## Resource

UK manufacturers are in deep trouble, facing crippling energy costs up to 90% higher than global peers, forcing factory closures, job cuts, and mass relocation threats. Heavy reliance on gas, outdated grids, and costly levies are squeezing businesses, with a quarter holding less than a year’s cash and one in ten fearing bankruptcy within a year. Government aid may not be enough to halt the tide of deindustrialization — and without competitive energy prices, Britain risks losing vital industries and jobs.
