As a woman, I find it disappointing that Caroline Wheeler is framing the Chancellor's gender as a shield against accountability for lying on her CV. Integrity and honesty are fundamental traits for any leader, regardless of gender. If I were in a high government role, I’d expect to be held accountable for such an act. Are we, as women, suggesting that character and transparency matter less for us? That’s not equality-it’s harmful to the progress we’ve made.
It Isn't about the Chancellor's ability or sex, it's really about her deceiving the public. Particularly while claiming others are dishonest and unethical she has been misrepresenting her own professional work history.
Which government didn't lie. There was one party that admitted that if people want things sorted then it will be very expensive. So hardly anybody vote Green. People like lies.
I stopped listening when she played the "she's a woman" card. And she should look at what happened in the American election before doing that again... Democrats calling everyone who didn't vote for Kamala misogynists amazingly didn't work either.
The controversy will mean Reeves is no longer Chancellor when the first reshuffle takes place if it is in the next year. The backbenches beckon. The calibre of the Blairite ascendancy who have been in Parliament for the last 15 years or so is amazing. The Labour front bench is full of ministers who put the Attlee government to shame. Incredible.
If you operated a small business Caroline, you'd know this woman has done the opposite of what Labour say they want. Growth. Labour are intentionally destroying lives & livelihoods. Their choice to give Billions and Billions overseas and borrow hugely. Country is Trillions in debt, yet instead of supporting growth, they batter the productive Private sector, primarily SME, to reward all on the unproductive public purse I don't care if she's a man or woman.

I worked at the Halifax. To claim someone might confuse working with the great unwashed at a contact centre in Leeds with working at hundreds of miles away at plush offices in Edinburgh is laughable. She has lied and been found out. She shouldn't get a chance to resign, she should be recalled.
There is no black hole- it was known about before Labour entered office and could be removed at the stroke of a pen with a few adjustments to the tax codes of the rich.
Its not about her being a woman it is about integrity. We were told Labour was different and when it is found they are not of course it gets blow back.
Wasn't John Major criticised for a very similar misrepresentation of his pre-politics banking career? That was 35 years ago. Plus he's a man, I believe.
The CV is just the start, I see it now transpires that Starmer has let off his rich friends the costs of the NI Increase, LLPs are excemp and who uses them, Lawyers and Solicitors, well there is a surprise !..
Absolute rubbish; with sky high costs for power, the UK is hamstrung before we try. We are doomed. Take a look back over recent history. With better management of the economy excessive costs MUST be eliminated. Its very simple really. 11:54
Alarm bells should always ring when a journalist refers to a politician by the first name causally. "Rachel thinks..." Does she indeed, not the Chancellor or Rachel Reeves, just Rachel.
She got a bit of paper from the LSE, but that doesn't mean that she was ever employed as an economist! If she was, what explanation is there for her dire conduct?
There is no jam tomorrow or financial prudence with Labour - she has torn up the borrowing rules and spending like a drunken sailor on the public sailor
Right, 'tearing up the borrowing rules' is when you measure debt in the same way as the US and most European countries. Net liabilities makes perfect logical sense. Also she said all throughout the election campaign that Labour were willing to borrow to invest.
@@johnhaynes9910 Right, yes. Apparently we now live in a world where using the standard measure for debt in the private sector and across the world's largest economies is exactly the same as cutting taxes with no explanation of where the budgetary shortfall will come from. Not only will investment be more likely to make the money back through growth, but they actually have a mandate to do so. And if you want to hop onto the next thing about gilt yields as @stuartwood5448 did, try actually comparing the 'spike' we saw on Budget Day 2024 to that of Truss' min-budget. If the markets wanted Reeves gone, she'd have been out the following week.
"there was a little bit of a gamble with the budget"?......... "Rachel Reeves has gambled....". These are not the lines that "business" want to hear.....amateurs, playing with the publics money......
Yeah, amazing isn't it, HMT - who effectively drafted the budget in conjunction with the Chancellor - think it's a good plan, yeah, didn't see that coming at all, just.....straight out of left field......whether or not you think this budget will eventually deliver some kind of growth or not - why on earth are you 'surprised ' that HMT are suppirtive of something they co-drafted and effectively signed up to?
She has a lot of credentials. Just not the credentials she told everyone she had. & whenever I have been tempted to make that exaggeration let alone lie on a CV I have made sure that integrity came first; that is what most people do. She made a different choice - to lie. Fine if you get away with it, but as JP Morgan said way back - don’t get caught. She did which makes her not credible. & that’s not acceptable when you are taxing people to the hilt & borrowing hundreds of billions from financial markets.
Why is one Times journalist answering another Times journalist by saying “that’s really good question, and it’s something I’ve been looking into” - couldn’t find a politician to interview so decided to act like one?!
Because it's a radio show? Time Radio and The Sunday Times newspaper are different entities that are under the same umbrella company, one journalist is hosting a show and the other is here just for this segment, and a conversation (as seen in the rise of podcasts) is a really effective way of communicating to an audience.
@ podcasts aren’t one podcaster asking singer unkind podcaster about something, and if they are they’re equally shit. Does Joe rogan interview other podcasters who answer questions in the same inane style as the people they’re talking about? No…
@@tomsmith6882 Yes, he does quite frequently. See all appearances of Brendan Schaub since he left UFC or every comedian from his orbit that he platforms on there. These are actually the appearances that are quantitively the most common formats of his podcast. Listen to any political podcast and it'll be even more common to have two similar people, of two similar backgrounds, and two similar ways of speaking being in conversation with one another.
What the hell is this person chatting? Why mention what a persons sex is? Fact is she lied on her CV, and no matter what sex, race or religion you are, this is major breach of trust and is within the boundaries of dismissal under gross misconduct , do not try and deflect her blatant lie and paint it over with a typical left woke narrative. She should be sacked and she should be shamed in this considering the role she is carrying!

@@catherinemartin6258 I'd expect all politicians to have learnt from that episode. It is even less of an excuse now.
If I lie on a CV, it's fraud and people have been jailed for it.
This woman is totally out of touch with public opinion and another left wing journalist who should find a job with the mirror or BBC
The electorate did not vote right wing .
You lost
You are not mainstream or the majority.
Most people voted liberal left.
Labour made a big deal about honesty in politics when they were dealing with Boris now its come back to bite them on the backside.
She’s more deserving of prison than Peter Lynch was
Not a Single member of Starmers Cabinet have worked in Business.
Reeves must go for lying on CV, so important to tell the truth for this job.
I stopped listening when she played the "she's a woman" card. And she should look at what happened in the American election before doing that again... Democrats calling everyone who didn't vote for Kamala misogynists amazingly didn't work either.
So did I. And I am a woman.

‘Focus on whether she’s good at her job.’ But you didn’t…
It does matter as if she lie about her CV she can lie about a 22 billion black hole!
There is no black hole- it was known about before Labour entered office and could be removed at the stroke of a pen with a few adjustments to the tax codes of the rich.
Funny how they can suddenly tell what a woman is when it comes to deserved scrutiny , utter brain rot
I think you've interviewed an activist rather than a journalist. What a dire assesment.
She lied on her CV, and benefited from the lie. Isn't that fraud?
Its not about her being a woman it is about integrity. We were told Labour was different and when it is found they are not of course it gets blow back.
What sort of financial background do you get in a complaints department of a bank?
“Rachel”
“That’s not the right question to ask”
