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.

Thank you!

We are in agreement re Reeves - I don’t like her either!

I don’t trust her.

To be fair, the entire front bench of Labour are lowering the bar when it comes to mediocrity, sorry incompetence. They’re like clowns, who accidentally find themselves in government. Who knew that it could get worse after the previous bunch.

Completely.

Imagine Rayner up against her opposite number anywhere in the world.

It doesn’t bear thinking about.

I'm absolutely incensed that @LilyMumsnet has deleted my post replying to the 'made the tea' comment. I swore because I was angry at the misogyny, and I certainly did not make any personal attack of any kind. I listed Rachel reeves qualifications and experience. And you have let the original (arguably defamatory) comment stand! 😵

Is swearing not allowed on Mumsnet now?

Just email her - I’ve found them pretty engaging.

I noticed the deafening silence from the leftwing media (BBC, Sky News and C4 News) about this.....but they find space to report on one of the queens corgis dying.....relevant stuff...

I love the bunch of lefties who immediately jump to Reeves defence......I don't care what truss and last idiots did, two wrongs don't make a right. she clearly lied about her actual position at one place and the length of service at another.......as well as changing her Linkedin when found out....and this is the clown you want to run our economy? she is a blagger plain and simple, anyone who hear's her speak can hear how dumb she sounds.....

It’s a Jack Russell, not a corgi.

who cares?

I do. So does my Jack Russell. She’s most offended.

Sky news is leftwing? Since when?

Maybe compared to Guido Fawkes?

compare them interviewing tory MPs compared to labour, they may as well kiss Labours backside the way they go soft on them....I never understand people who can't see this, and those claiming the BBC is hard on Labour, the BBC may as well be the broadcasting arm of Labour they are so left wing........people are blind to it however.

😂Is that you Nadine? Since when have the American owned Sky and the publicly owned C4 and BBC been left wing?

Sky News really is not left wing. It might arguably be less rabid than when Murdoch owned Sky, but that's about it.

Maybe @zarf2007 is confusing the "Com" in Comcast for "communist?"

Look at Kay Burley and her interviews, journalists are generally left wing anyway so unless its GB News the others clearly are.

😂😂😂

Kay Burley, left wing? No, you are on a wind up.

I assume you’ve never seen an interview by Laura Kuensberg.

I am 60ish, sweetcheeks. If I had a baby it wold be something of a miracle!.

she is the exception and in my mind she doesn't go far enough.

Good!
