Complaint over Reform councillor's record since defection
At the meeting of the full council today, Green councillor, Jon Molyneux, took an opportunity to highlight councillor Kerr's record since he made the switch.
Councillor Kerr defended his record in representing his Shettleston ward.
Molyneux raised a point of order at the start of the meeting.
He said: 'It has been six months since Thomas Kerr defected to Reform.'
He added in that time, 'He hasn't raised a question, hasn't spoken in a debate or produced a budget proposal'.

Molyneux asked if this was acceptable under the Local Government Act rules on councillors' attendance requirements.
A council official said that the Act refers to attendance rather than participation.
Councillor Kerr said: "I work day in day out for the people of Shettleston, and will continue to do so.
'It'll be my community who will judge my efforts, not political opponents.
'Reform's popularity is growing and the City Chambers establishment better get used to it."

Welfare U-turn raises questions over Labour's tax plans
The concessions, including the last-minute shelving of plans to restrict eligibility for personal independence payments (Pip), were enough to head off the Government's first Commons defeat on Tuesday evening. But they also removed a key plank of Sir Keir Starmer's welfare reform agenda, delaying changes to Pip until after a review of the benefit not due to conclude until autumn 2026. With no clarity on when the changes will be enacted or what they might entail, the Chancellor now faces a fiscal headache as a forecast £4.8 billion in welfare savings have been whittled away to nothing. Economists at the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) and Resolution Foundation think tanks warned that Tuesday's concessions meant Ms Reeves could now expect no 'net savings' by 2029/30 – a key year for meeting her fiscal targets. IFS deputy director Helen Miller said the move had effectively halved the Chancellor's 'margin of error' against her main fiscal rule, once again raising the possibility of tax rises in the autumn. On top of that, a stuttering economy and global instability could mean she has even less room for manoeuvre than expected. Ms Miller said: 'Since departmental spending plans are now effectively locked in, and the Government has already had to row back on planned cuts to pensioner benefits and working-age benefits, tax rises would look increasingly likely.' The Resolution Foundation's Ruth Curtice agreed that there would be no savings in 2029/30, but suggested changes to universal credit – almost the only part of the Government's proposals still standing – could save money in the longer term. On Wednesday morning, the Conservatives accused Labour of making billions in unfunded spending commitments, including both the U-turns on welfare and the partial reinstatement of winter fuel payments. In a letter to Ms Reeves, shadow chancellor Sir Mel Stride demanded to know where the money was coming from, asking: 'Will you raise tax or increase borrowing?' Ministers have repeatedly insisted that Labour will not raise taxes on 'working people', specifically income tax, national insurance or VAT. But Ms Reeves also remains committed to her 'iron clad' fiscal rules, which require day-to-day spending to be covered by revenues – not borrowing – in 2029/30. Meanwhile, Sir Keir himself will face a grilling from MPs on Wednesday as he attempts to repair relations with his backbenchers. The weekly session of Prime Minister's Questions comes just a day after 49 of his own MPs voted against his welfare reforms – the biggest rebellion of his premiership so far – while several backbenchers described the Government's handling of the issue as 'chaotic' and 'a shambles'.

Rayner to back plan to build 180,000 social homes in next decade
The figure would be six times the number of social homes built in the 10 years up to 2024. It forms part of a drive to build 300,000 new social and affordable properties by 2035, backed by a £39 billion investment announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in last month's spending review. Calling on the social housing sector to 'work together to turn the tide on the housing crisis together', the Deputy Prime Minister said the investment was 'the biggest boost to social and affordable housing in a generation'. She said: 'We are seizing this golden opportunity with both hands to transform this country by building the social and affordable homes we need, so we create a brighter future where families aren't trapped in temporary accommodation and young people are no longer locked out of a secure home.' But even the 180,000 new social homes set to be promised on Wednesday may not be enough to solve Britain's housing crisis. Housing charity Shelter has argued that the Government needs to build 90,000 new social homes a year for the next decade – five times the figure Ms Rayner has committed to. According to Shelter, building 90,000 social homes a year would clear waiting lists, which currently stand at around 1.3 million households, and end the use of temporary accommodation. Mairi MacRae, Shelter's director of campaigns, said the focus on social housing was 'a vital step in tackling the housing emergency and getting homelessness under control', but urged the Government to do more. She said: 'Now they must go further and ramp up building to 90,000 social rent homes a year – this means getting tough on developers, supporting councils to get building and having a clear, overall social rent target for all delivery.' Ms Rayner's target for social and affordable housing forms part of a wider long-term plan also due to be published on Wednesday, setting out how the Government both build more houses and improve housing standards. It is expected to include a commitment to implement minimum energy efficiency standards in the social housing sector for the first time and extend the decent homes standard to the private rental sector. The decent homes standard currently only applies to social homes, and includes requirements to keep properties in a reasonable state of repair, have reasonably modern facilities and be free of major hazards such as mould or asbestos. Currently, around a fifth of privately rented homes are thought not to meet the standard. Wednesday's plan will also include further reforms of the right to buy system intended to limit the amount of social housing that is sold off. Last year, the Government cut the discount available to social tenants looking to buy their homes under right to buy, and ministers have been consulting on further changes. Shadow housing secretary Kevin Hollinrake said: 'Conservatives actually delivered 700,000 new affordable homes when in office, but Angela Rayner can only manage a promise of 300,000. 'By slashing support for affordable home ownership and demanding more expensive social rent, Labour's approach will mean fewer new affordable homes can be delivered overall – and working people will suffer the consequences.'
