What Rachel Reeves’s CV reveals about Labour

The UK chancellor was already in hot water after her frequent lofty pre-election boasts that she worked as an economist at HBOS .

As it turned out, these claims didn’t quite align with her actual stint in the HBOS complaints department.

There has also been speculation about the exact nature and length of her employment at the Bank of England and some odd incidents involving expenses.

The most annoying thing about the CV scandals happening under a Labour government is that we are always asked to give them the benefit of the doubt.

This is leeway that Labourites never indulge for anybody else.

These are exactly the kind of misdemeanours that they would normally fulminate about when it’s not them caught doing it.

Embellishing your CV to get a top job is not a small detail.
