Jonathan Reynolds Has jokingly made Nigel Faraj To reopen coal mines in Wales, dubbing it “absolute parody”.
Business Secretary, whose grandfather was a coal miners, admitted that the reforms are UK Labor’s biggest opponent – But said that Mr. Faraj “fails to understand where we are from and what we represent, but also aspiration for the future”.
Speaking at a media lunch in Parliament, Mr. Reynolds also defended the UK plan Trade relations with AmericaSaying this: “We may have different thoughts but we have to join them”.
Their comments come after coming Mr. Faraj announced that his party wants to resume the blast furnace of Port Talbot and “Re-Industrial Wells”.
On a trip to South Wales, the Reforms UK leader said that the party’s long -term ambition is when it comes to power when traditional steelmaking and coal production resumes.
The speech came a year before the SenedD elections in May next year, where the party is looking at the abolition of 26 years of domination of Labor.
But Mr. Reynolds told reporters, “When I go to Wales to a person like Nigel Faraj and tell them, ‘I am going to open coal mines again’ and he thinks what the working class people want – this is a complete parody as if someone thinks people really want people.”
He said: “My grandfather was a coal miners, like everyone, where I grew up … It was a real responsibility and family pride.
“He had gone down from the mine fourteen years ago. He had a message for my father, and he was ‘don’t go under me’. And he became a fireman.
“This is a bit that our opponents do not understand: pride where we are and what we represent, but also aspiration for the future.”
Accepting that reform is currently the largest rival of labor, he said that the challenge faced by the government is to convince voters that “mainstream politics can distribute to them”.
Turning to the American trade deal, Mr. Reynolds said that Britain was able to have a conversation before other countries as Britain tried to understand the mentality of America.
He said, “This is not American politics that disrupts global trade. Thus global trade has disrupted American politics.” “We can have different ideas but we have to join them.”
The Business Secretary also narrated a phone call with his American counterpart Howard Hulkin, where he was worried that he was “going to sell NHS” due to a poor phone signal.
“Woodhead pass between South Yorkshire and Manchester is probably the only place in Britain with a mobile phone reception worse than working in Parliament….
“Howard begins to talk, but due to the reception, every fifth or sixth words are actually cut out of the signal.
“I’m really a little worried that I am going to sell f *** ING NHS due to Britain’s telecom infrastructure. I did not do. And I am happy to say that we were the first countries to get a deal.”
The deal, declared by Sir Kire Stmper and Donald Trump last month, will see the British tariff on steel and automotive exports to the US in exchange for some US goods access to some US goods.
But the deal is still not implemented, to take necessary steps to reduce tariffs with both Washington and London yet.
Mr. Reynolds stated that the UK is “ready to go” to implement the deal, but is waiting for the White House to finalize its behalf.
The trade secretary said that he was “highly expected” that the agreement would be applied “very soon”, but admitted that the conversation was not always “not easy”.
An reform UK spokesperson said: “Labor continues to continue our towns and communities across the country. When we lose thousands of well paid jobs in these important industries, they do not blink the eyelid.
“Labor does not only understand working people. Improvement will continue to call for Britain’s re -industrialization and with it, bring back thousands of well paid jobs.”
