need to get used to given her need to get used to given her budget for growth has proved about as unpopular as a prince andrew backstage meet and greet . andrew backstage meet and greet. after all, rachel reeves has enraged 10 million pensioners by axing their winter fuel payments. enraged farmers with an inheritance tax raid and enraged business with a hike on employer national insurance contributions, which the boss of deutsche bank this week called a payroll tax, which may lead to 100,000 workers

payroll tax, which may lead to 100,000 w0|in rs payroll tax, which may lead to 100,000 w0|in the g7 to the highest in the g7 to 0.1% under keir starmer and rachel reeves. if only this government had a complaints department like the halifax do now, in my big opinion . last month i said that opinion. last month i said that dupuchy opinion. last month i said that duplicity and dishonesty are a key feature of this new administration, and the plot thickens as the chancellor, rachel reeves, faces a fresh headache today, as the telegraph report that she's been accused of exaggerating the length of her service working at the bank of england in a 2021 interview for stylist magazine, to which i subscribe , obviously, she said subscribe, obviously, she said she'd spent a decade working as an economist at the bank of england and, quote, loved it. however , on linkedin, however, on linkedin, a networking website where you show your career history, it lists only a six year period of service at the bank from september 2000 to december 2006.

that's not a decade, is it? with political adviser henry newman suggesting a year of that was spent as a student. now, this is just days after the chancellor's linkedin page was edited to change her job title at the bank change herjob title at the bank of scotland from economist to retail banking , which i think retail banking, which i think means giving bags of pound coins to shopkeepers, exchanging holidaymakers currency and handing out those free blue pens. now, this story may seem trivial after all, my cv says that i'm 28, have a swimmer's build and played luke skywalker in star wars, but a pattern is emerging. this is the same chancellor that said that she did not anticipate raising tax on working people, and has done just that with the aforementioned payroll tax , aforementioned payroll tax, something that the respected and politically neutral paul johnson of the ifs has said will likely impact workers via lower wages ,

impact workers via lower wages, cancelled bonuses and potentially layoffs. honesty in politics is important, and reeves and her ilk were all too keen to point that out during the last administration. they gave boris johnson, liz truss and rishi sunak dogs abuse over these issues. so an online archive shows that in 2009, when rachel reeves, our first woman chancellor, how embarrassing for women, was campaigning to be an mp, her website said the following. and this is the kicker rachel has spent her professional career as an economist, working for the bank of england, the british embassy in washington and at halifax bank of scotland. oh dear. the chancellor is an economist, all right. an economist with the truth . are you concerned about truth. are you concerned about these revelations of the
