I wouldn’t be shocked if Trump decides to do this to American steel. Even Reform UK supported this and they’re the most conservative party in the country.

I have to say.. Not sure this is a bad idea, at least in short-term.
Usually I’d be highly against it, but in the current climate this just makes sense. I only hope it doesn’t become a rule..

Could they could build more power plants for cheaper electricity then give a steel mill an arc furnace and sell it off?

Honestly?? Anything to not let steel production in Britain to not die at this point. It’s a shame that the father of the Industrial Revolution is in such a state
For goodness sake guys we’re the UK!! we should show the others how it’s done!! Not just sit back and let the declinism take over.
I just hope Starmer makes the UK competitive and competent instead of just…..being there.
