Brexiteers said leaving the EU was necessary to protect the steel industry. Port Talbot should invite the Brexiteers to the closing ceremony to look the workers in the eyes.

On the surface yes, what they really mean by net zero is "we got rid of the old machines and got newer more automated ones" The company gets to cut jobs it doesn't need and the government get to claim they are helping the environment. If they were just honest and said we are modernizing the plant we just don't need that many people anymore and the government invested some money to create new jobs it would be fine. Bu instead they make it about how green they are so they don't have to do any work. Soo much for leveling up.

Where is this just transition politicians like to often quote? Is there any plan for it at all or is there some sort of naive hope that all these workers can be redeployed to local well paying jobs if we just send them on a CV writing course? Contrast this with recent other reports saying we are falling well behind in decarbonising our energy supply (ie clean energy projects being started and commissioned). I'm willing to be we could get loads of new industries into placed like Port Talbot if the gov would wake up and smell the coffee and realise you cant just take livelihoods away without providing a sustainable alternative. Can we not make Wales a centre of excellence in composites manufacture or robotics or something. Where is the seed funding to make this happen?

So the steel workers have in effect, contributed to their own job losses though their taxes being used in the £500m that the Gov is giving to this foreign company to enable them to get rid of them. Utterly sickening. So 3000 Men and women loose their jobs in Wales, but more jobs are created elsewhere like China which is reported to open on average 2 coal fired power plants per day. These valleys and communities of south Wales will be decimated by this and become unrecognisable in years to come. The fall out and collateral damage caused by this senseless move will by immense. We still need virgin steel and will be totally reliant (yes again) on foreign supply and have no control over its cost. Just the same as when the mines were shut. This is history repeating itself. Government is a disgrace

And those plants won’t have the same emissions standards. There’s a balance between the loss of quality of life from industrial pollution and poverty and crime from a lack of jobs and industry. The bankers and middle managers that run the country aren’t interested in manufacturing or industry. Unfortunately. We will just import more steel that’s been made with a heavier cost to the environment and workers. Pat ourselves on the backs and pretend we don’t contribute to pollution or global warming.

too difficult for you kids eh ? Steel, as with many other of our industries, was nationalised in the 1960's and 70's. Under nationalisation they had no investment and so fell behind and became uncompetitive. Govt sold some of these back into private ownership, but the damage had already been done. Hence, Nationalisation killed off so many industries in the UK.@@beezergutler5488

@@trewjohn2001 A couple of points here then. 1) CBAM increases the cost of imports making them uncompetitive, thus making it easier for the domestic producer to control prices. 2) why do people care more about steelworkers jobs than dockers jobs? Because those dockers rely on imports. 3) As a country we rely on imports to allow us to be competitive to reexport manufactured products. 4) TATA has been run into the ground for decades, not least by undercutting their own market through the Steel Park in Wednesfield. The mess goes far beyond a bit of pollution. It needs a change of ownership, it needs the EAF, Wednesfield needs to go and imports need to be allowed to resume.

??? This has nothing to do with Brexit but Tata wanting to become greener which will cause job losses. These furnaces though won't be creating steel from scratch but instead recycling steel some which will be imported. Green steel is an oxymoron. Both sides of the political spectrum should agree that the blast furnaces should stay open not only for jobs but also UK strategic interests. The alternative is buying steel from China, India, USA, etc.. We should support our own steel industries. Again, nothing to do with Brexit.
