00:00What happened on Saturday with the recall of the house was sort of halfway towards where we need
00:04to be. You know, we all know that Jinge, the Chinese owners, to whom it should never have
00:10been sold, are bad faith actors, even stories of potential sabotage coming out. So we're in a
00:16somewhat ridiculous position at the moment where one minister, Jonathan Reynolds, appears to be
00:21in charge of what's left of the rest of the British steel industry. So yeah, nationalise it,
00:26make it secure, and then let's try to find a private business down the road to take it
00:32off our hands.
