Why is the UK Gov quite happy to see this close ?

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

The article below goes some way of highlighting Scotlands circumstances with a footnote at the end mentioning Grangemouth.
Sadly the constituency that the plant is in last year voted for a English unionist party MP to represent them.

Because, remember, the oil ran out in 2014 so why do we need one? 🫢

I read today that it needed a £60 million investment for a new Hydrocracker.

I suspect it might need more than that however what I can’t get my head around is why UK Gov are happy to give a reported £600 million grant to the Billionaire Ratcliffe so he can build a new plastics plant In Belgium. You know the Belgium that is part of the EU that we left.
Meanwhile hundreds of skilled job and many many more jobs will be lost for ever when our last remaining refinery shuts and UK Gov who could help to save it sit back and do nothing. Better together eh?

Maybe our resident unionists can explain why they don’t care about Scottish jobs.

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

The tax dodging Ratcliffe?🤔

Is it Old Trafford that`s getting the stadium development money that Reeves mentioned yesterday?🤬

Reeves supports the development. Didn`t say any money was going towards it.

The government are putting money into redeveloping the surrounding area, not the stadium itself. Not sure if City got government backing for the same thing, although the Etihad is in an absolute dive of an area.
