@kelly18600 Is that even a question?

[Keep Grangemouth Working @GrangemouthJobs]

The owner of Lindsey oil refinery has gone into liquidation - 100s more oil jobs at risk. @PraxGroup also have workers in Shetland. @Ed_Miliband failed Grangemouth. He must learn lessons, act now. @GOVUK need a long-term plan for fuel security and to protect oil & gas workers

[Alba in Clacks @AlbaClacks]

We are very sorry to hear that Westminster has surrendered. A cowardly display.

What path lies open for your staff members now ?

[Keep Grangemouth Working @GrangemouthJobs]

SURRENDERED!!
@Ed_Miliband tells @GrangemouthJobs today that UK Gov can’t do anything regarding future of refinery. They’ve thrown the towel in on us, our site and our country. Disgraceful! @UKLabour

[Helen Joyce @HJoyceGender]

Lovely stuff, well done, women of FiLiA! And WHEN will parties - and employers, service providers and all the rest - realise that NO you can't lawfully discriminate against GC/sex-realist people? And that if you try you'll be taken to court, and lose expensively??

[Alba in Clacks @AlbaClacks]

Despicable. The council is playing with these people's lives

[The Wee Brief @TheWeeBriefNews]

CANCELLED

@ClacksCouncil has cancelled a meeting with homeowners from Tilli.

1 year after being evicted and abandoned by the council, a long awaited meeting covering the report has been cancelled, with a simple message being sent out in a WhatsApp group.

@BrianLeishmanMP step up

[Alba in Clacks @AlbaClacks]

The RAAC issue has been going on for nearly a year.

The council has failed to show empathy, let alone try and correct their failures. We do hope you make some positive changes.

[Brian Leishman @BrianLeishmanMP]

RAAC is a huge issue for many constituents in Tillicoultry. Many are living a life in limbo with nowhere to call home. I raised this issue in Parliament and am meeting with the residents & Clackmannanshire Council on Friday.

[The Wee Brief @TheWeeBriefNews]

An important issue that is often forgotten about.

My gran slipped once and broke her leg. She was very determined to convince everyone she was fine

[ALBA Party @AlbaParty]

❄️ While the Prime Minster enjoys the luxuries of life, thousands of pensioners will be unable to heat their homes this Winter.

❌That is unacceptable.

The media and many politicians keep repeating that only 400 jobs will be lost with the closure of the Grangemouth refinery.

Over two thousand contractors will also lose their work, forcing them further south and overseas.

[Alba in Clacks @AlbaClacks]

What is the knock on effect from the Grangemouth refinery closing ?

It is not just the jobs in the refinery.
Local businesses won't have nearly 3000 jobs fuelling them.
Other businesses that rely on the refinery to provide the raw materials for their work.

[Alba in Clacks @AlbaClacks]

How many employees find work at the Grangemouth refinery ?

Give your answer in the comments below .

[Alba in Clacks @AlbaClacks]

£600,000,000 has been given to the INEOS group to build a chemical plant in Antwerp.

That's right. Belgium. Unfortunately, Westminster has said there is no money to protect Scotland's refinery, Grangemouth.

The Labour government is acting in a dereliction of duty.

[Alba in Clacks @AlbaClacks]

Do you know the answer to this Grangemouth question ?

Answer in the comments.

[Alba in Clacks @AlbaClacks]

If closure could not be avoided, the workers of Grangemouth asked for one favour.

A just transition.

The workers accepted that times change, and to be given time to retrain whilst the location was adapted.

This request has been looked over by both Holyrood and Westminster.

[Alba in Clacks @AlbaClacks]

Every time I see a post about Grangemouth, my heart breaks.

The refinery should be protected, and I do hope a buyer can be found.

[Keep Grangemouth Working @GrangemouthJobs]

Promises of jam tomorrow from @GillianMSP and @mgshanks. Both trying to salvage some positives from the industrial vandalism they have allowed to happen - too little too late

It's time to make a choice as to whether we continue to be impoverished by Labour and Tories, or whether we leave

[James Campbell @J4m35c4mpb3ll]

Michael Shanks warns Scots on the Sunday Show;

‘‘Labour did NOT make a mistake on the cuts to the Winter Fuel Payment, and more cuts are coming.’’

At what point do Scots say enough is enough?….. When we are all starving and on the fcuking streets?

[JOHN NICOLSON 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 @MrJohnNicolson]

A decade on from Scotland’s independence referendum and the country is still closely divided on the issue. But Unionists must see the writing on the wall. Support for the Union is strongest amongst the old. Under 45s support an independent Scotland back in the EU.
