The photograph shows Eleri who was 21 on the 19th and her brother, Huw, who was 18 on the same day celebrating their joint birthday – a few days later – at Seacombe’s ever popular Park

Eleri, centre, and Huw on the right of the picture, watch Rhys (16) making a speech after they had made their own 'thank you's' to all the guests who had joined them for the evening.

View Social Club. 

A few years ago Eleri initiated the successful Wallasey ‘Young Labour’ branch and Huw joined the party soon after. 

Eleri and Huw’s old school friends, Caitlyn and Christie, with Jed their dad are seen below under the ‘Lifeboat’ banner -

the Park View also hosts the RAOB – a charitable body that supports the New Brighton Lifeboat as its charity for this year.

The party-goers missed Friday evening’s Wallasey Labour Party rally at which Angela related what is happening in Parliament,

‘We didn’t vote to die at work’

Contributed by Lee Rushworth

The Hazards Campaign has launched a national ‘We didn’t vote to die at work’ campaign. The initiative, which was premiered at last week’s National Hazards Conference in Keele, has already attracted wide support from unions and safety reps. The campaign also has its own dedicated Facebook group. This declares the campaign is ‘against the Con-Dem government attacks on workplace safety and health.’ It adds: ‘We need to fight against: the deregulation of health and safety law; the misrepresentation of health and safety as silly, unnecessary, red tape instead of our human right; the lie that health and safety is a burden on business when in fact good health and safety pays for itself and business externalises the cost of poor health and safety on to us all, paying less than 25 per cent of the cost of the massive burden of death injury and ill-health caused by poor health and safety standards; and cuts in enforcement proposed by the new coalition government.’ ‘We didn’t vote to die at work’ posters have proved so popular, stocks were exhausted in three days and a reprint is underway. And don’t be surprised if you see someone wearing the t-shirt – hundreds have sold already.

By clicking the link below you will go direct to Angela’s speech. 

Angela demolishes some Tory myths about the bankers' and financiers' collapse. She explains how the Tories are determined to make 'blue collar' and low paid 'white collar' workers pay for it as an excuse to introduce cuts - for ideological reasons that have no bearing on the true situation.

It is well worth reading.
