Tata Steel confirms plans to close furnaces at Port Talbot | ITV News 

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.

They forced Tata steel to go net zero.

brtishers blamming it on india wow your failed policy has let this happen there is no cheap energy and more on brexit you want russia war you want sanctions dont cry wound would be on both side

Still not mentioning Brexit are they? 🤣

Oh dear India investing with China now 😢

Very sad story this whole situation with people loosing their jobs in deprived areas .been happening years and government wonders why lots of people on benefit

What has gone wrong with briton it was once great

I bet Port Talbot will be greener from now on. Brexit brought clear air at least.

Wales ‚20miles 😂😂😂😂 per hour welcome to the net zero

Tata then, more unemployment!

Forced A Company for Net Zero and to invest Billions...I mean Business management are not bunch of fools...They will take action eventually 😂😂😂😂😂

End Net Zero!

Really is tata steel... but seriously wish the employees well and sucess with getting new work!

prime minister must make solution for the closer,bussinesman invest money to earn money not waste money,,there is capital investment issue.

All because of this stupid net zero.

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

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?

If you import cheap steel from Europe then what you expect

You gonna blame immigrants or corporate greed due to capitalist governments?

What else you expect from net zero government is out of mind.

You cannot run a modern economy on expensive energy.

Thank You Jeremy Corbyn and Labour

You can thank the conservative and labour government's we've had over the last thirty years???

They'll get clean and fresh air at the cost of losing their jobs🤦🏼

He feels like his future has gone 😂 no working class man has a future different to the other man working next to him, work, miserable wife and snotty kids.

I belive Tata must come out with Something and save those 3,ooo job because time is bit Hard and even the British Government must impose huge senction on imported steel that only can save these Jobs

Islamic republic of Britain 😂😂😂

probably stage coach drivers said the same thing when the steam train was invented ? Nationalisation has brought this upon these people, as governments spend money on hospitals and houses etc, not steel mills and blast furnaces !!! Hence my friend, "nationalisation" has left you in the position of stage-coach driver, while the rest of the world has moved on to steam.

Greener. Right. Mass starvation is also “greener”.

British heavy industry doesn't exist anymore. We have lost it to China.....Oh, and just to remind everyone, China are in the process of building a chain of coal fired power stations. This is devastating for the town of Port Talbot, for South Wales and the UK. Britain's net zero policy is already one of the lowest in the western World. Sunak and his his Indian pals are trying to have their way... but it won't end well.

If tata is cutting of business seriously something wrong is going on with country and the indigenous people on general. In India Tata is akin to a Government job with Corporate benefits.

i think its great fress air

Very good move Tata

No doubt rushi and his billionaire family have massive investments in the Indian owned tata and have helped push this through why else would the uk government give a company £500 million investment for them to get rid of half the workforce

Go woke go broke... feel the brexit yet ?

British crying 😂😂😂😂

British people should vote for rejoining Brexit

Don't worry, Tata will import low quality Indian steel to replace the shut down plant

Nationalise port talbot

All we are doing is outsourcing pollution. Production will move to countries with even lower emissions standards and worker safety. The same volume of steel will be produced. Do you want to live in an area with jobs and slightly elevated levels of pollution - or squeaky clean air but poverty and crime.

Net zero isnt great init

Sunak was such a clown 🤡

Indian unelected prime minister, Indian owned so called British steel company. Shut down your own pits providing specialist coking coal , sell off your power generating companies to the French ,Germans ,Spanish , introduce draconian rules and regulations called net zero . What could possibly go wrong ,apart from the decimation of the last remnants of your industrial base . Still we can import the steel from India manufactured in the three new blast furnaces just coming onto line .

Well colour me surprised NOT

this net zero is totally zero and bs !!!!!!

Army need troops
