The UK’s biggest steelworks will cease production today after more than 100 years, leading to thousands of job losses across South Wales.
Blast Furnace 4 – the final furnace operating at Tata Steel’s plant in Port Talbot – will be fully shut down at about 5pm, with the last steel made late on Monday evening.

WHERE ARE WE GOING ? LOOKS LIKE THE ROYAL NATZI SATANIC FAMILY ARE DESTROYING OUR NATION EVEN MORE NOW WE AS A NATION NEED RISE AND HAVE A PRESIDENT AND REPUBLIC THEY HAVE STOLEN OUR ELECTION RIGHTS LOBBYED THERE DONKEY PUPPETS TO CARRY ON THEIR ENDLESS WARS AND MURDERING
What about the 500 million pounds the British government gave to tata steel
Rishi the Indian prime minister gave 500 mil to an Indian company who then took all the knowledge for themselves. Opened a new blast furnace just last week and promised us an arc furnace and a jobs guarante for a whopping 7 years. We've been fucked.
We need to make our own steel
Good
Can’t compete with the Chinese haha
Congrats to the brexit supporters on yet another victory 🎉
British economy flat lines more
Need this madness stopped with all that is happening in the world we need steel coal and oil to keep UK safe and labour gone from power
THE UK IS DONE 👎🏻🇬🇧
JOKE TINPOT PONCE COUNTRY👉🏻🏴
JOKE FINISHED UNION 👎🏻🇬🇧
🏴☮️🇪🇺
Britain's contribution to global warming is negligible in comparison to China and India and to transport steel by ship from these countries, cancels out any gains, as does the transporting of logs from north America by ship, in order to use electricity to convert this to wood pellets for power generation. . .totally stupid!! 😳
That’s all the government subsidies down the toilet 🚽. It would have been cheaper to have given all the workers £100,000 each and shut it down ten years ago
Did I hear cheering in India and China where new steel continues production…
Boo hoo, port talbot will lose 1000s of workers, Port Talbot town will suffer…. oh well, never mind. They didn't care when Llanwern in Newport was closing, they all sent messages on the coils. They did not care, nothing at all so why should anyone else care about Port Talbot?? I clearly don't care. Newport as never been the same since, and is still struggling, so Port Talbot can suffer just as Newport did. Karma!!!
Damn. Even our cockney accented friends are doing bad?
The consequences of ‘going green’ that nobody wanted to talk about.
Is it really such a good idea when thousands of workers up and down the UK will lose their jobs ?
£1 million a day losses. Tata isn't stupid. They're not Gona throw away that much money every day. Wake up people.
Russia 1, UK & Germany 0?
Didn’t the Brexiteers say that the Tata steelworks wouldn’t be affected after leaving the EU? Oh dear.
Uk balance of payment deficit is the second worst in the world it's know hopeless
What are we doing ????? this will be looked back on in
Century’s as sheer stupidity in the name of climate change which is has nothing to do with
Follow the money
Hooray 🎉
Find a job or look else where to live, uk is going back to the Stone Ages
Renewable energy……the next HS2 economic disaster.
the problem is employment laws private sector cant afford to employ people like the public sector, public sector have this vision every body is making money by letting them work from home 4 days a week and using every sick day available then sues their boss if they have hurt their finger then they complain when they cant get a skilled worker to do work on one of their houses , skilled trades are dying every body wants to make a fortune with a finger , britain has stopped producing and that means we will go backwards
The state of the nation 😡👎
Its not losing a million a day – shareholders in power & supplies wanted more greedy people like Sunak & Farage ( both want pensioners to spend more on power so they get a better dividend )
Tata closes our furnace but opens a new one in India 🤦♂️
Dying economy.
Great way to strengthen the economy 😂😂 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Meanwhile Tata is building a new steel works in India fired by coal but dont worry world the UK has stopped " climate change " by shutting down its steel plants and last coal fired power station.
This video interview with Steve Surtees is the second one in my series about Port Talbot and the end of primary steel making in South Wales, UK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6XtrRhvYYc
Oooorrr is it just Tata the Indian company moving production back 'home' and claiming its a carbon 🤷♂️
Meanwhile Starmer is wondering why no-one has a job. Skilled work is all gone, and entry level jobs get snapped up by immigrants. I litterally cant get a job riding uber eats bikes, because its way cheaper to let multiple immigrants (most of whom arent legal, only the account holder) run one account.
Sanctioning Russia gives great dividends.
not reallythe UKs biggest is it, it's indias biggest steelworks in the UK.
Today we sacrificed Port Talbot on the alter of climate change, Saint Greta will be celebrating. We are losing the ability to produce virgin steel needed for warships and submarines whilst Tata recently opened a plant that will produce more than double the CO2 than Port Talbot all I can say is cheers Keir and Co
I like how everyone is focusing on the ‘environmental’ part.. blaming that for the shutdown of the steel plant…. Not the $1,000,000 loss per day… couldn’t possibly be that lol
Fundamentally, the UK will lose more jobs than it gains in the switch to carbon free…🤔
Deindustrialization 101
Only 1 question …can we do 70 mph passed that jct now 😂

Hii
all planned decline. TATA will pull out
WW3 next year, so what do we do then ?
hahaha Putin is winning.
This country is only interested in services, not manufacturing on any level.
Just because the coal is getting burnt in another country to make steel doesn’t mean we are a more considerate country towards climate. Passing the buck springs to mind.
We are fouls. We are doomed.
Industrial self inflicted sabotage!
British people are obsessed with the 2nd world war, the 66 world cup, the royals and Blaming foreigners when Its the government doing over their own people
Labour, indeed 😂.
