Shouldn't this have been the main body of the article instead of being tagged on at the end?

'between 2010 and 2018, its core government funding will have been cut by 56% and in a bid to save more than £40m this year, 500 out of 3,000 staff will be laid off – adding to the 1,000 who have already been made redundant since 2010.'

If this are the stats for Lambeth then won't this be representative of other boroughs, boroughs that don't have scapegoats?
Or is it just Labour boroughs that face this level of cuts?

The Academies set their own budgets and the council foot bill for salaries so that has a huge impact on their public spending

Who knows? there are probably many like him that oversee many schools/hospitals/ other publicly funded organisations as an area manager as it were.
No doubt it will be under scrutiny now, but the focus is as they intended and not the languishing borough so job done.
