Farage: Keep China out of UK infrastructure

Nigel Farage says Chinese firms should have no role in UK infrastructure after ministers took control of British Steel.

The government acted over the weekend amid fears its Chinese owner planned to shut Scunthorpe’s furnaces.

Farage said China is “not a friend of ours” and warned the UK must “find alternatives” even if it means less investment.
