Did Rachel Reeves Lie On Cv?

[curlyfries81]

Did the Chancellor list false information about her previous employment history on CV / Linkedin profile?

If she did, should she be sacked?

[curlyfries81]

OMG - the link worked !! 😃

[jackthehat]

Yes, she did.

She should be but, she won't be.

Normal rules seem to cease to apply when you have been promoted to a position of authority over the plebs.

Woman in charge of the economy unclear on how t'internet works.

[curlyfries81]

Well she's amended it now, Douglas, so someone must have given her a quick tutorial. 

Yes, jackthehat, one rule for them and one for us.

They lie when they don't even have to. It is a trait that cannot be taught or erased.

I wonder what the Labour luvvies on this site have to say about this matter?

[nicebloke1]

No joke its really funny seeing the cons on here going on about liars in government.  <:•)

7.44pm - do you think Labour liars should be given a free pass?

[douglas9401]

One should be careful when using alliteration in chat about political parties.

[ToraToraTora]

Well it's pretty clear she's no economist but in reality you need no qualifications for any position in government or indeed to be an MP. Was her CV instrumental in her being Shadow chancellor initially? I doubt it. Sure it's a porky. A real one and internally maybe the PM is fuming at it but I doubt anything will happen.

[curlyfries81]

It may be true that she needs no specific qualifications or experience to be in a Labour Government these days but having special qualities like dishonesty, arrogance and an anti-British agenda are what stands you in good stead if you want to take up a prestigious position where you are capable of bringing industry to its knees, destroying farmers' livelihoods and ultimately putting people out of work. 

 

Who cares if you have to tell a few porkies along the way, eh?

It's apparently a very common thing to lie on your CV.

I've personally never done it. I mean I might have bigged up my skills and responsibilities as would be normal, but people invent university attendances and jobs they've never had.

[douglas9401]

Embellished, embroidered, exaggerated, played fast and loose, sparing with the actualité but not lying.

Rock on Tomus.

[jackthehat]

I read a comment, from a chap who claimed to have worked with RR at HBOS.

She was several ranks junior to him and apparently had so much time off to attend doctor/dentist appointments that she was eventually investigated and followed. She was using the time, she had acquired for herself, to carry out local council business. But had the good sense to resign before she was asked to leave.

Tut tut.

How the heck can Rachel Reeves Tell lies ...She is a member of the new fantastic NRBLP...Now Ruling Britain Labour Party.   The BLTP has been kicked  out..Good.

[nicebloke1]

How many weeks now have you all been scratching around for anything that you may think will smear the new government. 

You've failed time and time again, but fun looking on. <:•)

[nicebloke1]

Love 20.15. Now that is flogging a dead horse.

[Togo]

Robber Reeves is a bit of a mare   ...   but there you go. ^^

[ToraToraTora]

20:15 looks like dumb and dumber don't believe you jack! PMSL!

[curlyfries81]

There are none so blind as those who will not see...
