Would you like to facilitate a workshop on a issue that you are passionate about or a skill you want to share with us? Is there an issue or skill you would like us to do a workshop on?

We are developing issue/skills networks to provide the space for innovative ideas that influence government and practical solutions for our communities, but most importantly enable you to meet other members and help shape what we do in the areas you are interested in. Email noel.hatch1@gmail.com

    How can you have a EU when the UK keeps looking to America, we have the New Deal for the disabled American, we had the Pathways to work, American , now we have workfare American, we have also a new way of thinking for us the disabled look to wards America.

    We have the media frenzy of disabled sick are scroungers, Work shy.

    I think New Labour is more American then EU. thats why after 38 years I’ve left the party and I went on to Plaids new web site and stopped my Union donation going to Labor, thats the way we should spell Labour now LABOR.
