      From the article:

      The Reform leader announced his desire with a wave of fanfare – but was unable to say how he would achieve it. Mr Farage admitted he would need the help of central government and private businesses, and conceded it would cost billions of pounds.

      Stephen Kinnock, whose Aberafan Maesteg constituency includes Port Talbot, pointed to a 2023 tweet by the Reform leader – when he said: “British Steel should never have been sold to the Chinese. Why should the government bail out the company now?”

      Mr Kinnock said: “Not long ago Farage was calling for a steelworks in England to go under, and now he expects us to believe he would reopen blast furnaces – an operation that no one with any proper knowledge of steelmaking thinks is credible.”

      He’s worth millions I’m surprised he needs to supplement his income selling PCP

      When Farage talks about tax cuts and nationalising industry consider how sceptical you’d be if you replaced Farage with Corbyn.

      You can slap him down all you want, the dum dums will still vote for him as soon as he shakes the shiny set of keys in front of them.

      Fancy having such low faith in the Welsh economy that he advocates for the reopenings of coal mines in Wales.

      What a twit.

      It’s not really a slapping-down when a political opponent says “nuhuh”.  ‘Nigel Farage disgreed with by Labour MP’ would be a better headline.

      It would always surprise me how Welsh and Scottish would vote for English nationalists lol

      Yes there are uneducated kunts everywhere so we should ensure we show up in elections and vote against them.

      How bad is the economy when fairy dust is coal dust?!

      Edit: I made this joke before reading the article, I thought this about a different policy of opening the coal mines in Wales again. I enjoy the joke though and can’t work out how to make it steel related so I’m leaving it

      Who slapped him down ? Makes a change from people getting slammed I guess.

      They really need to clamp down on MPs having side hustles, at least those involving anaesthetic hallucinogens.

      Reform are an English nationalist party, if they win in Wales, we should be so ashamed.

      Slapping an old man for selling drugs? Dirty conservative sheep lovers.

      /s for the slow.

      They’re literally removing the infrastructure the furnaces need, now. They are selling the land off, now. It’s too late, even if it was viable (it isn’t).

      Port Talbot should benefit hugely in future years from the industrial strategy. Floating wind, the Freeport and remediated land at Tata is all being developed now.

      If people fall for this nonsense, then they deserve everything that’ll come to them.

      Don’t worry, a few more positive stories about them on the BBC will help that.
