Thomas Kerr: Scotland needs radical change to tackle the drugs crisis, and the Tories offer it

Thomas Kerr: The SNP is relying on a culture of secrecy to hide its failings in Glasgow

Thomas Kerr: The people of Scotland deserve a Council Tax freeze

Thomas Kerr: The SNP’s constitutional obsession is failing Glasgow

Thomas Kerr: In Glasgow, the SNP is punishing business

Thomas Kerr: My mission as a Tory councillor in one of the poorest parts of Glasgow – the first there in a century.

The area has faced years of neglect from both establishment parties in Scotland, and that is why I was elected.
