CV’s exaggerated time of Rachel Reeves in Bank of England

The online CV of Rahel Reeves exaggerated how much time he spent working in Bank of England.

The Chancellor said in her LinkedIn Profile that she leaves the financial institution nine months ago. This means that he spent five and a half years while working in the bank – including to study about a year – despite claiming to be a decade publicly.

On professional networking site LinkedIn, Chancellor’s profile claimed that it had worked in Bank of England from September 2000 to December 2006.

However, BBC News has established that it left until March 2006 when it started working for Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS) in West Yorkshire.

A photo taken in March 2006 showed him with other HBOS staff at the Council of Morgeze Lenders annual lunch.

A former HR lead for a bank helping Reeves’ transfer also said that she could remember her first day and was in March 2006.

A spokesperson of Reeves confirmed that the dates on his linkedIn were wrong and said it was due to an administrative error by the team.

He said that the Chancellor had not seen it before it was published.

His profile was updated on Thursday morning just before the BBC broke the news, to show that Chancellor left the Bank of England in March 2006.

The rest of the profile was later edited to clarify the dates working in HBOS.

The Chancellor has cited his time as an economist at the Bank of England, as he can be trusted with the country’s finance and has repeatedly claimed that he has spent 10 years there.

In an interview by 2021 magazine, which he later posted on X, he said: “I spent a decade working as an economist in Bank of England and loved it.”

In a speech of the Labor Party Business Conference in February last year, Reaves said: “I spent the best part of a decade as an economist in Bank of England.”

He said the same thing in a speech at a CEO summit in July 2022, and in a video posted on his Facebook page in the same month.

The claim was also reiterated in a Labor Party document last year stating that he spent “the first decade of his career in Bank of England”.

As she had already started in HBOS by the spring of 2006, her time in Central Bank was only five and a half years. This included studying about a year for Masters in the London School of Economics (LSE).

Last year, during the previous controversy over Reeves’ CV, Bank of England confirmed that Reaves had left in 2006, but refused to give the month of his departure saying that it was a wide staff record. Which they could not provide.

More than three months after working in West Yorkshire, Reavs also stood for election in Bromli in South-East London.

She stood in a by -election on 29 June 2006, but played a role in HBOS in March that year and received a rehabilitation package to move from London. It is believed that he rented a flat in Leeds and at this time kept a flat in London.

Chancellor’s online CV gives wrong dates for his time in HBOS, which was also accepted by his team. It said that she left in May 2010 five months before being elected to Parliament in May 2010.

In fact, we have established, its employment in HBOS ended in mid -May 2009, when he signed an agreement agreement. For legal advice on the agreement, an invoice stated that it “arose from a decision by your employer to eliminate its employment”.

The bank was being restructured at the time of Reeves’ departure and a spokesman by the Chancellor said that he had taken voluntary excesses.

An agreement agreement, now known as a settlement agreement, is a legal document between an employer and an employee, used by HBO when senior managers were made meaningless.

According to his spokesperson, Reeves was allowed to continue using the company’s car for six months.

He then campaigned for one year before the May 2010 general election, demanding employment without further employment.

The MP from Leeds West and Pudse has earlier faced allegations that he has decorated his online CV.

His LinkedIn profile was replaced last year to describe his role as “retail banking” in HBOS.

It had earlier claimed that he had worked as an economist in the bank, but instead he played a management role in the bank’s customer relations department, which dealt with complaints.

In November, several MPs raised a line in the House of Commons, questioning Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rener.

The Prime Minister’s spokesperson also faced questions at that time, in which reporters asked if Sir Kire expected his cabinet members to tell the truth on his CV.

The spokesperson said the line related to “Chancellor’s premature manner”.

He said, “The Prime Minister is very clear that what is most important is a Chancellor who is capable of balanced books and who is able to be directly with the public and restore public finance,” he said.
