Govt seek solution as Scunthorpe steelworks faces closure

There are concerns British Steel could run out of raw materials within days, raising fears over whether blast furnaces can keep running.

The business, owned by Chinese company Jingye, has announced plans to shut Britain’s remaining two blast furnaces in Scunthorpe.

Minister clashes with Badenoch over steel deal claim

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds says the Conservative leader is wrong to say she had negotiated a modernisation plan with British Steel for electric arc furnaces at Teesside and Scunthorpe. Ms Badenoch posted on X on Friday saying as business secretary in the last Conservative government she had negotiated the proposal, but it was "bungled" by Labour. After intervening, Ms Badenoch says: "Labour cannot negotiate. We were negotiating a modernisation deal that would have had limited job losses, just like we had in Port Talbot”. Report by Blairm.
