Reeves’ team has been working hard at quietly editing her career history at HBOS ever since Guido exposed she wasn’t an ‘economist’ there, rather she worked in the complaints team. First her LinkedIn was changed, then her biography in The Times Guide to the House of Commons. Meanwhile, she ditched her previously much-loved line of ‘I worked as an economist’ at her CBI appearance yesterday…
One Reeves profile remains a lesson in revisionism. On Speakers for Schools’ website – a charity “dedicated to improving social mobility, offering young people free access to inspiring talks and work experience” – Reeves’ current bio states: “Rachel spent her professional career as an economist working for the Bank of England, the British Embassy in Washington and at Halifax Bank of Scotland.”
Presumably her team haven’t got around to updating this one yet…
Lord Khan in the Telegraph: “I hope, and I say this in a non-pompous way, that the public service I do will bring rewards in this world and the hereafter,” he says. “I’m hoping the work I do is earning me Brownie points.”
