“The Labour Party, who should be fighting for the grafters, are instead choking industry with their green noose,” Darren Grimes said on GB News’s Saturday Five following news that port Talbot’s steel mill will be closing down, leaving the UK the only developed nation unable to make steel from scrap.
Darren slammed commitments to Net Zero as the cause of the closure, saying: “You look at Port Talbot’s skyline, once the fiery heart of industry, now shivering under the icy gaze of Net Zero. This steel giant, once the pride of Britain, now feels the cold slap of betrayal.”

We need to stop voting for the main parties! We need reform, vote Reform👍
All that is being done is the tiny bit of CO2 released in South Wales will be released in India or China, and then even more will be released transporting the iron here by ship. Green fantasy anyway. Those poor steelworkers and their town are being sacrificed on the altar of Net Zero. It will make not a jot of difference to the climate! Drakeford will love it, he will say Wales has saved more Carbon (?) than any other part of UK
What industries! literally all of them are owned by foreign corporations. The U.K. was sold to big corporate a long time ago.
Yes
Well said darren,belinda and Alex 👏👏👏👏👏
I know that Butterworth is the required token ‘opposing point of view’ you have to bounce your messages off but please consider the listeners! Unable to bear his stupidity a moment longer, we just switch off. Can you really not find anyone more presentable and articulate to do the job?
*Is This The End Of British Steel?
ffs…
Agree wholeheartedly and I would include within 'defences' our armed forces with the concomitant materiel. Why is steel failing? Cost of the power! Darren is spot on – it is EVERYTHING to do wth net zero.
Well said Darren – so called educated people on your panel dont understand climate science
Yes, and that's the point.
LOL, I got a communist fear mongering add on this video!
Let's not back our Heavy Industry with subsidies let's stick 3,500 hard working people on Universal Credit instead yea great move Net Zero Politicians 😡 If you can't make Steel you can't make anything !
What a bunch of bollocks. Give thanks to Brexit you losers
They don't even consider what was said and argue against something that wasn't asked for
Remove the net zero climate agenda burdens on the industry and let them be competitive in the market
It was always the agenda to move industry to India and China where they don't have to meet self imposed arbitrary net zero rules.
Our nuclear submarines are built with French steel
A panel of people who's never done a real day's hard work in their entire lives, these clowns wouldn't know which end of a shovel to dig with …ffs Where's the big payout that was made to tata last year gone. Can the uk tax payers get the money back from tata
Fatuous sacrifice to the green (false) god! Economically unjustifiable. £680m to keep the blast furnaces going, saving 2800jobs OR £500m to change to much more expensive electrosteel, 2x the cost of our competitors: unsustainable NO? Depends on continuing supply of scrap steel when vehicles (EVs) changing to GRP and aluminium. No foresight here. Simply next phase in destroying our industrial economy and nation. We were the first to industrialise and will be the first to expire as an economic power. Pastoral neolithic paradise anyone (I baggy the best cave).
We can’t manage without steel so we’ll buy it off another country …so why stop ours? Madness. All for net zero! Dear God!
👍🇬🇧😊
This has nothing to do with net zero, poor Derran's understanding of the situation. Sunak handed over £500 M to his father-in-law to close it down. It also has to do with Brexit as well.
Fuck that….who wants to listen to this playground spat…?
Tata is shifting it's debt to Talbot Steel Works.
The industry should be renationalised and rationalised.
We must always have our own steel producing capabillity but not owned by an Indien tycoon speculator.
There is absolutely no empirical data to support the net zero. It's just a fake gIobaIist programme to control people.
Total green nonsense, we are damaging ourselves beyond reason, this ideology is pure idiocy
The two guys on each end are stnuc.
These are the type of people who still believe the NHS was the brainchild of Labour and it was a Thatcher policy which stopped milk in schools and closed all the pits.
Oi, Darren! Love your points, and how you're becoming the very voice of our generation. But you need to dress the part, mate, and not get yourself up like a freakin' Generation-Xer. Wearing a jacket with a dress shirt but no tie is soo 1990s! You should take a leaf from Konstantin's book, and Leo's, and wear your jackets over white or black T-shirts, with short or long sleeves. Then you'd look suave and up-to-date, and really sexy!
Yes, and that's the whole point.
Energy has been made too expensive by government taxes. Steel is essential and we must make it.
Im a fabricator welder, and i can tell you imported formed steel is awful and many sections out of square
Globalists are Destroying Britain!!😡😡
YES
Can GBN please return Master Butterworth to store. Well done Darren. And your colleague sitting on your right is absolutely correct in pointing out that it is the massive "climate tax" and preposterous "green" beaurocracy load that is making British industry unprofitable. Cut the "climate" crappery and rebuild a strong economy. Britain needs a strong primary iron and steel industry, ie one able to produce iron from ore and high-grade steel from the mined iron ore. Not just recycle scrap, which is all arc furnaces can do. And arc furnaces require huge inputs of electric power, much more than naff chinese solar panels or windmills can provide. "Green" infantile virtue posing is killing Britain and all western Europe.
"NATO have told us that we need to prepare ourselves for war."
"Great. What do we need to do first?"
"We need to make tanks, bullets and guns. Planes, bombs and missiles. Ships, submarines and lots of other stuff too."
"How do we do that?"
"We need to ramp up our production of "A" grade, top quality steel and we need tons and tons and tons of it."
"We can't do that?"
"Why not?"
"Our only remaining steel works is about to close down."
"We can buy it in."
"Nope. Most of the countries still making the steel we need, because they've not gone woke green and stopped it, are going to be our enemies."
"Oh! CRAP!!"
Red Sea is full of pirates !!
The cost to keep the green agenda is nullified by bringing everything from other coal fired countries !
Darren excels with flowery tantrums against the green agenda, but ignores the lower cost of transport for imported steel as against the cost of transport for the required quantity of imported iron ore and coal.
bet benjamin thinks the railways should be government run. but not steel apparently.
Darren Grimes??? Who listen to him apart from his mum??
