This episode begins with Jemma trying to find things to cheer Marina up with. Funnily enough, learning that Gove is getting a peerage doesn't do it, but the song Dame Andrea Jenkins has chosen to promote her bid to be Mayor nearly does. Then we're off to Scunthorpe where Labour have been trying to ensure that the furnaces don't go out for once and for all on British Steel. China have decided they aren't interested in it anymore, which is a huge reason to be furious with Boris Johnson (another one) because he sold it to them. With thousands of jobs at stake, Marina and Jemma wonder what might or might not happen. Then to the States, where Trump has been sitting down with a kindred spirit, the President of El Salvador, Bukele who is he paying to take people he wishes to deport and to house them in his Gulag like prisons. Hear the incredible moment Trump was caught on mic saying he would like him to take 'homegrowns' too. If only that was the only grim piece of news to come out of his adminstration but sadly......cut to, the SAVE act. Marina gives the lowdown on a piece of legislation which is almost akin to Handmaids Tale and yet might result in a surprising plot twist.

All the main parties backed some form of state intervention to save the Scunthorpe steel plant. Does this rare consensus mark a new era of the active state? Plus, the wider implications of the refuse strike in Birmingham. And which of us refers most to Mrs Thatcher in the podcast? A listener has monitored every podcast to provide the answer.

Westminster was recalled last Saturday for and an emergency bill to save British Steel's Scunthorpe plant became law. It took around six and a half hours in total for Parliament to pass the legislation and the King to approve it.  Sir Keir Starmer said "We are acting to protect the jobs of thousands of workers, and all options are on the table to secure the future of the industry".We ask where was this urgency and commitment over Grangemouth, and Port Talbot steel works.Lesley questions the casual way every commentator accepts that energy prices in Britain are 50% higher than Germany and double the price of the United States. Ofgem has announced a change in the queuing regulations for wind and solar farms to eliminate so called "Zombie projects" and speed up the process of getting real projects up and running. Great news but have we been here before?Find Out Now has released results from an opinion poll carried out for The National  showing a rise in support for Scottish independence. We drill down into the poll and its potential significance.Ash Regan of Alba has issued a call for a cross party pro independence convention before next year's Holyrood elections. We look at the response from the SNP and the Greens.Meanwhile the Greens appear to be caught up in internecine conflict which doesn't seem to have been calmed down by its recent conference.The 15th of April is the 36th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster which saw 97 Liverpool football supporters losing their lives.Starmer promised that the Hillsborough Law would be enacted by today. What was in that draft law? What has stalled its progress? What does the failure tell us about this Labour government and Starmer?Pat is still recovering from the nerve shredding final round of The Masters golf in Augusta and his beloved Dundee United achieving a top 6 finish in their first season back in the top flight.

Panic has subsided over the British Steel crisis as Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, while visiting the site in Scunthorpe, confirmed that the raw materials needed to keep the furnaces running have been secured. While questions remain over the long-term future of the site, the Government are quite confident in their handling of the crisis so far – something not unhelpful with just over two weeks to go from the local elections. Less helpful is the news that over in Birmingham workers have rejected a pay deal with the Labour-run city council; the bin strike will continue. Is there more the government could be doing to end the dispute? Political editor Katy Balls and former Political Secretary to Tony Blair John McTernan join Patrick Gibbons to discuss.  Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

In this eye-opening episode of Mark and Pete, we tackle three hot-button topics shaping Britain's present and future. First, we dig into the Scunthorpe steel crisis, where the government's dramatic intervention to rescue British Steel marks a pivotal moment in UK industrial strategy and national sovereignty. Is this the return of meaningful statecraft, or just a sticking plaster on a rusty industry? Next, we explore the unsung hero of nutrition: choline. This vital brain-boosting nutrient is chronically overlooked in public health discussions, despite its growing importance in cognitive development, memory, and long-term mental health. We'll unpack the latest research, dietary sources, and why so few people—even health professionals—talk about it. Finally, we revisit the legacy of Sir Philip Green, once the high-street king, now a cautionary tale of corporate greed and moral failure. Should figures like Green face tougher consequences for business misdeeds, or is the system designed to protect them? Insightful, sharp, and never shy, Mark and Pete deliver commentary with both conscience and wit. Whether you're passionate about British industry, nutrition, or accountability, this episode has something for you.

After an emergency Saturday sitting of parliament, British Steel's Scunthorpe plant is now - to all intents and purposes - under government control.The Chinese owners Jingye were intending to shut down the site, with the potential loss of almost 3,000 jobs and an end to 160 years of steelmaking in the town, but under emergency legislation a new CEO has been appointed and the company will report directly to the government - with the race now on to secure the raw materials to stop the furnaces at the plant shutting down.With Nigel Farage accusing China of deliberately sabotaging the plant, Kamal Ahmed and Tim Stanley ask Reform's candidate for Mayor of Lincolnshire - Dame Andrea Jenykns - whether the party believes that China should be removed from key UK infrastructure projects.Plus, Kamal and Tim grill each other on how privileged they are, after details emerged in The Daily Telegraph of Westminster Council's internal test for staff as part of its efforts to combat unconscious bias against ethnic minorities.Read:How posh are you really?

Laura and Seán hold the fort today with a breakdown of the goings on in Parliament over the weekend, where Jonathan Reynolds seized control of British Steel in a bid to save jobs in Scunthorpe.Laura was in Kent with the Green Party on Saturday, and we take a look at what the party need to do to win votes from a Reform-curious electorate. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

British Steel's Scunthorpe steelworks are now effectively under government control after the business secretary said Chinese owner Jingye had decided to stop buying enough raw materials to keep the blast furnaces going. Jonathan Reynolds said the government took the action as steel "is vital for our national security". But with Chinese companies owning hundreds of billions of pounds worth of infrastructure assets throughout the UK, do they have too much influence on the UK's critical industries?  On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to business correspondent Paul Kelso about nationalising British Steel, Chinese investment in the UK economy and whether the government can ultimately keep the lights in the furnaces on. The Sky News Daily has approached Jingye for comment. 

On Nick Ferrari at Breakfast, The government use emergency powers to stop Scunthorpe's blast furnaces shutting down. Nick talks to Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury James Murray. MPs find no evidence of 'two-tier policing' in summer riots response.

It's the Monday after a dramatic weekend in the House of Commons and Sam and Anne are here to bring you up to speed on the race to keep the furnaces on at the British Steel plant in Scunthorpe.  So what happens now after emergency legislation was passed on Saturday to give the government control of the plant and stop its Chinese owners from shutting it off?  And does the UK have a future as a serious manufacturing country?  Also, a new report from MPs hits back at claims of "two-tier policing" during last summer's riots - calling them "disgraceful".  

The UK Government has saved the troubled British Steel Company. It will mean a steel mill in Scunthorpe will be saved after negotiations with its Chinese owners reportedly broke down. The bill gives the UK Business Secretary the control of the company and the right to use police powers if necessary to ensure workers are paid. UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner says the raw materials to keep the mill running have been paid for.

Parliament approves bill to help save British Steel's Scunthorpe plant

Sean Curran and the team report as MPs and peers meet for a rare Saturday sitting to rush through a new law ministers hope will enable them to save British Steel's Scunthorpe plant.

In a dramatic turn of events, parliament has been recalled for MPs to discuss the future of British Steel. In Scunthorpe, some 2,700 jobs hang in the balance after the Chinese owner of the steel works said its blast furnaces are "no longer financially sustainable".Thousands more jobs in the supply chain are also at risk - steel runs through the heart of Scunthorpe. Earlier this week, Keir Starmer declared that we have entered a "changing and completely new world" and promised to "rewire the state completely".Does this mark the end of the era of globalisation? Could we see a more active state, stepping in to take control of vital national industries? And if so, how does that tally with the PM's remarks to The News Agents, just last month, that he wanted to see a smaller and more agile state?Lewis has been in Scunthorpe for this special report of a town on the brink, a strategy, perhaps, turned on its head, and what it all means for Britain's industry, its people and its politics.This special report was produced by Louis Degenhardt and Rory Symon.Don't forget you can also subscribe to our other News Agents podcasts via the link below:https://linktr.ee/thenewsagentsThe News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

At the precise moment Donald Trump was “pausing” his tariffs policy, his own trade negotiator was trying to explain to Congress who knew what when. Did those around Trump have prior knowledge, and take the opportunity to invest? Or did he leave his own team in the dark? Trump has tried to style his climb down as a win. But the soaring response of the stock markets suggest they think the tariffs trauma is now done. Has Trump boxed himself in? And will anyone believe him next time? Later, Trump's revengeathon is alive and kicking. He's now investigating two former officials for 'treason'. Because they dared criticise him and tell the truth about the 2020 election. And Lewis is in Scunthorpe ahead of that decision on British steel.Don't forget you can also subscribe to our other News Agents podcasts via the link below:https://linktr.ee/thenewsagentsThe News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Last year Scunthorpe's two blast furnaces Queen Anne and Queen Bess became the last remaining primary steelmaking facility in the UK. However there were reports that those facilities were soon to be mothballed - 2,500 jobs lost before Christmas.
