🚨 4.3 billion. That's how much Germany are investing in green steel production, while our government combats the looming threats to our industry with - silence.
Government must back the steel industry now or we risk losing it forever.
#WeNeedOurSteel#BackItOrLoseIt
The government has promised to cut energy costs. Now we need them to deliver.
Our members want it, their families want it and our steel towns want it. @RishiSunak We Need It.
Stick to your promises and support our industry.

The Chancellor backs innovation so let's have the £200m contributed by steel producers and returned to UK Govt from the EU Research Fund for Steel and Coal to use to develop the steel technologies to drive future growth & move towards net zero. @UKSteel__@CommunityUnion
The steel industry is facing huge threats and without urgent government action to back our industry, the UK runs the risks of losing our proud industry. A crucial debate taking place in the Commons today 👇

This week I chaired a lively meeting of @SteelAPPG. We heard from experts @wmgwarwick about how Britain - including Port Talbot - can lead the way in green steel.
But this will only happen if UK Govt understand the urgent need to invest in green transition & step up to the plate
In my role as Chair of the All-Party Group on Steel I have written to Prime Minister Liz Truss, highlighting the vital role steel plays in our economy and asking her to set out her plans for a strong, competitive and sustainable British steel industry in the decades ahead.
🏗 Earlier this week I headed to the Advanced Steels Research Centre (ASRC) with @SKinnock to hear about the research and development that’s going into the securing the future of U.K. steel…

Huge thanks to @wmgwarwick for showing us cutting edge research & development that’s building the agility and competitiveness of the UK steel industry. You should be very proud, as your work directly supports high-skill steel jobs, decarbonisation and manufacturing resilience 👏
Heatwave feels like a breeze after visiting @CommunityUnion members at Liberty Speciality Steels in Stocksbridge 🥵
Steelworkers work in extreme temperatures all year round to make top quality steel for aviation, aerospace and other industries.

Great to join colleagues today for the re-launch of @UKSteel__ Charter.
Steel is *not* a sunset industry - it is a cornerstone for our present & future prosperity.
It is right - for our communities, our economy, & our net zero targets - that British projects use British steel.
Fantastic to join @CommunityUnion, @BritishvoltUK, @XLCC_UK, @SKinnock and @Lee4NED in Parliament today to celebrate the UK Steel Charter and the importance of steel to our economy, our environment and our communities.
A big thank you @UKSteel__@CommunityUnion and @BritishvoltUK for today's UK Steel Charter event which reinforced the need for a strong steel industry & for the Government to make, buy and sell more in Britain. Good for communities, our national security, jobs & hitting Net zero!
✍️ We’re pleased to have signed the @UKSteel__ Charter and join their relaunch event in Parliament today.
A sustainable supply of UK steel is vital to sectors such as #rail.
✅ Great to see support from across the House with @beisgovuk Minister @Lee4NED and @SKinnock.
