Brexit is killing off British industry, France’s prime minister claimed in parliament on Tuesday.
Gabriel Attal said Britain leaving the EU was behind the closure of the “last blast furnaces” in Britain.
Earlier this month, Tata Steel confirmed that it would close the remaining two blast furnaces at the UK’s largest steelworks by the end of the year.
The plan will trigger the loss of up to 2,800 jobs at the Port Talbot site in South Wales.
France will go the same way and see its industry decline if it gives into the “sirens” of Marine Le Pen’s hard-Right National Rally (RN), Mr Attal added in comments he said would “pain” those who voted Leave in the 2016 referendum. » | Henry Samuel in Paris | Tuesday, January 30, 2024 [£]
