stephen kinnock is the shadow ministerfor immigration and labour. he's been giving his reaction to the prime minister's comments. the prime minister's performance at the press conference today was bizarre. very difficult to see what the point of that press conference really was. he is a weak prime minister leading a deeply divided party. we have seen shambolic warring factions in the conservative party over the last two days on the rwanda bill. what they should be doing is committing to labour's plan to really work with european partners to have a security partnership that will go after the current criminal gangs, after the criminal gangs, upstream, sharing data, breaking their business model. and rolling up their sleeves and having some hard graft and common sense rather than these headline—chasing gimmicks like the rwanda policy. what do you think of the constitutional issue of the prime minister effectively lecturing the lords about what they should do and urging them not to critique government policy? the prime minister's comments on that were b

joining me now is the local mp, stephen kinnock. how are people feeling this morning?ry disappointed. we know that the multi—unions have put a plan on the table which was a compelling plan that would enable us to keep one of the blast furnaces open whilst building an electric furnace which would have given us a bridge to the future we want to have rather than this cliff edge which is going to potentially lead to up to 3000 job losses and remove the ability of the united kingdom to make its own steel. we would be the only country in the g20 not able to do that. so we urge tata steel to get back around the table with the trade unions and to look at this again. tata steel say they need to move to a greener way of operating in the uk government is helping them, giving the money, helping to move to that electric arc furnace. do you think they shouldn't be doing that, do you think they should be doing something different? ., ,., , , think they should be doing something different? ., , , , , different? nobody here is burying their heads in _ different? nobody here is burying

. —— stephen kinnock., our business correspondent who gave us an update. well, the meetings been taking place in the hoteljust behind me over the past couple of hours between tata steel group's senior management and members of the three unions that are concerned with this, which is community, unite and the gmb. now, my understanding is that tata came to that meeting determined to push ahead with its existing plan, which is to shut down both blast furnaces at port talbot. there are two of them, in order to start construction on an electric arc furnace, a new generation of furnace, which is cleaner to run, which is cheaper to run, but which can only be used to make steel out of recycled steel. so you can't make new steel out of it. now, the unions were very much opposed to this plan because it will mean substantialjob losses. and my understanding is that those jobs will start to go around april next year with more to follow in september. now, all of this, it's a quite elaborate plan, and it does mean that po

stephen kinnock, labour mp for aberavon, home of the port talbot steelworks, said the move would meanoming more dependent on imported steel. live now to theo leggett, our business correspondent. he is in our london newsroom and outside that meeting earlier today in central london. theo, bring us up—to—date on what more we know. basically, this should not come as much of a surprise, because tata had set its stall at several uns ago. what it wanted to do was invest in new steel production at port talbot, installing analogic arc furnace, a modern type of furnace that is cheaper to run and less polluting than the old—style blast furnaces that are there at the moment, but this did come with a catch. the blast furnaces and all the facilities that were required to operate them, like the fuelling plants and so on, employ a large number of people. replacing them with this electric arc furnace means there will be fewerjobs needed. that was always on the card, the debate has been over how quickly this kind of transformation happens, and it is a transfer may incidentally that is being funded in p
