Minister: All options remain on the table over British Steel
Industry Minister Sarah Jones says the prime minister is “acting in the national interest” by recalling parliament on Saturday to create emergency legislation to grant government control of British Steel.
Both the Commons and the Lords will break from Easter recess for a highly unusual Saturday sitting to debate a Bill aimed at blocking the company's Chinese owners, Jingye, from closing blast furnaces at its Scunthorpe plant.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed that the U.S. is gearing up for 70 tariff negotiations with foreign governments following the Trump administration's sweeping overnight tariff hike. Speaking at the American Bankers Association, Bessent hinted these tariffs are a ceiling—unless countries retaliate. He warned nations not to pivot towards Beijing to replace lost U.S. trade. As Bessent cancels Easter plans, Washington braces for a diplomatic traffic jam, signaling a tense chapter in Trump’s hardline trade strategy, now supercharged with global economic consequences and increasing strategic pressure on allies.

In a powerful and emotional moment, 88-year-old Pope Francis made his first public appearance since battling a life-threatening case of pneumonia. Just two weeks after being discharged from Gemelli Hospital, the pontiff surprised thousands as he was wheeled through Saint Peter’s Square following a special mass dedicated to the sick. Despite doctors advising strict rest, Pope Francis chose to connect with the faithful, delivering a fragile yet moving message just ahead of Easter. Witness the resilience, faith, and spirit of a leader who refuses to stay silent in the face of adversity.

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.
