GRANGEMOUTH MP Brian Leishman demanded “decisive action” from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer today to secure a future for the oil refinery and its skilled workforce.

Vowing not to “give up the fight,” Mr Leishman has written to Sir Keir demanding he convene an urgent cross-government meeting to deliver a “just transition to sustainable alternatives” for the site and its workers.

In a letter, co-signed by 16 Labour colleagues — inlcuding Diane Abbott, Ian Lavery and Jon Trickett — as well as John McDonnell and Apsana Begum, he said: “The Grangemouth refinery could be a centrepiece of our green industrial revolution while securing economic prosperity in the region for generations to come.
