Isn’t it odd there’s suddenly an ‘administrative error’ on Jonathan Reynold’s LinkedIn?
One might almost think it has been conveniently noticed in order to make the mistakes on Rachel Reeves’s cv look more commonplace and therefore more permissible.
Or perhaps it is simply that the press pack has got its knives out and has found fresh meat to sink them into.
This time the alleged offender is Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds.

And here‘s the BBC to explain – albeit a little unclearly:
Reynolds has previously said he worked as a solicitor at a law firm in Manchester before becoming an MP but he had quit his legal training to run for Parliament in 2010 and never qualified.
The cabinet minister had been described as a solicitor on his LinkedIn profile but the BBC has been told this was an an “administrative error” that has been corrected.
The updated profile says Reynolds was a “trainee solicitor” at the Manchester branch of the Addleshaw Goddard law firm between August 2009 and May 2010.
It previously stated he was both a “trainee solicitor” and a “solicitor”.
Labour sources have suggested Reynolds does not manage the LinkedIn profile.
Oh, so the error was somebody else’s fault, then? Could it have been the same person who made the “administrative error” in Rachel Reeves’s LinkedIn profile?
This is looking increasingly like an attempt to have her excused, rather than to crucify Reynolds.
Still, the Tories and Reform UK are trying to force an apology and resignation out of him, citing instances when he said he was a “solicitor”, rather than a “trainee solicitor” in Parliament. These could have been slips of the tongue, if we were feeling charitable enough to suggest it.
Either way, Labour seems to be falling victim to a large number of “administrative errors”.
I wonder if party apparatchiks are even now combing through every other MP’s only profiles, desperately hoping to find more mistakes before the press do.
