The emergence of the 'New Deal' and its attendant claim to be part of a new political and social future based on the 'third way' seems to offer formerly excluded people new horizons for social inclusion. This article provides a critical exploration of the likely impact of the 'New Deal' for disabled people. The article contextualises the 'New Deal' in the wider ideology and rhetoric of 'Welfare at Work'. In doing so, it highlights similarities between 'New Deal', 'Welfare at Work' and the victim blaming ideas which characterised discussions of a growing 'social underclass' in the 1980's. In this way, its ideological underpinnings may simply reaffirm disabled people's economic and social dependency.
