What a ridiculous creature is Rachel Reeves. She presents her time on a bank’s complaints desk as experience as a banker and an economist. She copied and pasted the Wikipedia entries and Guardian obituaries of the subjects of her book, then denied plagiarism by instead defending her actions as a textbook definition of plagiarism. Her time at the Bank of England and at the British Embassy in Washington, she flaunts in an accent that would have precluded her employment by either of them, an accent that only she and her sister have.
And now, this. Angela Rayner was sacked for less. Louise Haigh was sacked for far less, and has still never made a resignation speech to the House of Commons. Nor has Lucy Powell, who, in the context of this Government, was sacked for no apparent reason. What does Reeves know? Nothing about the economy, obviously. But too much about the events in Paul Holden’s The Fraud? Too much about Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein? To much about Jenny Chapman? Too much about Lord Alli? Too much about the Ukrainian rent boys? What, exactly?
It's too close to the Budget to sack her now.
ReplyDeleteBut between this and the effects of the Budget, who knows? Then again, who else is there?
