoted to a junior ministerial role by Burnham - the first time this has ever happened
I'm just not sure we need to be "endorsed" by anyone [Post edited 1 Oct 19:07]
