WATCH: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage quizzed by GB News on cost of reopening blast furnaces

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is grilled by GB News reporter Adam Cherry on his plans to reopen blast furnaces in a bid to make Britain 'more self-sufficient', asking just how much the plan will cost.Farage responded: "I made it very, very clear. Reopening a blast furnace is no easy thing. This one has closed, that was the tragedy."Yes, it is a massive, expensive job to re-open blast furnaces. We're going to need cheaper energy, we're going to need much cheaper local coal, and we're going to need private business partners prepared to come into a joint venture with government to make it work. "Yes, it is going to cost billions to do it, and I'm not even pretending it'll be easy."WATCH ABOVE.
