This article was first published in May 2024 and included dates taken from Rachel Reeves’s LinkedIn profile, which the Bank of England had confirmed matched her employment there. It has since transpired that the month Ms Reeves left the Bank was incorrect on LinkedIn: December 2006, rather than her actual final employment date in March 2006. Responding to the discrepancy, the Bank said it had only confirmed the years of the Chancellor’s employment, rather than the exact month she left. The article has been updated to reflect this.
A social media user has claimed that shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves only “briefly” worked at the Bank of England.
