Informing Wales from the Heart of the EU

Thank you for visiting my website, which explains my role as a UKIP MEP for Wales in the European Parliament. I was very honoured to be elected to represent you, the people of Wales as one of only four Welsh MEP's. Although in UKIP, we are opposed to Britain's membership of the EU, Whilst I am there, I will work hard, to ensure that we get as much back for Wales as we can. The pages on this website will show you the kind of work that I do on your behalf, as well as giving you some good resources for further study about the EU and our role within it.

If you would like to contact me to discuss any matters I raise, then please feel free to.
