available are from the uk government, the welsh government has minimal resources available to support the investment in the transition to green steel. the uk wide labourng in might be able to talk to tata steel to reverse the closure of the second blast furnace to continue steelmaking while we transition. the prime minister said the government has provided £500 million to support tata steel but let me bring up the idea of nationalisation. the welsh nationalists calling for that but do you support that? it is a red herring, the reality is investment and we need to make sure that comes from the government. the government could make sure, like the labour party indicated, that the large amount of money required for green steelmaking in the uk will take place but let's be honest. the uk government has decided there will be no longer a primary steel maker in the uk, they made the decision the only tgo country that will not make its own steel from raw materials. we will be recycling still effectively, the only t20 economy to do that and still are such a crucial element in the economy across the uk. we will suffer the hardships but all of the uk will lose its

all the labour party who should be fighting for the grafters are instead choking industry with their green noose. it's no longer about the welshn. it's about currying favour with eco elites and the davos crowd , a dizzy and flip davos crowd, a dizzy and flip flop that even houdini wouldn't be able to attempt and as for the tories, well, don't get us started on the labour in sheep's clothing . they've turned this clothing. they've turned this net zero folly into law , net zero folly into law, ignonng net zero folly into law, ignoring the devastation that it wreaks on places like port talbot. they parade their climate agenda like it's some noble crusade , but in reality noble crusade, but in reality it's a slow motion disaster. with port talbot the unwilling martyr. but here's the stinger, right as global tensions simmer from ukraine's fields to south china sea, brittle iron is now dismantling its own defences. key strategic industries such as meat and steel, were practically gift wrapping. those in industries and sending them to off coal guzzling giants like china and india , the tories and china and india, the tories and the l
