Closures - The Grangemoouth scandal

https://thecommunists.org/2025/03/06/news/grangemouth-scandal-unite-snp-failure/ Failure to mobilise against job cuts at Grangemouth reveals the fraudulent nature of Unite and SNP leaders. Once again, the vagaries of the world market take precedence over the needs of British working people. Not only is Grangemouth the only oil refinery left in Scotland, meaning that with its closure a skilled workforce and vital function will be lost, but energy prices in Britain could be instantly curtailed by nationalising the whole industry and running it to meet local demand. Instead, all energy production in Britain is carried out as a part of the world energy market. Its product sells for world market prices, even if it is produced on home territory, and its production centres are shuttered if their costs are higher than those in competing countries. Without nationalisation of such key industries and their reorganisation according to a central plan, neither energy or any other kind of sovereignty is possible – and British workers will continue to pay a heavy price.
