I might be late to the party but I have just caught up with the news about RR. Her CV is a work of fiction. She calls herself an Economist with 10 years experience.

She was working in the complaints dept somewhere and a few other lowly positions. Too tired right now to add more.

I think she should be sacked.

Don’t be so rude!!

The truth is she changed her job title from Economist to Retail Banking on LinkdIn after people started querying her CV.

Dont be so rude
That’s a bit rich from someone who has libelled a public figure with an ignorant ill informed comment.
At least your post is still standing for all to see.
I would much prefer to be called rude ( subjective) than appear to be ignorant and ill informed.

Why does RR attract so much shit stirring?
She's had a very shaky start. I think it all stems from the £22 million black hole speeches.

£22 billion black hole
Fixing the foundations
Those with the broadest shoulders blah blah
Fixing our broken economy
Tough decisions to be taken
Growing the economy

That’s all I ever hear from Ministers from the Cabinet on tv and radio, it’s like they’ve been given the same work sheet so trot out the same bullshit time after time.Am getting seriously worried about the next few years now when I had high hopes of Labour doing well.

Now I have a worm ear of Michael Winner. Calm down dear.

Ah yes, the fictitious 22 billion black hole! 9 billion is the rise they gave to the train drivers! But then again they did vote Labour!

Not sure the CV situation is going to go away anytime soon

Granny Gravy And nor should it! Lying on your CV is a sackable offense.

Can someone (*Primrose53*?) please link me to her CVs?
The one before she apparently altered it and the one she changed it to?

I assumed someone who knows all about that would do so but not yet...
Thank you.

Isn't PA Media owned (or largely owned) by the Daily Mail?

My DiL is a clinical psychologist . She has a PhD in clinical psychology and is doing post doctoral research in neurological disorders. She works in the NHS with children with traumatic brain injuries. So it’s more than a degree in psychology I think you’ll find

Can anyone link us to the place where politicians of any stripe upload their CVs, please?

I thought they were elected, then chosen by the party leader for cabinet office. I didn't realise there was some sort of employment agency,

Google Richard Holden MP letter to Rachel Reeves, sorry my iPad is link adverse

The MP is asking her to clarify her job titles during her employment. I assume her signed contracts will have that clearly stated. Should be interesting.

I do feel that during the the time we had a Conservative government in office, the Rachael Reeves continually decried the the tax increases made by them. As soon as she was in power she added a huge amount of extra ones and increased the country’s debt too by fiddling the books.
This was all done by a person who was supposed to have impeccable experience in the field of finance.
We all know that studying a subject is rather like learning to drive, you learn to drive and after passing your test, you’re really LEARN to drive.
I lost total confidence in Borris for telling lies and he resigned. I feel that Rachael Reeves should do likewise.

Fair comment.

Labour always increase taxes. That’s why they put so much effort into convincing us that they wouldn’t increase taxes for working people. A clever phrase, because they refused to actually tell who they considered to be working people. Well clearly Labour don’t think farmers are working people because they have certainly increased their taxes. They know pensioners are not working people so they were safe there. They clearly don’t consider employers to be working people because they’ve increased the taxes employers must pay. So the promise to not increase taxes was a lie. A lie based on playing with words and a refusal to tell us who they considered a working person to be.

However, the Conservatives only have themselves to blame. Had they looked after out public services such as the NHS and schools, they would not have been defeated in the way they were. They need to learn that looking after our services is key to staying in government.

GrannyGravy13 thank you.
What was the reply?

I do think asking why someone leaves a job is between them and their employer.

Would still like to see the actual CVs though...

Questions were asked in PMQs today. See BBC News page.
