The pace of closure of UK manufacturing is alarming.
I asked a question of the government who told me in 2025 alone there were 12,510 closures of industrial companies. They were unable to tell me how many closures there were affecting more than 200 employees.
The ONS Inter departmental business register shows a 4.5 per cent decline in manufacturing companies between 2023 and 2025, and a 12 per cent decline in transport and storage companies. These are not the same figures, and can conceal some mergers as well as closures. They do however illustrate the same worrying decline. The UK is making less in many areas.
There have been some very large closures, with two refineries, a fibreglass plant, ceramics factories and some large chemical plants shutting down. These general figures reveal the wider trend. The UK is no longer competitive for many types of manufacturing for companies of all sizes.
Why doesn’t the government do more than express short term concern and promise help for people who need to retrain and try to find a new job? Why isn’t it angry or worried about the de industrialisation of the UK? Why is a party that is called Labour and has a great past tradition of standing up for workers in industrial settings so unwilling to engage and to find a solution to the mass retreat from making materials and finished products in the UK?
The main reason is Ministers are in the grip of the demon ideology of net zero extremism. They believe in the self-harming policy responses that Minister Miliband embodies. They say UK factories have to be shut to stop them creating CO2 as they burn gas or use fossil fuel feedstocks. Instead we must import these goods, leaving our home produced CO2 figures down. It means boosting world CO2 figures, usually by more than the UK saving. How can they defend this madness?
This crazy philosophy leads to the UK having the dearest energy prices in the advanced world, with government quietly rejoicing that will accelerate our ending of fossil fuel use at home. Government goes out of its way to make fossil fuels dearer, with a carbon tax, emissions trading, super taxes on oil and gas profits, VAT, fuel duty and range of charges to milk and punish the user of gas and oil and their derivatives.
The policy makes no contribution to cutting world CO2, but it does do untold harm to the UK economy and workforce. The government loses the tax revenue on production workers, and has to pay benefits and compensation to those losing their jobs as the closures take place. It loses profits tax on the closing businesses, and loses a range of tax revenues as higher unemployment leaves communities with less spending power to use on shopping and services.
The government’s economic policy is marred badly by the relentless upwards march in unemployment. It adds to the economic damage, forcing the Chancellor to impose yet more taxes to pay for the lost revenue and the higher benefit costs from closures. This creates a vicious spiral. New and higher taxes lead to more energetic and hardworking people, and more people with money to invest, going abroad to escape the tax raids. They lead to more businesses strapped for cash, paying less profits tax or in turn closing down.
The government adds to the agony by imposing bans on fossil fuel related activity. Companies cannot drill to find more oil and gas, hitting the domestic oil supply industry. Soon companies will not be able to make and sell diesel and petrol cars here, leading to the closure of all factories and production lines doing that. Ministers may be cheering the end of car plants, plastic factories, refineries and petro chemical works, but the rest of us rue the day and sympathise with all those losing their jobs.
All of this is avoidable. If the government lifted the bans on oil, gas and petrol car making there would be more jobs and investment here and fewer imports. World CO2 would go down a little, not up. If the government scrapped carbon taxes and emissions trading a lot of closures would be averted. If the government cut the excessive rates of domestic tax on producing oil and gas, we would have more of them and more investment, reducing imports. Why pay the tax to foreign governments for the imports when you could get that revenue here at home if you charged sensible rates of tax?
Whenever I recommend more use of home gas and less of imports critics falsely allege I am in the pay of the big oil companies.
Let me reassure you. I am not and have never been in receipt of payments from oil companies. If I had I would have declared it. They say this as they have no good argument to counter my case. They simply ignore the harm they are doing to existing firms and jobs, and refuse to engage with their mad carbon accounting system which forces us to close and import instead. Then they fly off to their next conference to condemn the oil industry that supplied their jet fuel.
The best the net zero extremists argue is we are creating lots of green jobs. I agree they are in China, who make most of the solar panels, larger batteries and wind turbines, and in parts of the world with the materials to mine and smelt into the special materials needed for battery production. Clearly in the Uk we are destroying a lot more jobs than we create, as we see in surging unemployment.
The government’s passion to import from China and the EU visible in so many of their policies underlies much of their unpopularity. They ruthlessly intervene to stop or harm the UK manufacturers. The public grasps that you cannot go on increasing your imports, as you run out of money to pay for them. If you do not make enough here and employ enough people here you have a poorer and more miserable community. We need sensible tax policies that increase revenues through growth, and import substitution policies to help home production.

“The main reason is Ministers are in the grip of the demon ideology of net zero extremism.”
Why? Because they are delivering UN Agenda 21 and UN Agenda 2030. They are working in the interests of the Globalist power-brokers in the WEF and are aligning us with the EU in order to create an integrated and inter-connected energy supply.
It’s not just the current Ministers who are in the grip of the demon ideology of Net Zero extremism, so were Ministers in the CONservative Governments, the Civil Service, the Eco Quangocracy, the BBC and ALL the Charity-Quangos.

Even now Kemi, Coutinho and other Conservative MPs still talk about Climate Change (it always has and always will), “clean energy” (there is nothing dirty about CO2 and “renewable energy” there is no such thing some last longer than others non actually renew look up entropy. They also need loads of fossil fuels to build and maintain the collecting devices.
They come from nuclear fusion on the Sun – wind, wave, solar, nuclear in the Earth core – geothermal, the earth/moon rotational energy – tidal.
The sensible thing to do is to use the fossil fuels we have and use the vast money saved to develop better nuclear and controlled fusion. Allow fair competition between energy sources, cars etc. Ditch subsidies and market rigging.
Note a system based on wind and solar needs about 180 times as much grid wiring as so many more things to connect up and usually only producing a 20% average.

You have to be foolish or deluding yourself to believe the net zero claims. Not all of our establishment is in those categories, so something else is going on. I imagine it is the usual: money being made, power being consolidated.
Logical argument for the common good doesn’t work against these motivations. It’s still useful though, to counter the lies that befuddle some people.
April 24, 2026
Yet still you only focus on the effects of Net Zero and do not explicitly condemn the lack of true science to support it. That is, that attribution of weather events to fossil fuel use, and computer modelling of aspects of the climate, do not constitute scientific evidence.

The total human used energy coming from solar and wind in the UK is only about 8% and to produce this 8% we need about 4% more fossil fuels to collect, connect and back it up. Plus the UK is only .8% of man made CO2 and 96% of CO2 is not even man made.
Also we have only had ice at the poles for less than 25% of the total life of the earth.
For the rest we had non!

It is all very worrying for our future My Lord – an act of self immolation I’m afraid.
We seem to have a whole generation of young people brainwashed into believing so many things that are simply contary to common sense. It’s not hard to find them these days…
“Britiain is extremely wealthy and can afford to send vast sums of money abroad” (in aid or compensation), even though we are up to our necks in debt. Not a problem of course, because it’s fine to just print more money. “Everyone knows that managing a Nations finances is completely different” to managing your personal or commercial finance – because Nations can never go bust can they?
“Everyone in the world is a Citizen of that World and therefore borders should not exist”. Those poor people who lost the lottery of life by being born in the wrong place or the wrong time should all be supported and made welcome if they wish to come here. After all, the more we are, the better off we will all be. If there are not enough houses or hospitals, then just build more, because (after all) we are a “rich nation”.
As for our own unforunates, well “the rich can afford to support the poor”, except the really rich are multinational and mobile. What “rich” really means are those poor folk caught in the middle (who we used to call Middle Class) people who earn a decent salary but who have ties to this country through family or just simple loyalty. However these selfish people need to undertand that they have to work hard to support their less privileged fellow citizens and any other ‘world’ citizen who might wash up here it seems.
And so it goes on…and on. Net Zero and all the rest of this nonsense the Left has so successfully infected our children’s minds with.

Aspects of the Long “March” Under Blair
Cultural Shift: Critics and analysts suggest the “long march” (a concept derived from German activist Rudi Dutschke,) is how modern left-wing ideologies shape narratives, and some saw this in the “New Labour” push to redefine British cultural identity.
Institutional Influence: The strategy involved taking over or influencing institutions that shape, such as education, media, and bureaucracy.
Social and Political Changes: His government oversaw massive reforms in UK law, such as the Human Rights Act and constitutional changes like devolution, which altered the power structure of the nation.
Public Sector Reform: Blair’s government, in continuation of Conservative efforts under John Major, utilized target-driven management (e.g., in schools and the NHS) to force change from the top down.

The UK Parliament that ‘owns’ this direction is incapable of thought. Well meaning virtual signals maybe are for elections, but hard earned money ‘created’ from having things to sell, and selling to other domains, is the provider in every instance – the only provider.
There is a dumb notion that the so-called service industry can fill in the blanks. An industry that serves no boarders, that resides in the cheapest tax domains and an industry that is ‘instantly’ replaced with LLM’s and databanks. How ‘dumb’ is the UK Parliament? They own malicious destruction, as if they are they are the ones dropping ‘A’ bombs on the country – no on else is creating this distruction
That’s were a Parliament stuffed full of political religious ideologues gets to destroy a Nation and its People – it has no ability to think, think beyond the next election, think about the real hard costs of their ‘virtual signalling’ in real terms. This UK Parliament has placed personal, very personal ideology above ‘common sense’ They have created a legacy of deliberate malicious destruction.
April 24, 2026
Just think about it, more that 50% of this UK Parliament supports Ed Milibands personal vindictive destruction of the UK and its People. They support his malicious punitive costs against their own electorate, the ones they pretend to represent. They support the very removal of the survival of their constituents whose lives and livelihoods are being undermined by his(EM’s) personal religious costly mission that no other mortal on this Planet is having to seemingly endure.
They all thought money from ‘taxes’ is without costs, They all forgot their purpose – do we need any of them any more?
April 24, 2026
John, all of us who have made our living in the Private Sector know energy is a prime cost driver and should be reduced at every opportunity. This government and the past Tory governments from Cameron onward are doing the exact opposite of that.
They have knowingly decided to increase the cost of energy. They have done this via taxation and by legislation banning the extraction of low cost energy here in the UK.
The International fixation with Net Zero is predicated on the view that CO2 is harmful to the world’s climate. There is no evidence to back that concern up scientifically none whatsoever. This government in particular is fixated with ‘International Law’ claiming it is that we must always be driven by. That is the biggest mistake Starmer and Labour are involved in (forget Mandelson a mere side show). We are on a course towards economic crisis and debt with the current Net Zero policies, Miliband is a zealot working for a boss who is an International law focused PM. The pair are a security risk and a national threat to our survival.
How do we get rid of them?
April 24, 2026
@Rod. The only realistic option we have is to vote tactically for whichever Party is less enthusiastic for net zero, and has a good chance of taking your local seat.
Even that option may be denied us, in a few years’ time.
April 24, 2026
Net Zero is crass stupidity, CO2 is a beneficial gas and no problem at all to the world climate. 20 years ago, it seemed climate change could be a problem. But in the last twenty years, plenty of books have been published showing what nonsense climate change is. Climate change is the greatest con job on humanity that there has ever been. Miliband’s madness will destroy the UK economy, and we have around 630 MPs who are too lazy to educate themselves and demand that this nonsense ends.
Who decided to make it a key policy for the UK? Conservatives are as guilty as Labour, but Labour is even worse!
We need a referendum on Climate Change/ Net Zero so the fanatics are forced to justify and defend the policy and declare the true cost. But it won’t happen because they would be shown up for the idiots they are!

Like JR and many, I am very concerned for our disappearing manufacturing base and our economy. Unfortunately by their actions we have a government that is deliberately choosing policies that seriously undermine our country on every front, and use things like (the nonsense of) net zero as a smoke screen. I’m afraid our governments have been going down this path for 30 years – but now it is with a vengeance.

April 24, 2026
Everything you say, Lord John, is correct. But you will not win the argument using economics when the Net Zero supporters claim that any cost is acceptable to save the planet, as Ed Miliband did again earlier this week. They know full well that their CAGW claim is a lie and have devised their Net Zero “solution” to sabotage our energy and hence destroy our industry and democracy and finally our national security. If this carnage is to be halted before it is too late we need to start to combat the false belief that anthropogenic CO2 is a pollutant controlling the planet’s temperature. Anyone can use their favourite internet search engine to check that over the last 500m years there has been no correlation between temperature and the level of CO2 except for the last 450,000 years, when both have been exceptionally low, and then CO2 is seen to be following temperature as recorded by the Antarctic Vostok ice core data. This is simply because CO2 dissolves more in cold water. Water vapour is a far bigger greenhouse gas than CO2 since it absorbs far more of the heat energy emitted by the planet than CO2 and is 10 to 100 times more prevalent in the atmosphere than CO2. It is water vapour that makes our planet habitable by increasing the temperature by 33 degrees C and by finally sending the sun’s incoming energy to space. CO2 plays only a very minor part in this process but more importantly provides the food for plants and hence all life on earth to exist. Zeroing CO2 is suicide.
Reply Fine, you do that. So far the wins have been made by arguing it my way, as with the Sunak oil and gas policy reversal and the partial oil and gas reversal underway at last from Starmer/ Reeves
April 24, 2026
Reply to Reply: Many thanks for your reply, Lord John. I know you have won some battles using the economics argument because the economic case is so huge and obvious. But without tackling the basic lie and the dishonest propaganda the war will eventually be lost.
April 25, 2026
Furthermore, there is more than enough CO2 to absorb all the radiation that falls within its infrared absorption bands (from the sun at high altitudes and black body radiation from the earth at low altitudes – visible light is absorbed by the earth’s surface and re-emitted as infrared). So adding more CO2 makes no difference. CO2 both transfers radiation into heat into the atmosphere and reversibly re-emits heat energy as radiation, and by this reversible action transfers some of the heat near the earth up to the higher atmosphere (and eventually back into space). This action is partly responsible for cooling the atmosphere at night, when there is no incoming radiation from the sun to outweigh the cooling effect. Likewise with water vapour, which as you say is more abundant and a stronger transfer agent.
I agree the economic argument is more effective politically – though the zealots even choose to ignore the obvious points about transferring carbon usage and jobs to other countries where standards are lower.

“Why is a party that is called Labour and has a great past tradition of standing up for workers in industrial settings so unwilling to engage and to find a solution to the mass retreat from making materials and finished products in the UK?”
I think it has been clear for some time that the Labour Party no longer supports “the workers”. The mystery could be why the unions still support the Labour Party and Net Zero. But of course they are run by Marxists just as is the Labour Party and socialsim depends upon making and keeping people poor.

Good summary –
Because they don’t care – they know they are doing the right things, and if we end up as a country with no abilities, no employment, well that’s tough – they have their mission.

It will mean no investment in the UK, most of us well below the poverty line, and no national spirit, no new homes, just oppression from HMG as they ratchet up the torture and come down hard on protestors.
All of this insane religious policy is going to cause tremendous harm – they know it but are not prepared to stop it or reduce the possibility of many people dying as a result. The cruel reality of this religion is that it doesn’t even have a real God behind it.

I see a couple of angles re your manufacturing message (which I agree with), namely:
i) the position is now sufficiently apparent that it should be straightforward for at least one party (hopefully, the Tories) at the next General Election to explain a) the benefits of manufacturing (even more so in a geopolitically tense world) and b) how they intend to foster manufacturing (without relying on significant Government investment).
ii) the present situation allows the UK to develop or take advantage of new ways of making things eg use of composites (eg https://carbonthreesixty.com), nanomaterials (eg https://wejustheat.com), new foundry process (eg https://foundrylab.com).
iii) nature abhors a vacuum – the UK has able engineers developing new solutions to global B2B problems which involve manufacturing (eg https://salinitysolutions.co.uk, https://iolight.co.uk)
