Someone is out to get Rachel Reeves. “I don’t know what they are saying and of course none of them have gone on the record,” she said on Friday, after reports that her expenses claims were investigated when she worked at Halifax Bank of Scotland before she became an MP.
The latest report included the story of a bottle of champagne bought on expenses for a colleague, which was allegedly never received. Reeves said she “submitted and had her expenses signed off in the proper way”, and that “no one ever raised any concerns about my expenses” when she was there.
