Deform UK-run Derbyshire County Council have engaged PricewaterhouseCooper (PwC) to find "savings".
Savings WILL be required. PwC usually charges around £5m for this sort of service.
The savings are likely to target local services.

They literally couldn’t be bothered to even show up to discuss the VAWG strategy today. bsky.app/profile/sara...
A grand total of 10 Conservatives (one woman) and 0 Reform present for a statement on the VAWG strategy.
Clearly protecting women and girls isn’t that much of a priority for them.

A third of 16-18 year olds girls say in surveys that they experienced unwanted sexual touching at school. There are several hundred rapes reported in schools every year.
Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

It's hard to find the words for how disgusting this is. It completely silences girls' experiences of male violence. It fails to recognise the importance of education for prevention. It ignores the drivers of men's violence. And it's racist.
Oh and for good measure, which party cut police numbers?

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Only 61 towns were selected by ministers to benefit from the Towns Fund.
Darwen, in Jake Berry's constituency, was one of them. The 289th most deprived town in Britain.
Newark, in Robert Jenrick’s constituency, was another. The 270th most deprived town in Britain.
