Scottish Conservative councillor Thomas Kerr defects to Reform

He said: “Reform UK represents the change our communities desperately need, and I’m excited to continue my work for Shettleston with this dynamic new party.”

Kerr was one of two Tory councillors on the council, and will be Reform’s first in the city.

Nigel Farage’s party is aiming to win its first Holyrood seats at the 2026 election.

A Scottish Conservative source speculated that Kerr had made the move in the hope of being elected to the Scottish Parliament.

A recent Survation poll for the Holyrood Sources podcast found Reform was on course to finish in joint third place with the Conservatives on 15 seats.

A Reform UK spokesperson said: “No discussions have ever taken place regarding the Holyrood 2026 election or list rankings.”

Kerr joins five other Reform councillors in Scotland – three in Aberdeenshire and two in North Ayrshire.
