Science secretary Peter Kyle was put under pressure during the morning media round over reports that the online CV of Rachel Reeves contained inaccuracies after another round of media speculation about the chancellor’s career prior to entering politics.
Duties on Colombia were shelved when it agreed to accept military aircraft carrying deported immigrants; duties on Canada and Mexico have been repeatedly delayed; and modified duties on steel and aluminum, announced earlier this week, will not be enforced until next month.
Unfortunately, the reporting has been totally inaccurate, and we heard yesterday that the person who was actually head of HR at that bank at that time says it’s untrue, said that she never, ever receive a file on Rachel Reeves.
The science secretary said the government would assess ‘any changes and challenges’ to the global economy caused by the US administration.
He told BBC Breakfast “What you’re talking about here is something that Rachel has already addressed, and it is someone on her team set up a LinkedIn profile, and they got the dates out by a few months actually.”.
