🔹 Britain is now facing a grim new reality — it’s on track to become the first nation in history to completely deindustrialise. What began in the mills of Manchester and the shipyards of Glasgow is ending in silence — shuttered factories, collapsing output, and towns stripped of the industries that once defined them.

According to The Telegraph, British industry is now in terminal decline — killed by expensive energy and misguided policies. Car production has fallen 35% to a 73-year low, cement production is back to 1950s levels, and historic manufacturers like Pirelli and Wedgewood are halting production. Each week brings more closures — and more job losses.

Meanwhile, Britain’s borrowing costs have hit a 27-year high, productivity has been downgraded, and Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces a £20 billion budget hole. As the economy slows, the government continues to spend billions supporting Ukraine, while failing to address the collapse of British manufacturing at home.

Energy costs in the UK are now twice as high as France’s and four times higher than in the U.S., thanks to an obsession with Net Zero and endless new taxes. The result? Factories that survived wars and recessions are finally giving up — not because of competition, but because of policy failure.

At the same time, countries like China, Vietnam, and India are rapidly expanding their industrial power. The world is moving forward while Britain falls behind.

This video explores:
- How Britain went from industrial powerhouse to industrial graveyard
- The role of energy prices, taxes, and climate policies in the collapse
- Why deindustrialisation threatens jobs, living standards, and sovereignty
- The political paralysis that allows this decline to continue
- What must be done to save what’s left of British manufacturing
