When it rains for the Labour lot, it pours. This morning Rachel Reeves came under fire on Good Morning Britain as she appeared on the airwaves for a media round. She may have made her big growth speech yesterday, but the Chancellor still can’t escape questions about her rather controversial curriculum vitae.
Quizzing Reeves on whether she has been straight with the public about her economist background, Richard Madeley wasn’t pulling any punches. ‘This is your first appearance on Good Morning Britain for quite a months and certainly since allegations about you enhancing your CV surfaced,’ the presenter began, going on:
You told Stylist magazine that you worked at the Bank of England for a decade – in fact, it was only six years and one of those years was at the London School of Economics doing a master’s course, so that’s five years and not a decade. In biographies that you’d actually endorsed, it was stated that you worked as an economist at the Bank of England, the British Embassy in Washington and latterly at the Halifax, Bank of Scotland. But according to your colleagues, you actually worked in a support department at the Scottish bank and you kind of helped out with admin and IT – and that’s all earned you the nickname ‘Rachel from accounts’.
The host continued on – even accusing Reeves of straightforward ‘exaggeration’. Ouch.
