Government pledges £500 million to protect Tata steel jobs
Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch announced a £500 million support package for Tata Steel, emphasising its role in preserving skilled jobs in Wales.
Badenoch described the proposal as historic, highlighting its impact on protecting Welsh jobs and promoting the UK steel industry while boosting the national economy.
She said that without the investment “we would probably have seen the end of steel making, certainly in this part of the country, if not in the whole of the UK.” Report by Covellm.

Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has spoken out about the Tory donor racism row, describing the media's "relentless focus" on the controversy as "trivial." Frank Hester, one of the Conservative Party's top donors, allegedly said left-wing MP Diane Abbott "should be shot" at a private meeting in 2019. "I think this belief that we should not be able to move on and accept when someone has made an apology for historical comments and treat them as if they are contemporary is a problem," she added.
