Steelworkers in Scunthorpe say they are optimistic about British Steel’s future, but warn they have “been let down before”.

One worker – Rachael – says: “I don’t want to feel relieved until it’s all sorted”.

The BBC was speaking to workers on Monday morning, days after an emergency parliamentary vote to save the plant.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the government had “no choice but to act”, after Chinese company Jingye, which bought British Steel in 2020, said it had been suffering financial losses of around £700,000 a day.
