Workers let down by Westminster

My heart and soul go out to the families of Grangemouth - because I know what it is like to be in an industrial town and for that industry to be destroyed and devastated by an uncaring UK Government.

I know exactly how that feels because that happened to us in Paisley.

The scars will run deep and the people in those communities should remember what the UK Labour Government did to them, just as how we in Paisley remember what the Tories did to our town.

Westminster has let Scotland down time and time again. We have painfully and repeatedly seen how successive UK governments have failed Scotland.

Grangemouth, Scotland's only oil refinery, is critical to energy security and a major source of high-quality jobs.

The Labour Government was quick to nationalise British Steel but, when it came to Scotland, Grangemouth was suddenly a private matter.

Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader, stood in front of TV cameras and promised to save Grangemouth but then performed the biggest backtrack ever.

That is just not good enough.
