News of a deal between the UK Government and Tata Steel should have brought relief to the workforce in Port Talbot, instead it has raised more questions, including for steelworkers living in Cardiff Central.

A deal narrowly focused on electric arc furnaces – rather than hydrogen, direct reduced iron and carbon capture – is deeply troubling because it means that Tata Steel will no longer be able to produce all the qualities and grades of steel needed to meet the demands of its customers, which in turn will result in thousands of unnecessary job losses.

While the Conservatives scramble around for last minute deals, Labour will make the long term investments needed to protect Welsh jobs.
