Reform Politician Accused of Racial Bias | Glasgow News
Description
Glasgow’s city council is roiled by accusations of racism against Reform politician Thomas Kerr, who’s being slammed for fueling divisive narratives that scapegoat entire communities. Amid a heated meeting focused on a violent racist attack, council members presented data showing most crime is committed by men—not by any racial group—and condemned Kerr’s rhetoric. Though absent, Kerr doubled down, claiming the council ignores working-class voices and prioritizes “strangers.” Council leader Susan Aitken accused Reform of spreading hate, pointing to their silence on similar attacks against Muslims in Edinburgh. In response, the council passed a motion condemning racist violence and offering sanctuary to those at risk, leaving tensions high as the debate over crime, race, and representation rages on.
