Labour has accused the Lord Provost of Glasgow of losing control after a bad-tempered council meeting ended in accusations of threats being made to a councillor.
Frank McAveety accused SNP member Graham Campbell of threatening him at the conclusion of proceedings at the City Chambers yesterday.
But another Labour councillor blamed the rowdy scenes on the SNP's Jacqueline McLaren, who chairs full council meetings in her role as Lord Provost. Fiona Higgins, a Labour member for the Canal ward, said: "The SNP councillor who threatened a fellow councillor in full council today must be held to account.
The meeting was adjourned by McLaren but quickly became heated as Labour members Bill Bulter and McAveety tried to make points of order.
