Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been caught changing her online CV after the claim that she worked as an “economist” at the Bank of Scotland was exposed as untrue.
Gone from her LinkedIn profile is the claim that she was an “economist” at the Bank of Scotland. She now says only that she worked in “Retail Banking” at “Halifax” (i.e., Halifax Bank of Scotland, HBOS).
Guido Fawkes revealed last month that Reeves “actually worked in a small complaints team within HBOS which managed administration processes, IT matters, and small projects and planning”.
Guido further reports that a Treasury source has admitted that the LinkedIn entry was edited: “She worked in retail banking covering various areas drawing on her background as an economist. Her LinkedIn has been updated to reflect that.”
With a background as strong as that and integrity to match, no wonder she’s getting off to such a flying start as Chancellor…
