Labour more ambitious for Tata Steel - Sir Keir Starmer
Sir Keir Starmer said Labour will be " more ambitious" than the Conservatives' plans for Tata steelworks in Port Talbot .
The UK government has promised Port Talbot £500m to move to greener steel, but it could see thousands lose their jobs.
The Labour Party leader said he wanted a " plan that preserves the jobs we've got".
He was on a visit to Port Talbot steelworks.
However Sir Keir did not deny that, once the steelworks transitions to green energy, there would be fewer people working there.
" My biggest concern at The Moment is that we have a plan that ends what we've got, has an impression of what we might have but hasn't done the hard yards of The Bridge between the two, " He Said .
In September the UK government announced extra investment for the Port Talbot steelworks for the installation of new electric arc furnaces.
At The Time Tata warned there would be a " transition period including potential deep restructuring" at The Plant .
Tata Steel employs about 8,000 people in the UK, 4,000 of those in Port Talbot .
Unions previously said The Move to the new less labour-intensive furnaces could lead to thousands of job losses.
" We would be more ambitious" He Said .
" We want to drive up the demand for steel. We need to go to clean power by 2030.
" That's going to require a lot more steel.
" We want to ensure there's a plan that preserves the jobs that we've got, The Experience that we've got.
" Combine that with a bridge to The Future so that The Future generation of josb is here as well. "
Asked if politicians should be honest and say there will be fewer people needed with green steel, He Said : " I think transition is always difficult because there's always anxiety about protecting the jobs that are already in existence. That is completely understandable. "
Sir Keir visited the steelworks with Labour First Minister Mark Drakeford , who did not speak to the media at The Event .
The UK Labour leader declined to answer whether he would commit to providing HS2 funding to the Welsh Government , or look at the Cardiff administration's funding model, following last week's announcement of.
Instead He Said a future UK Labour government would work with the Welsh Government " on a rules-based basis, so that we can co-ordinate".
