We’re all co-operators now! (well, on our way…)
If I said to you ‘mutuals – great! We need more of them’, the average person might not know what I was talking about. But if I asked ‘have you ever had a financial product with a building society or shopped in your local Co-op or John Lewis?’ then we might be on more familiar territory.

Not only did they fail to eliminate the deficit, but people did not feel that ‘we’re in this together’. Twelve months on, the Tories have a new leader, and Britain its second female Prime Minister. How would she position the party? Was it to be continuity or a departure from the Cameron and Osborne era?
