Rachel Reeves talks pension funds in Mansion House speech
Rachel Reeves has come under heavy fire after she was caught ‘lying’ on her CV about her true work history as an economist.
In October the Guido Fawkes website revealed that while she claimed she worked as an “economist” at the Bank of Scotland between 2006 and 2009, she in fact had a more mundane job working in a support unit managing administration, IT and planning matters.

Today, just hours after she was dealt a blow by terrible economic growth figures Ms Reeves was caught quietly editing her LinkedIn CV to reflect her true role.
On her social media account, the Halifax-based job has now been subtly edited from “economist” to “retail banking”.
A Treasury source has now admitted: “She worked in retail banking covering various areas drawing on her background as an economist. Her LinkedIn has been updated to reflect that.“

Now the Tories have taken aim at Ms Reeves’ “deception” with a party source telling the Express: “It seems Rachel Reeves employment history claims are about as accurate as her promises not to raise taxes on working people - based on deception and increasingly proved false.”
Robert Jenrick quipped: “Reeves said she was an economist. Turns out she’s just economical with the truth.”
Conservative commentator Chris Rose blasted: “Instead of admitting that she lief, she has tried to alter the lie. This amateur needs to resign.”
GB News commentator Lee Harris agreed, tweeting: “This is the person in charge of our economy, and she hasn't got a sodding clue what she is doing.
“If this was you or me, we would have been dismissed, but this is the Labour Party. They're all frauds and liars!”
Ms Reeves once again raised her history as an economist at her inaugural Mansion House speech in the City of London last night.

The Chancellor began her career in 200 as an International Economic Analysis at the bank of England, staying there for six years before moving to Halifax.
This morning she was dealt a major blow after new figures from the ONS revealed that economic growth has flatlined during her first three months in charge of the country’s finances, despite her pledge to get the GDP growing.
The ONS reported that total growth for the quarter rose by just 0.1%, with many economist and experts saying Ms Reeves was directly responsible for this with her doom and gloom language in the lead-up to the Budget.
