Rachel Reeves lied on her CV was not an “Economist”

[Disappointedagain22]

AIBU - it’s OK to lie to get ahead

AINBU - it’s bad RReeves very Publicly lied about her prior work. We are right to feel annoyed by this lie.

saw this headline and am feeling really disappointed. Think Rachel Reeves needs to tell public exactly her job title.
She changed job title from Economist, to “Retail Banking”
An Economist at a Bank, is a clear and specific job, it’s a economic research position. A good experience for her current position.

”Retail Banking” - is not a job title … she could have been doing anything in a branch from Bank Teller, to Branch manager, or working in back office operations putting bank notes in the plastic bags or in HR.

I wish people would stop getting into a flap about things that might never happen. Of course they're only doing it to slate the current government. Like everything else - let's just wait and see what becomes actual policy, shall we?

Ooh, why was dumpers post deleted?

Iceberg and RMS Titanic spring to mind….

Absolutely. I guess it's all an attempt to get people to forget all the terrible things that happened under the Tory government and make them think it wasn't so bad!

"Economist" is a very clear job title.

Not at all.

The Tories haven’t been in power since 4th July.

Back to the Labour Govt and the thread in question.

‘’No 10 refuses to say if Rachel Reeves broke ministerial code in CV deception row’’

This story has legs.

THE BELOW IS INCENDIARY IF ACCURATE.

A former head of Banking at HBOS, Kev Gillett, confirms that the CV is inaccurate and makes further allegations about misconduct in office.

Ouch….. 👀
Resignation watch already?

Meanwhile.

Wow, incompetent and a liar. As if the budget wasn’t enough to prove it, now the skeletons are falling out of her cupboard.

This story needs as much publicity as possible. It’s an absolute scandal, if that X post is anything to go by.

Thanks.

One wonders what we discover next - that Starmer’s dad wasn’t a spanner perhaps?

As a PP has pointed out mandation for pension funds potentially creates a conflict of interest with the fiduciary duties of the trustees to act in the best interests of the members. The industry has been pushing back on this point.

This has come out of workstream 4 of the Pensions Investment Review
HoC Briefing

Terms of Reference

Interim Report

I wonder if the Government are firing a bit of a warning shot to pension funds to say they are watching them. I suspect it is sabre rattling as the industry are already pushing back.

I just don't understand the need to lie on the CV (if she has actually done so.)

It's so obvious that the truth would come out if she has, so why not just state accurately what your previous job title was without embellishment? It just creates unnecessary drama that then needs to be corrected when discovered. After all she won't have worked in a vacuum so there will be many who can verify what her previous roles were, or were not.

I remember all that time ago (was it yesterday?) when people were challenged on here about quoting from reliable sources. Interesting to see that some random old bloke's linked-in is up there with the Spectator now.

Thank you for verification of my previous post.

In the words of George Smiley -
The fanatic is always concealing a secret doubt.

Admit it, you are having your doubts now, come on…

So funny. You don't know how much you help me see what rot is being said out there about the government. Jealousy is a bad look.

No, no - jealousy and envy is the preserve of Labour.

Look no further than the imposition of VAT on PS fees - pure class driven envy.

But back to Ms Reeves….

This guy?

Um, how do we know "Kev Gillett",professional OAP, is a reliable source? Let's wait and see what the journalists find out about him, there will no doubt be lots of digging going on. Bit premature to be on resignation watch, I think.

@ChazsBrilliantAttitude thanks for that post.

Forwarding his CV.

Here.

He said “evil socialists”. so is very reliable 🤔
