British Steel's Future Uncertain Amidst Deadlocked Talks

Negotiations to secure the future of British Steel's Scunthorpe plant remain stalled, despite government intervention.

The Chinese owner, Jingye, and the UK government are currently in discussions to resolve the critical shortage of coking coal.

Production could cease within weeks if a resolution isn't reached promptly, potentially impacting over 2,700 jobs.

The possibility of government nationalization remains on the table as various parties consider the best possible way forward.
