SS – THE government has recalled parliament this weekend aiming to pass emergency legislation to “take control” of a struggling British Steel plant, prime minister Keir Starmer said.
MPs will join a rare Saturday (12) sitting to discuss the draft bill which would allow the Labour administration to take measures to prevent the plant’s imminent closure with thousands of jobs at stake.
Glad they’re finally bringing a strategic industry back into public ownership.
Shame the Tories will just sell it off again when they get back into power.
I don’t get it but I am ready to be educated. On one hand I get how having a steel making industry could be of strategic importance in times of national emergency but if all the raw materials have to be imported anyway surely that negates needing the end product manufacturing located here as well?
I don’t know how these things work but couldn’t they have done the same with Grangemouth?
Yet not one singular fk was given about Grangemouth closing
Now do the railway you cowards.
Scottish independence ASAP 🏴
A hugely influential album! Glad to see the government appreciates its imortance.
Rare sitting of parliament maybe doing something that might actually benefit the voting populace but will probably decide not to
Hay Keith Port Talbot steel works is on the phone the Super Bainite military grade steel they manufacturer there with fantastic de-gasing times and quality wants to know why its blast furnaces got fucked over?
If the Chinese owners are losing so much cash why do they not just hand it back the uk government to run.
Just get it from China fs, it’s cheaper
I think it’s very disingenuous to play whataboutism with Grangemouth. They are entirely different, industries, scenarios and contexts.
We should not be arguing against more nationalisation and particularly, nationalising a vital resource like steel. It is not a solution to the issue of supply chains but it certainly improves our standing.
The private owners want to wind down production and, being a Chinese company, there exists genuine security concerns to their ownership and control of pricing and supply.
Grangemouth no more, Port Talbot no more, Scunthorpe? Let’s throw a ton of public cash at it!

Amazing what they can do for England, isn’t it.
