      If even the Chancellor of the Exchequer needs to lie on their CV to get a job, then that’s proof enough that the modern job market/job selection methodology is completely fucked.

      She’s got a masters degree in economics. I don’t think working six years in IT support detracts from that.

      Funny how they never mentioned Kwasi Kwarteng’s complete lack of economics experience as chancellor. Or Jeremy Hunts. Or Nadhim Zahawi. Rishi was obviously an investment banker, as was Sajid Javid (although his position and experience at various places was also unclear) but what about George Osborne?

      Oh god, is this going to be like our version of the Obama ~~broth~~ birth certificate? Right wing agitators refusing to believe her job history?

      Let’s not forget her ‘book’ that was copy and pasted from wikipedia

      How a tory can accuse anyone of being “economical with the truth” with a straight face, I’ll never know.

      Oh look. More utter nonsense being spouted with no basis in fact to try and discredit the Government. It is so dull and the problem is, the headline makes you think something is dodgy, even though there isn’t.

      I really do wish for some decency and honesty in our politics and media. This utter crap is so destructive.

      She is a politician.

      Required experience: None.

      Required qualifications: None.

      “Economist” isn’t a regulated profession or even a restricted job title. She had a masters in economics, she did a job that presumably took advantage of skills learned during that degree. It’s a fudge but really not a big issue.

      This is the Robbie Gibb school of balance- all scandals are exactly the same size and just as bad as each other. Especially when Labour do small ones and the Conservatives big ones.

      She lied a decade ago on her CV. We don’t require an economist background to be chancellor the same we don’t require a doctor to be head of health. Feels like a very non story

      How fragile is the support in this government if it can be shaken by LinkedIn, really?

      Not just the fake claim she said she was an Economist at HBOS when in fact she was just working in the complaints department. She was involved with dodgy expenses with others signing each others off, she was also lying when there about dentist/doctor appointments to actually go do Labour party stuff. Then on top she had her parliamentary debit/credit card taken off her for mis-use.

      We want this kind of lying person as.chancellor?!? WTF! Labour voters should hang their head in shame!

      What I find interesting is how much of a massive and obvious step down it was to go from an Economist at the Bank of England to working in retail banking at HBOS on the complaints team. That makes absolutely no sense. I don’t see how or why anyone would make that move.

      This is incredibly small potatoes for a political “scandal”. I mean, imagine how many of these headlines would be running on an hourly basis if someone like Boris Johnson ever got to be PM.

    17. Jay_6125 on

      It appears she has been liberal with the truth on multiple occasions.

      If so she has to resign. She’s the chancellor for goodness sake, you can’t lie about your employment history and experience.

    18. Scary-Spinach1955 on

      I mean, it’s not like this is going to be the only thing lied or exaggerated about is it?

      Politics is rotten to it’s very core and she is not qualified for the job but frankly, who has been? In any of those ministerial posts?
