Labour and SNP MPs pleaded for grangemouth talks to restart
Labour and SNP MPs pleaded with the government at Westminster yesterday for a big push to restart talks over the future of the Grangemouth plant.

He pledged to continue working "extremely closely" with the Scottish government, including looking for potential buyers.
