Rachel Reeves 'Not an Economist'.
Jump to: Newest in thread
Now this may not be news after her catastrophic budget but apparently RR has edited her online CV which used to claim she was a top economist but now admits she worked in 'retail banking' - so basically a call centre.
She had previously made the false claim of being a teenage chess champion.
Should she resign for being economical with the truth ? |

You can hate on Guido and think he peddles a load of shit but you can't deny the facts.
Care to comment on the actual post? |

"The truth will out.
As long as people are outraged. That's all that matters."
That’s the sad thing these days though, people are less and less ‘outraged’ as you term it, at politicians falsifying things, it’s just the norm and seems to be nothing more than expected, a sad reflection of the calibre of politician in Parliament today and a sad reflection on society that we tolerate it. |

I disagree.
People are directed to be outraged by things like someone changing what their LinkedIn profile says.
While at the same time being directed to ignore or support the government giving their pals multi million pounds contracts for their PPE start up businesses. Or supporting the mass slaughter of innocent men women and children. Or pandering to fossil fuel company profits etc. |

This could be a more balanced view by not missing out that left and right go down their respective paths in terms of directing, it is not a one way street. |

I don’t see anyone being directed how to respond to the situations you have illustrated, I see people who have disengaged from the whole political process because they are fed up with ALL the shit that politicians engage in. |

I deliberately didn't discuss left and right.
There's obviously more to mention from the right as we've just had 14 years of it. |

The article in Guido Fawkes where this story originated, is an example of an attempt to direct people to be outraged about something.
Although I do agree. A large portion of the electorate are not engaged. |

"Directing outrage" is all cool as long as it's a left wing issue. In that case, breaking public property, protesting outside in groups during pandemic, everything is perfectly fine. If it's against something that the left wingers support, it's just unnecessary outrage triggered by "far-right". |

PA news agency fact check states :-
A LinkedIn page which appears to belong to Ms Reeves says that she worked at the Bank of England between September 2000 and December 2006.
The Bank of England confirmed to the PA news agency that Ms Reeves worked for them during the dates on the LinkedIn page.
This includes a stint with the British Embassy in Washington DC, which was a secondment from the UK’s central bank – and which Ms Reeves talked about in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, in August 2023.
Some of Ms Reeves’s time at the Bank can also be charted through papers she contributed to during her employment there.
In a December 2005 paper she is listed as part of the Bank’s structural economic analysis division, which matches the detail on the LinkedIn page.
She is also thanked for her contributions to a December 2001 speech by Charlie Bean, who was the Bank of England’s chief economist at the time |

Did they fact check her time at HBOS. That's what seems to be in question here. Her time at BOE is irrelevant. |

If I had lied to get a job my employer would quite rightly fire me.
Reeves should be subject to the same standards as everyone else.
At least we know now why she doesn’t appear to understand basic economics. |

Can you articulate which part of your "point" I misunderstood. I am pretty sure everyone in this thread knows what you were trying to do. This is what you said:
"People are directed to be outraged by things like someone changing what their LinkedIn profile says."
Isn't this totally invalidating the real problem? You have rephrased the situation conveniently ignoring the actual problem, which is a politician lying about their work experience.
Again, if you can actually articulate an argument, please go ahead. If you just want to repeat meaningless remarks, please don't waste everyone's time. |

Labour has already responded saying that "Ms Reeves worked in retail banking covering various areas drawing on her background as an economist. Her LinkedIn has been updated to reflect that."

I guess she could have drawn on her background as an economist if she was employed to operate the tea trolley.

It seems to be in her DNA, not taxing working people and a budget for growth springs to mind.

Yes, people were very angry with the previous government, as was demonstrated by their significant losses at the ballot box, people had hoped however, that a new government would bring a better approach and attitude, it appears that that was just wishful thinking. |

"Now this may not be news after her catastrophic budget but apparently RR has edited her online CV which used to claim she was a top economist but now admits she worked in 'retail banking' - so basically a call centre.
She had previously made the false claim of being a teenage chess champion.
Should she resign for being economical with the truth ?
All politicians lie (apparently) "
No apparently about it
If I was on fire howling in pain, and a politician pointed and shouted
'good god man, you're on fire'
I'd immediately doubt the fact I was on fire |

"Rachel Reeves = Proven Liar
Chancellor 'economic' with her CV: Rachel Reeves edits her online qualifications from having experience as 'economist' to say she was in 'retail banking'
If you're this upset about someone updating their LinkedIn profile, you must have been absolutely apoplectic with rage when the last government were in power.
Please underline any part of my text where I said I was upset?"
Then maybe you'd like to clarify what you mean?
"
It appears that you are telling lies when you accused me of being upset."
What on earth are you talking about here?

If it isn’t important why has she bothered to change it after some limited media coverage?"

Yes, people were very angry with the previous government, as was demonstrated by their significant losses at the ballot box, people had hoped however, that a new government would bring a better approach and attitude, it appears that that was just wishful thinking. "
My implication is that the same people who are outraged by this, were not bothered by all the sleaze, lies and nonsense from the last government.
And people voted for them over and over. They only lost in the last election because they over hyped the hysteria over immigrants, so this element defected to the extreme Tories. |

You seem very keen to downplay the issue.
Surely it’s a matter of public interest and some import when the Chancellor of the Exchequer embellishes her employment experience and her CV.
It’s not really clear why she should have done it in the first place. Or why she has changed it now. There is no specific job description for the role she is currently doing so why has she lied?
She isn’t that credible anyway. This probably explains why. |

People get upset because Rachel Reeves lied on her LinkedIn profile.
Some Labour fans - Why are people upset because she changed her LinkedIn profile? 
The award for the strawman argument of the year goes to... |

I'm not. I was making a point to another chap, comparing it to the lack of outrage for much bigger issues, which I mentioned in my post.

Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson studied economics at Oxford, getting some of the highest marks ever awarded. He then became the youngest ever economics Don. I don't think he ever worked in 'retail banking'.
How the mighty Labour Party has fallen. |

I’m not concerned.
I’ve never expected Starmer, Reeves or the rest of the gang to be anything other than incompetent buffoons.
I can’t say I’m surprised at all at anything we are finding out about them. |

Out of interest, when, if ever, will you cease with the blaming and slagging off the Tories and concentrate on the Labour government? I understand that they're only a few months into their term but should things not be improving in a couple of years time, I'm interested to know if you will attach any blame to them? |

It's perfectly acceptable I think to blame a previous Government for economic or social problems. It's complete nonsense to blame a previous Government for personal behaviour or integrity.
Starmer, Rayner, Milliband and Reeves have all been found to have been less than honest with various claims and statements and that's on them. It suggests a culture of dishonesty at the heart of Labour which will surely catch up with them at some point.

I have been critical of Labour. And this government.
Just think the same people who were defending the brutal austerity cuts are now suddenly interested in means tested winter fuel allowance. If the Tories had brought that in, the same people would be defending it. |

Where do you get that idea? This forum used to be chock full of people criticising the Tories.
At one point anyone that mentioned Labour got accused of 'whataboutery', because the majority of posters here didn't want to hear that, they just wanted to bash the Tories. |

Economic insight and the ability to deliver growth are what truly matters.
In the absence of those core capabilities, I would agree that focusing on surface level achievements like ‘firsts’ is perhaps the best option as you point out. |
