The furore around Rachel Reeves is not going away. Rachel Reeves is such a liar, according to Another Angry Voice.

And the Angry Yorkshireman has his reasons for saying so – first, destroying the claims that there’s nothing to worry about because all the lies were about her employment before she was an MP:

Keir Starmer sent out a spokesperson to try and diffuse the scandal over Reeves litany of lies about her past work experience, and they tried to brush it off by insinuating that it’s irrelevant because it happened “before she was the chancellor”.

Yes, the work experience she was lying about happened before she was chancellor, but that’s barely worth stating, it’s the lies she she kept telling about her past work experience that people are criticising her over, and she maintained these lies throughout her time as Starmer’s shadow chancellor, and into her time as chancellor.

The spokesperson continued by insisting that “the prime minister is very clear that what is most important is having a chancellor who is able to balance the books and who is able to be straight with the public and restore the public finances.”

Who on earth would trust Reeves to be “straight with the public” given her litany of lies about her past experience?

The article goes on to point out that Reeves outright refuses to be straight with the public about the public finances anyway:

You can’t claim to be being honest about the public finances if you’ve had the Institute of Fiscal Studies accuse you of engaging in a “conspiracy of silence” over your plans for the economy.

You can’t claim to be being honest about the public finances if you launch another ruinous round of austerity cuts and insist that it doesn’t count as austerity this time because you’ve changed the name of what you’re doing from “austerity” to “efficiency savings”.

You can’t claim to be honest about restoring the public finances when you openly state that you’re engaged in a “book balancing” exercise. Public finances simply don’t work like the books of a small business or household, and anyone who implies that they do is spreading economically illiterate fairy stories.

Oh, and for good measure:

She also likes to lie about other people.

One of her most egregious lies was the claim that Jamie Driscoll was purged from the ballot to stand for Mayor of the North East because he supposedly “shared a platform with people who had been expelled from the Labour Party for antisemitism” when in reality Starmer’s goons used his appearance at a film festival alongside celebrated film director Ken Loach as an excuse to block him, purely because he was from the Labour left they were (and are) fighting a bitter factional battle with.

It’s absurd that Reeves thought she had a leg to stand on when it came to falsely accusing others of antisemitism, given that she dedicated so much effort to celebrating and sanitising the political record Nancy Astor, who was one of Britain’s most hateful and notorious antisemites.

In conclusion:

There’s a culture of impunity in this country for political liars, and Reeves is well aware of it. She knows that the worst she’s ever likely to face is a few negative headlines and awkward questions, then it’s back to telling even more barefaced lies to the public.

You’d have to be profoundly gullible to accept anything she says at face value.
