Chancellor Rachel Reeves's CV came under scrutiny for allegedly embellishing her past roles, particularly her claim of working as an economist at Halifax Bank of Scotland.
During PMQs, Tory MPs used the CV controversy to question the credibility of the government, with jibes about 'real economists' and remarks about changes to inheritance tax.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner deflected critiques with humor, highlighting the career shifts of Tory MP Lee Anderson and drawing attention to authenticity in MPs' backgrounds.
Graham Stuart pointed to the significance of authenticity in politics, referencing recent high-profile cases of exaggerated qualifications, signaling a broader concern about integrity in public service.
