Interesting Royal Corgi - this is their actual policy from 2018 following the 'stop funding hate' campaign.
Looks like the person running the twitter account doesn't know who shops at Co-op.
"A key element of our policy has been to ensure we protect the value of our Co-op which, as a consumer co-operative, includes commercial value.
We know that these publications are purchased by a significant number of members and customers. Sales of The Daily Express, The Daily Mail and The Sun remain an important revenue source in 2018 with nearly 1 million members buying one of those three titles. In addition, the groceries associated with sales of those newspapers and, more generally with members who buy those newspapers, is also significant.
STOP FUNDING HATE CAMPAIGN
We also note the re-orientation of the Stop Funding Hate campaign itself as set out in November 2018 because ‘over the past year we’ve started to see some big changes...there has been a noticeable drop in the number of anti-migrant and anti-Muslim front pages.’
CONCLUSION
The policy we put in place in 2017 sought to protect the commercial and social value of the Co-op. During 2018 we have continued to engage with publications
to share the co-operative difference and this policy
has not only helped us reach more customers with
our products and services but also has directly led to engagement with these titles which has seen increased coverage of the issues our members care about including our campaigns and ethics agenda. Therefore, we will retain the existing policy as it stands."
