The Business Secretary has declined to guarantee that British Steel will be able to secure enough raw materials in time to keep the Scunthorpe blast furnaces going.
Jonathan Reynolds said he would not “make my situation or the nation’s situation more difficult” by commenting on specific commercial details, the day after taking emergency powers to gain control of the Scunthorpe site.
Reform UK’s deputy leader Richard Tice joins Talk’s Jeremy Kyle to discuss this further.

They bought a German plant, put numbers on every part from cranes to blower motors, took pictures and the disassembled every single piece of kit shipped it back to China lock stock and barrel rebuilt it and they had a working steel plant, on the cheap. If the Germans had been smart they would’ve have smashed it up, now they’ve got steel being dumped on them.
Starmer is just cucked by the EU and Greta Thunberg.
The steel thing is bullshit. All were doing is paying it aint been nationlised by a long way
Labour Reform Conservatives are all the same. None of them can be trusted . Nobody believes a word Tice says, what a joke.
This isnt just a labour failure, it's been a lot of governments selling us out for decades.
It doesn't feel like they care about Brits 😔
Successive governments for decades have led to this mess. Let's see in a few months whether this is being used by politicians simply to create fear against China and the call for massive military expansion, or are they serious about spending billions on a UK industry. I suspect the former.
Look how BMC was destroyed, the 4th biggest car manufacturer in 1968 with 203,000 direct well paid employees now zero, and they wonder why there are 11 million people of working age not working, soon to be 15 million, I'm one of them.
Government offered 600 million for scunthorpe and turned it down and no the company wants to walk away with nothing say no more
I can't see anything worthwhile surviving another 4 years of this moronic government. They are so out of their depth because they have no talent and no vision and no integrity.
What does our country actually make and sell anymore?? All our coal , gas , oil ? And yet it’s imported. As for water , we’re surrounded by it ! How about desalination plants FFS
Vote reform uk let’s get rid of milaband and labour
One day people will wake and realise that the government have lied to them all their lives. They’re liars!!! Only vote for a party with a brain 🧠 left in their head….Make sure you a man or woman 😜
Anyone else deppressed after listening to the fact the UK is heading for a Biden-esque country of hell
London isn't part of Britain anymore.
UK is done too much corruption in the politicians!!!! Too many traitor
Trust isn't enough, Mr. Tice. What you needed to have said was: "Unlike the Tories and the Labour – and indeed any of the parties though they stand a snowball's hope in Hell's chance of getting into Government – we offer an enforceable Contract, rather than a Manifesto. Furthermore, in the first month of forming the next Government in 2029, what we'll do is set up a public commission made of members of the public, magistrates and Barristers who will (should a concern about a certain campaign promise be raised) test the veracity of the claim against the promise and, should they find we lied to the public, then we can be held accountable by the public. AFTER ALL: WE WOULDN'T BE IN GOVERNMENT IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE PEOPLE!"
That's what you needed to say.
What difference does it make if g b get to net zero when everyone else is using fossil fuel and getting all the benefits and us are getting nothing well done ed miliband
What is also insane is your on the record support for having American nukes on British soil Mr. Tice. Do you now understand how corrupt the Ukraine is and the proxy war the USA has been fighting against Russia using the Ukrainian army?
.
On our local trading estate some businesses are shutting down others have left the country and gone to Italy where the energy is affordable.
The Chines are much more advanced than any of our so called leaders, they know when to shut down i.e. the difference between profit and loss. They are also producing more skilled workers than our pathetic establishment.
It's about time Yvette Cooper was challenged on trying to gaslight the evidence on the rape and torture gangs by saying its misinformation.
Labour and conservatives pathetic- pretending to be last minute saviours when they are still worshipping at the alter of net zero-Richard is correct net stupid zero- this is infuriating!
Was brexit not about China?
Labour is really going to run the country to the ground
Isn’t it rather topsy turvy to have a Labour Government that’s reluctant to nationalise an industry? Looks like we’ve still got the UniParty.
Come on you two the climate agenda and green agenda is behind failing industry in uk wale up not china
Voting for Reform means, Goodby Disability benefits. Shame because I like the Reform party but I will not vote to further push me or others including children further in to poverty.
Get rid of this form of political system !!! We the people demand a system made for the people to have a good decent life not this Sh'x
Stop selling our industries to foreign countries.
Where is the common sense
I will gladly invest my pension fund in our proud steel gas oil industry is the rest of the world cutting there net zero answer no why should we then😡😡
Beware the yellow peril.
Starmer you have been conned and played into the chinese hands.
When Heseltine shut Parkside colliery I believe there are hundreds of years of coal under Lancashire with modern technology this coal could become a source of a clean and efficient energy!
We are at very low levels of CO2, most of our vegetation is starving.
Net Zero and mass immigration will cripple this country. Along with the crime, it's a gangster's paradise. The government will not do anything about the criminals they have let into the country they fear of their votes and unrest. If you are British and you question it, you must be far Right. This country is becoming unrecognisable.
We are the laughing stock of the world. The government is corrupt and does not care about the British people. Democracy does not exist and we have been Betrayed badly. Our laws go against the British people and protect the criminals and evil people coming into our country.
need leaders that arent connected with the elite orgs …………….. until we get that we are a toy for the rich
I love Richard Tice, he's for the British people, in fact I love all REFORM the only ones I'd put my trust in
The last two governments, and particularly, the present one, are the biggest threat to National Security this country has ever known. Two World Wars, the Cold War and many others,have had people in charge who have known what their first duty was to the British public was. Protection. The present bunch of DEI inserts we would surely hope were somehow somewhere, being investigated for their traitorous actions?
It's all good and proper, but we have the totally Lefty, civil service and the lawcourts who will scupper everything a Reform government tries to implement.
Rupert and Ben will sort it – IF we give them a chance….
Nigel can't be trusted and Richard us his spaniel….
Kid Starver's plan:
– Get local elections out of the way
– Let Scunthorpe issue fade from the headlines
– Backstab Scunthorpe steel workers
– Close Scunthorpe
– Sell site off on the cheap to property developers
– Go to press conference and waffle on about 'being committed to the future of British steel etc…'
Despite no jobs and people can no longer afford to live , people will be lining up to live off the government .Acquiring $61k weekly is indeed a blessing
We will be using oil lamps and candles SOON ed won't like that it means creating carbon?
Taking no white people is racist and discrimination what would happen if that was applied on Asian or colored people there would be uproar
What is Reform's Policy on deporting illegal migrants?
Reform 🎉
