Why is the BBC staying silent on Reeves’s CV claims?

Rachel Reeves remains in the spotlight after weeks of scrutiny over her rather curious CV claims. Mr S documented the full timeline of events on Tuesday and it is really quite something – with the Chancellor’s former role at Halifax Bank of Scotland first coming under scrutiny before attention was drawn to previous assertions she’d made about how long she spent at the Bank of England. The whole matter has caused such a stir that shadow paymaster general Richard Holden has now written to Reeves with a warning that ‘the allegations that your CV might not be accurate…would raise significant concerns about your ability to be honest with the British public.’ Indeed.

The issue has received widespread coverage from political news outlets – including the Sunday Telegraph, Guido Fawkes, the Sun, the Daily Mail, the Express and GB News – as one might expect. Yet interestingly one rather prominent public broadcaster seems to be keeping schtum on the matter.
