Around 400 jobs to be lost as Grangemouth refinery to close in 2025 (news.stv.tv)

Poor Grangemouth, big blow to the area. Leaving Scotland without a refinery forcing us to rely on English production an obvious defenestration to independence ambitions too. Really tragic to see under a Labour government, combined with port Talbot - just what is Starmer doing???

I went on a school trip to Grangemouth in primary 7 and my main memories of it are the coach journey. This is definitely the end of an era though.

Not sure about the politics of it if the reports of it running at a massive loss are true. Potentially the resources could be more efficiently reallocated to a more modern energy industry or plant.
