A Reform government would allow coal mines to reopen in Wales to revive British steel-making, Nigel Farage will say today.
In a major speech, the Reform leader will put coal-mining at the centre of the party's plans for reopening the Port Talbot Steelworks if it wins Welsh elections next year.
He will accuse Labour of having 'betrayed Wales's great heritage' after the plant, once one of the world's largest, closed its last blast furnace last October.
It was a huge blow to the south Wales town, with at least 2,500 skilled, well-paid jobs being lost.
The owner, Tata, plans to build an electric-arc furnace, which is said to be greener.
