Farage Port Talbot call 'more lies from chancer'

Nigel Farage's calls for Port Talbot's blast furnaces to be reopened are 'more lies from an opportunistic chancer', GMB union has said.

Ruth Brady, GMB Regional Secretary, said:

“The people of Port Talbot will see this for what it is: more lies from this opportunistic chancer.

“Nigel Farage was happy to let British Steel go to the wall. 

"He'll trot out any line when the cameras are rolling. He doesn’t care about steel communities or steel workers.

“The deal to shut the blast furnaces was signed and sealed by the last Tory government.

“With the opportunities offered by floating offshore wind and the industrial clusters strategy, it’s now time for the Labour government to make good on their promises to our members in Port Talbot.

“We’ll be watching the spending review this week closely.”
