Labour rushed to save English jobs. Why not my constituents' at Grangemouth?
Michelle Thomson, the SNP MSP for Falkirk East, writes on the Labour Government's differing approaches to Scottish and English jobs ...

#Undecided?
Live in Scotland?
Believe in fairness?
Giving Starmer a chance?
Is saving an English refinery and not a Scottish one fair?
If you think it is, you're not undecided, you're a unionist
If it's not, you know you need #ScottishIndependence so come and help us achieve it.
