Headline: Tata Steel Expected To Confirm Plans To Close Furnaces At UK Plant

Caption: Labour and Co-operative politician Vaughan Gething talking outside Tata Steel. 'It’s obviously extraordinarily disappointing to have the formal proposals announced today.' 'Actually it’s even worse if you are a steel worker or live in these communities.' 'These are well paid jobs and the extraordinary level of job losses that are being proposed will have a real impact on how people see this community and their level of hope for the future.' ' We know that there are at least three jobs in the local economy that are dependent on the steelworks here for every one that is lost, so we have carried on making the case for a different level of investment, for a different future.' 'The best steel for steel, not the cheapest steel for steel.' 'That’s what we are arguing for, and I’ve asked the company not to make any irreversible choices based on the current level of support from the current UK government.'
