...So lets put her in charge of the country's finances! What could go wrong?

[youngmafbog]

A liar and a cheat.

Perfect for the Labour front bench, fits in nicely.

First woman chancellor y'know. Her boss is the son of a tool maker.

Gross incompetence shown in hiring her, and utter stupidity displayed in not firing her for lying. (Other reasons are available)

[youngmafbog]

He wont get rid of her just yet, she will be the fall guy.

[ToraToraTora]

Well his dad certainly made a tool!

[Old_Geezer]

Oh... i wondered what the last word of the title was going to be.

Reminds me - I once asked someone to find the file for Mr Stammer. She came back saying she couldn't find it. I repeated the name she said "Oh, I was looking for SPANNER - like a tool!"🤣

For amyone who didn't or hasn't time to read the BBC piece:

Reeves bought birthday presents for colleagues with HBOS's money throughout her time in Customer Relations, receipts show, with purchases including wine and cosmetics. Some were bought using a Motivation card, while others were reimbursed through an expenses claim.

She also spent £152 on a handbag and perfume as a present for her boss using the bank's money, according to the whistleblower's report. The present was a joint gift from Reeves and one of the other managers who was later investigated alongside her.

And she bought earrings as a present for her PA, which she claimed back on expenses.

Her PA, Linda Barrowclough, said she had received Christmas and birthday gifts from Reeves but had assumed they were "personal gifts [and] they'd have come out of her own pocket".

Reeves also used her Motivation card to spend more than £400 on a leaving meal for a colleague, which the whistleblowing complaint claimed was not a permitted use.

 

[david small]

So basically a crook. Who'd have thought?

Once a thief always a thief. 

[albaqwerty]

Rachel Reeves, Queen of Thieves?

[piggynose]

How much did Partygate cost the tax payer?

Asking for a friend.

[davebro3]

It's costing £300+ a day for Gray's attendance at the Lords!

17:47/18:00 We are talking about fiddling expenses from employers in the private sector. Stay on topic.
