My thoughts on #britishsteel as 1) the @ukLabour Parliamentary Candidate for the constituency which contains one of the sites (Skinningrove) and 2) as a qualified solicitor - who spent 5 years specialising in European Competition Law at one of the top firms in the UK. 1/10 When 5k jobs are at directly at risk (& another 20k jobs in the supply chain affected) the Govt must do everything it can. #BritishSteel needs £30m. IPPR has calculated it collapsing would lead to £2.8bn in lost wages & cost the Govt £1.1bn in lost revenue and extra benefits 2/10
