Show Notes
Keir Starmers government swiftly moves to fully take over British Steel, aiming to protect a key industry and boost domestic production. New tariffs slash import quotas and raise duties, targeting a 50% domestic steel usage rate. Backed by industry leaders and Nigel Farages party, the move is seen as crucial for national security. However, a National Audit Office report warns of potential losses topping £1.5 billion by 2028, with daily operations burning through £1.3 million. The government is in talks with owners, emphasizing steelmaking as top priority to safeguard jobs and production.
