Earlier today I asked the Chancellor why there was £600 million for Ineos to build a plant in Belgium and why that money was there for Antwerp and not Grangemouth. The answer didn’t clear that up. The government should do the right thing and step in to save Scottish jobs.

There’s gov’t money for Ineos to build a refinery in Belgium. There’s gov’t money for Ineos’s owner to redevelop his football stadium. But there’s no gov’t money for the Grangemouth refinery workers, their community & Scotland. That sums up everything that’s wrong with politics.

I stood up in Parliament today and criticised this decision because it’s wrong. Let’s be clear, compensating WASPI women for their state pension is justice. It’s correcting a failure of government that left millions of women blindsided. #WASPI #waspiwomen

SNP did zero to save the Grangemouth refinery & yesterday’s £25m announcement is derisory. But Labour haven’t done nearly enough either. What happened to the promises made by leadership to “save the jobs & put hundreds of millions into Grangemouth”? There’s still time to do it.

I did not become a Labour member to impoverish vulnerable people. The proposed cuts to welfare should be rejected and the government should focus on improving people's living standards and creating a society that looks after people.

It’s simple. If the Grangemouth refinery closes and Project Willow recommendations aren’t ready then it’s an unjust transition. If this happens then it’s certainly not a credible industrial strategy from the government.

If the Grangemouth refinery closes then this will be felt by local businesses. I will take up the Minister’s offer of a meeting to tell him in no uncertain terms that if the refinery does close then the consequences will be dire. Grangemouth needs UK Gov support, not just words.

The Labour Party should govern by real Labour Party values. The leadership must appreciate this and change course.

Parliament has been recalled. Hopefully to nationalise British Steel and take it under government control. The same should happen to the Grangemouth oil refinery. The government should control essential industries.

This is a desperate day for the workers of the Grangemouth refinery, for Scottish industry and our national security. Shame on all governments that have not done enough to provide a Just Transition.

I've had lots of questions around me getting the whip back and why I wanted it back. It’s because I believe the Labour Party remains the most likely vehicle to deliver the change we desperately crave and the best place for me to effect that change is within the party 🌹

The welfare Bill is dreadful and the concessions offered by the government don’t go far enough. It should be withdrawn. If it isn’t withdrawn, then I will be voting to protect vulnerable people.

There is still time for the Government to do the right thing and intervene to save the Grangemouth refinery. Today I asked the Chancellor and the Treasury to meet me to discuss this credible plan that would mean a just transition for workers. Keep Grangemouth Working Unite For A Workers' Economy

During the Election campaign the Labour leadership said they would save the jobs at the Grangemouth refinery. 7 months later and the leadership are still to deliver. It’s still not too late for the government to do the right thing and keep its promise. Anything less is wrong

Today at PMQ’s I said what I’ve always said. That the government should intervene to save jobs at the Grangemouth refinery, protect Scotland and build Grangemouth for the future. My constituents, their communities and all of Scotland want that to happen.

Both myself and Euan Stainbank MP are working with the UK Government and Alexander Dennis to save Scottish bus manufacturing. Scotland needs more industry, not less.
