Keir Starmer and Labour – Show us the Money!

Sir Keir Starmer Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Grangemouth workers and Sharon Graham protest in Edinburgh

On the 23^rd of February 2025 Keir Starmer pledged £200m investment for Grangemouth from the National Wealth Fund.

Speaking at the Scottish Labour Party Conference, Starmer said that Labour would “stand behind this symbol of Scotland’s industrial brilliance” and that a solution for Grangemouth would “not lack ambition” on their part.

Despite these pledges, now 6 months on from that announcement in Glasgow, the Grangemouth refinery has ceased production after over century of operation and with it, hundreds of jobs have gone. Unite said the 1,000s of jobs supporting the refinery were also at risk and this is sadly now what is happening.

Redundancies at the neighbouring chemical site, contractor roles impacted, Fortum at CHP, along with an impact on local businesses.

As the number of job losses grows each week – there is still absolutely no evidence of any of the £200m being spent at Grangemouth. Money that was pledged for the revival of Scotland’s industrial cluster.

It’s as clear as ever that the fight for the future of Grangemouth falls to us, politicians may be forgetting what they said but we haven’t! Sign the petition today and demand that Keir Starmer show us the money!

To: Sir Keir Starmer Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
From: [Your Name]

Dear Sir Keir Starmer, Prime Minister

We the undersigned write to you to demand that you follow through with the £200m investment pledge for Grangemouth that you made personally on the 23rd of February 2025 in Glasgow.

Over the last 6 months the Grangemouth Refinery has ceased production, after over a century of operation. With its closure, to date hundreds of workers are now out of work with into the thousands more predicted.

As the number of job losses continues to mount– there is still absolutely no evidence of any of the £200m being spent at Grangemouth. Money that you pledged for the revival of Scotland’s industrial cluster.

Working people who rely on the site directly or indirectly are growing impatient. You said you would “stand behind this symbol of Scotland’s industrial brilliance” and that a solution for Grangemouth would “not lack ambition” on your part. To date, there is no evidence that you have done so.

I therefore demand that you treat the Grangemouth crisis with the urgency it needs, a future is still to be secured and demand that you follow through with the £200m investment pledge at pace.

Thank you for your interest and for supporting Unite’s campaign Ι This petition will be shared with Sir Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA
