If we are to improve economic growth and self sufficiency in steel, then we have to do what Reform have said they would do.

The most efficient way of producing our own coking coal lies in Cumbria, at Woodhouse, which has already been considered and rejected (albeit on a technicality). But wherever one might dig a new mine, it would not be the mass employer that the mines of old once were.
Farage is not making a serious proposal. He is trying to tug the heart strings of communities with deep memories of life revolving around the mines. If you’re simping for him on this, you’re a fool.
