British steel workers were abandoned by the government

"Unemployment is of vital importance, particularly to the unemployed." - Edward Heath View this email in your browser Today we lead with news of a report on the collapse of the British steel industry.

We have reaction to the report from the wife of a steel worker, the steel workers' union and the Redcar MP Anna Turley. Elsewhere we report that the Telegraph has been fined £30,000 for sending emails to hundreds of thousands of its subscribers urging them to vote Conservative.
