WELSH valleys communities gathered in a series of assemblies to look at combating the far right, two former politicians reported at the weekend.

Former Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood and ex-Labour MP Beth Winter joined forces to see what can be done to improve conditions for people living in south Wales valleys.

The two former politicians said the former industrial areas of Wales have shocking levels of unemployment, ill-health and poverty and warned the latest round of Westminster austerity cuts would make the situation worse.
