What is annoying is that both main parties have openly declared in the last few years that maintaining the capability to make steel in the UK and retain our blast furnaces was an key essential UK capability that should be retained. What's changed? Where are the journalists asking these important questions?Incredible that we are told we are gearing up to stand up to Russia at the same time as shutting the last remnants of domestic steel production.

Learn to live with it .... you got what you voted for.
I suppose you're right, I voted Labour.Its what happens when you sell off strategic industries such as steel production , power production and distribution , water , transport etc. Nothing has changed .....the risk was exactly the same 30 years ago as it is now.

That purchase a shitload of stock from UK suppliersBoth fine German establishments.... and we're not even in the EU.
Quite possibly, though I think you'll find there are very many products that are unique to the brand which are not sourced from the UK. Irrelevant really.That purchase a shitload of stock from UK suppliers

Some pensioners those on the old scheme get lessnice to see the pensioners getting a £400 rise..
Alright then.Some pensioners those on the old scheme get less
Well Done Starmer and Labour.
The Labour Government have unreservedly pulled the inquiry into grooming gangs.... can this incompetent and inept government sink any lower?
Yeah you're all correct I personally cannot find anything good they have done for the average working person, so forgive me for not heaping praise on them.
Anyone that saw Jess Philipps making that announcement at the last minute before the Easter recess will know she was not in support of it.
Cowardly, done at the last minute, before the recess knowing there would be many on their own side would be opposed to avoid discussion and debate in parliament.
Shocking!
You begrudge us old fukers a bowl of gruel for our dinner?nice to see the pensioners getting a £400 rise..
Well the new laws protecting... workers rights... probably helped the "average working person"-whatever that actually means.Well Done Starmer and Labour.

Thought you'd pitch in defending the indefensible..Already had countless local and national inquiries, no point spending millions and millions more for the same recommendations which causes more delay - The Tories failed to act on the implementations, Labour will get on with them.
The IICSA national inquiry was set up in 2015 and carried out 15 investigations, including into grooming gangs and abuse in schools and church settings.
Prof Jay had previously led a landmark local inquiry into widescale abuse in Rotherham, where it was estimated 1,400 children were exploited between 1997 and 2013.
The IICSA's final report, external was published in 2022 and set out 20 recommendations it said were necessary to reduce child suffering.
Prof Jay said: "Our mission is not to call for new inquiries but to advocate for the full implementation of IICSA's recommendations."
So I take it you support - fine.Well the new laws protecting... workers rights... probably helped the "average working person"-whatever that actually means.
Stupidly commiting to no tax,VAT or NI rises on workers..probably protects the average worker.
You go through issues like a shopping trolley with a busted wheel, one para it's grooming gangs, then average workers then back to grooming. It's like having our very own version of Boris Johnson on the site.
