Nothing subtle about it



Rachel Reeves caught 'lying' on her CV as GDP growth takes big hit

The Tories have laid into the Chancellor as online observers say row should be a resignation matter...

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”.



So the jibe, "Rachel from Accounts" isn't too far from the mark. Closer than "economist" anyway. Good grief, what a rabble they are.

'Economist' is no great recommendation either. Only marginally better than Keeper of Stationery Supplies or Milk Monitor I guess.

DJ - it's marginally better than Chancellor of the Exchequer though.

Excellent news that we now have so many concerned and knowledgeable citizens around that a gal can't alter her CV in secret.

In other news, an expensively-bespectacled figure was seen in the early hours putting up an expensive brass plate saying "Autistic civil servant lawyer well out of his depth".

Sam - yes it is good news, a small example of the digital age exacting a price from a highly placed liar. Let's hope it continues. It hasn't taken long for the digital age to show up the autistic lawyer either, nor the oafish dimwit pretending to be Foreign Secretary. Interesting times.

He must be our first ever Foreign Secretary who thinks 7 follows 8 rather than coming before it.

As mentioned elsewhere, if Reeves was given the job of Chancellor based on her fabricated cv, then I see no reason why she can't be arrested and charged with Obtaining Pecuniary Advantage by Deception. Not that that will happen, of course, because of Labour Party reasons.

dearieme - I wonder who he thinks came after Henry I ?

Penseivat - I agree, that's what should happen, otherwise, people might say we have a two tier legal system... Fortunately for Rachel from Accounts...

In my prime, I was told that everyone lied on their cv. Well I never did. Fat lot of use it was to me too as most agencies and prospective employers, didn't read it, for all that it was only one page long.

Tammly - I never lied on my cv either, not a single detail. Couldn't do it, but some can and some can't I suppose.
