UK politics live: Rachel Reeves hit by claims she exaggerated Bank of England job on CV
The BBC reported the chancellor left the central bank nine months earlier than she stated in her LinkedIn profile. Her LinkedIn profile shows she worked at the Bank of England from September 2000 to December 2006. However, the BBC found she had left by March 2006 when she began working for Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS) in West Yorkshire. Ms Reeves has previously claimed in a 2021 magazine interview she spent a decade working at Threadneedle Street, while she told the Labour Party Business Conference last year she spent 'the best part of a decade' at the Bank. A spokesman for the chancellor confirmed the LinkedIn profile was inaccurate and said the error was due to an administrative mistake. It comes as Britain's economy unexpectedly grew in the final three months of last year after recession fears, but Ms Reeves said she was 'still not satisfied'. Tories say they support government's backing of Ukraine in rare show of cross-party support Shadow defence secretary James Cartlidge told the Commons: 'We remain 100% steadfast in our support for Ukraine and in our backing for the Government delivering that, as they did when in opposition, and we agree in principle with them – as we also stressed repeatedly in government – it is for the Ukrainians to decide the timing and terms of any negotiations on ending the war.' He added: 'Negotiations without the direct involvement of Ukraine would be unthinkable.' Mr Cartlidge noted US President Donald Trump has been right to highlight that some Nato nations spend 'far below what is expected and required' on defence. He also sought assurances that the UK Government would use 'every lever possible' to remind all Nato members that if Russian President Vladimir Putin is 'seen to somehow win from any settlement that may bring a temporary end to the conflict, but it will not make the world a safer place'. Mr Cartlidge went on: 'Far from it, this would be an illusion of peace likely to send a very dangerous signal to other potential adversaries.' Jabed Ahmed13 February 2025 11:49 Explained | What are the fake CV allegations made towards Rachel Reeves? The BBC reported Rachel Reeves left the Bank of England nine months earlier than she stated in her LinkedIn profile. This means she spent five and a half years working at the bank despite publicly claiming to have spent the 'best part' of a decade there. Ms Reeves has previously claimed in a 2021 magazine interview she spent a decade working at Threadneedle Street, while she told the Labour Party Business Conference last year she spent 'the best part of a decade' at the Bank. Her LinkedIn profile shows she worked at the Bank of England from September 2000 to December 2006. However, the BBC found she had left by March 2006 when she began working for Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS) in West Yorkshire. The broadcaster unearthed a photograph of the chancellor in March 2006 alongside other HBOS staff at an annual lunch for the Council of Mortgage Lenders. A former HR lead told the BBC she recalled Ms Reeves' first day at HBOS, and that it was in March 2006. The LinkedIn profile has since been updated. Her profile states she worked in three areas of the Bank over the six-year period she was employed there: its international economic analysis division, then at the British Embassy in Washington DC in the second secretary economic division, and finally in the structural economic analysis division. After this it lists her time working for Halifax Bank of Scotland, then her political career following her election in 2010.

During an urgent question on Ukraine, he said: 'Can I ask the minister if she agrees with me that in this new world, and in the event of any peace deal, that the United Kingdom and its European allies must lead in providing Ukraine military support and potentially military presence across land, air and sea, to give Ukraine confidence that any peace will endure? 'And can I assure the Government that it will have my support, if that's what it decides to do.' Defence minister Maria Eagle replied: 'I can confirm that we aim to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position to enable it to negotiate, and that involves continuing to supply them with the arms and weapons that they need in order to fight, because fighting is still going on in a very fierce manner in that country. 'So we need to step up and make sure we do that.' Ms Eagle added that 58% of aid and support received by Ukraine last year was from European nations.

Jabed Ahmed13 February 2025 11:19 Rachel Reeves' spokesperson responds to exaggerated CV allegations A spokesperson for Rachel Reeves said: 'As Rachel said on Good Morning Britain a couple of weeks ago when she was asked, she worked as an economist at the Bank of England between 2000 and 2006, including over a year at the British Embassy in Washington working in the economics section, and then she worked at HBOS from 2006 to 2009. She's proud of the jobs she did and experience she gained before becoming a Member of Parliament.' Jabed Ahmed13 February 2025 11:08 Defence minister says she is glad support for Ukraine remains cross-party Defence minister Maria Eagle, responding to an urgent question on Ukraine, told the Commons: 'Nato's job is to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position for any talks, but there can be no negotiation about Ukraine without Ukraine being involved. 'We want to see a durable peace and no return to conflict and aggression. That's the only way in which this war can end with the kind of security that President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have referred to.'

Reeves's CV exaggerated time at Bank of England
Rachel Reeves's online CV exaggerates how long she spent working at the Bank of England. The Chancellor left the financial institution nine months earlier than she states in her LinkedIn profile. This means she spent five and a half years working at the bank - including nearly a year studying - despite publicly claiming to have spent a decade there. On the professional networking site LinkedIn, the Chancellor's profile claims she worked at the Bank of England from September 2000 to December 2006. However, BBC News has established she had left by March 2006 when she began working for Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS) in West Yorkshire. A photo taken in March 2006 shows her with other HBOS staff at the Council of Mortgage Lenders annual lunch. A former HR lead for the bank who helped with Reeves's relocation also said she could recall her first day and it was in March 2006. A spokesman for Reeves confirmed that dates on her LinkedIn were inaccurate and said it was due to an administrative error by the team. They said the Chancellor hadn't seen it before it was published. The Chancellor has cited her time as an economist at the Bank of England as part of the reason she can be trusted with the nation's finances and has repeatedly claimed to have spent up to 10 years there. In a 2021 magazine interview, which she subsequently posted on X, she said: "I spent a decade working as an economist at the Bank of England and loved it." In a speech to the Labour Party Business Conference in February last year, Reeves said: "I spent the best part of a decade as an economist at the Bank of England." She said the same thing in a speech at a CEO summit in July 2022, and in a video posted on her Facebook page in the same month. The claim was also repeated in a Labour party document last year which stated that she spent "most of the first decade of her career at the Bank of England". As she had already started at HBOS by the spring of 2006, her time at the central bank only amounted to five and half years. This included nearly a year studying for a Masters at the London School of Economics (LSE). Last year, during previous controversy about Reeves's CV, the Bank of England confirmed that Reeves had left in 2006 but refused to give the month of her departure saying it was a detailed staff record which they couldn't provide. Reeves also stood for election in Bromley in south-east London more than three months after she had taken a job in West Yorkshire. She stood in a by-election on 29 June 2006 but had taken up a role at HBOS in March that year and received a relocation package to move from London. It is understood she rented a flat in Leeds and kept a flat in London at this time. The Chancellor's online CV gives incorrect dates for her time at HBOS as well, which her team also acknowledged. It states that she left in December 2009, five months before she was elected to parliament in May 2010. In fact, we have established, her employment at HBOS finished in mid-May 2009, when she signed a compromise agreement. An invoice for legal advice on the agreement stated that it arose "from a decision by your employer to terminate your employment". The bank was undergoing restructuring at the time of Reeves's departure and a spokesman for the Chancellor said she had taken voluntary redundancy. A compromise agreement, now known as a settlement agreement, is a legal document between an employer and employee which HBOS used when senior managers were made redundant. Reeves was allowed to continue using a company car for six months, according to her spokesman. She then spent a year campaigning ahead of the May 2010 general election without seeking further employment. The MP for Leeds West and Pudsey has previously faced accusations that she has embellished her online CV. Her LinkedIn profile was changed last year to describe her role at HBOS as "Retail Banking". It had previously claimed she worked as an economist at the bank but she instead held a management role in the bank's Customer Relations department, which dealt with complaints. In November, several MPs raised the row in the House of Commons while putting questions to Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner. The prime minister's spokeswoman also faced questions at that time, with journalists asking if Sir Keir expected members of his Cabinet to tell the truth on their CV. The spokeswoman said the row related to "the chancellor's time before she was the chancellor". "The prime minister is very clear that what is most important is having a chancellor who is able to balance the books and who is able to be straight with the public and restore the public finances," she added. Rachel Reeves's online CV exaggerates how long she spent working at the Bank of England. The Chancellor left the institution nine months earlier than she states in her LinkedIn profile. This means she spent five and a half years working at the bank - including nearly a year studying - despite publicly claiming to have spent a decade there.
