When Keir Starmer announced the creation of a £10 billion AI datacentre at Blyth in Northumberland last year, it was with a promise that the site would bring 4,000 jobs to the north-east of England. For an ex-mining town, once home to two coal power stations, this was welcome news.

It’s almost a year since Keir Starmer’s Labour party won an electoral landslide by promising very little in a bid to appear sensible to swing voters.

“I worked for 22 years in the metals industry,” said Nigel Farage in April, commenting on the under-threat steelworks in Scunthorpe. “I’ve watched many of the firms that I used to deal with close or disappear.”That the Reform leader watched those disappearances from his desk as a metals trader in the city hasn’t stopped him putting his former career to good use as justification for turning up at British Steel’s flagship site to call for nationalisation of the steelmaker.
