It has come at a somewhat inconvenient time for the government. Today the Euro Elections take place and Theresa May is close to breaking point and forced to resign as PM over her disastrous handling of Brexit.


The EU will shoulder much of the blame for the collapse of British Steel even if it's only a small factor in reality. Officially we should have left the EU back in March but had not because of the government's incompentence and failure at coming up with a deal.


Such a scenario will add fuel to the fire of the entire Brexit fiasco. I wouldn't be surprised if Scunthorpe will end up as the town where the highest percentage of voters have voted for the Brexit Party in retaliation against both the EU and the Westminster government.


On the other hand, if the government manages to save British Steel then they might receive some credit for doing so...
