Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is grilled by GB News reporter Adam Cherry on his plans to reopen blast furnaces in a bid to make Britain 'more self-sufficient', asking just how much the plan will cost.
Farage responded: "I made it very, very clear. Reopening a blast furnace is no easy thing. This one has closed, that was the tragedy.
"Yes, it is a massive, expensive job to re-open blast furnaces. We're going to need cheaper energy, we're going to need much cheaper local coal, and we're going to need private business partners prepared to come into a joint venture with government to make it work.
"Yes, it is going to cost billions to do it, and I'm not even pretending it'll be easy."
