Blah blah blah.

Good to know #farageriots said it but there’s no British steel industry

It's time to fire up the furnaces again.

Is that Indian owned British Steel ?

Makes no sense whatsoever.
The last mortal remains of British Steel sold to Indian conglomerates that want to shut down whatever they’ve bought;
Sheffield Forgemasters, central to the future of British nuclear power, thrown to the wolves.
What future?

In 2016 the EU drew up measures to prevent China dumping steel. The Tory government torpedoed it. Starmer trying once again to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds- just like Brexit because in trying to appease he achieves nothing other than looking weak.

It isn’t British steel anyway, it’s owned by Chinese multi-industrial company Jingye Group. Like every other sector, a publicly owned asset flogged off by the tory scum.

We're only making plans for Nigel.

We haven't got a steel industry. We don't make virgin steel we just recycle scrap metal apparently 🤔🙄😢

Yeh, it's about as safe under this government as Grangemouth is.

Except for the thousands made redundant at Port Talbot in Wales, but then Wales doesn't matter to Labour in London.

There is no "British Steel." Yet another misnomer.

Tell that to the British workers making it.

gaspodesm8.bsky.social•16 days ago

"Made in Britain," for an Indian company, given so much money by the British government, in order to keep some jobs. If a Honda is built in Europe (not England since #BrexShit, ) it's still a Japanese car. Jaguar isn't British, Land Rover isn't British, they're foreign owned, just parts are British.

Tell that to Trump. It’s British Jobs that will be lost when the US stop buying steel forged in the UK. It doesn’t matter if it’s an Indian company that owns the steel works

On past performance, tariffs are a negotiating ploy by Trump. In reality while their steel and aluminium producers will be happy, tariffs will harm the US economy. The question is what is Trump really wanting.

Successive governments have sold our resources to foreign countries, we need to stand up to the bully trump, not give in, (negotiate in government language)
