#Lancashire County #Council, one of 10 councils now run by Reform since 2025 local elections, appointed all-male cabinet
It's first time the council has had a cabinet that includes no #women

Reform UK’s new council leader Atkinson said (yes, this is a real quote)

We look at some of them in more depth. [This article may be updated to reflect further resignations]
