Rachel Reeves has responded to claims about her job history and expenses following a BBC investigation. She insists that no concerns were raised during her tenure at Halifax Bank of Scotland regarding her expenses, stating that they were approved properly. The investigation also pointed to inaccuracies on her LinkedIn profile relating to her time at the Bank of England. Reeves maintains that the public will judge her based on her current performance as chancellor, focusing on economic growth and supporting working individuals.
No one ever raised any concerns about my expenses. I was never questioned, never asked to pay back any expenses.
I worked as an economist at the Bank of England between 2000 and 2006 before going to work in financial services for Halifax Bank of Scotland.
In the end, people are going to judge me on the job that I'm doing now as chancellor of the exchequer to grow the economy.
My LinkedIn profile was updated to reflect that, and sources said at the time that a staff member had been responsible for the discrepancies.
