What we've learned about Rachel Reeves's expenses - and the Labour response
Rachel Reeves had exaggerated her online CV and had been investigated over her use of expenses while working at Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS), Labour colleagues have mounted a robust defence of the chancellor
Sir Keir Starmer said she had "dealt with any issues that arise" from the questions about her CV, and Health Secretary Wes Streeting Newsnight that she was doing a "brilliant and difficult job".But Labour figures have questioned our reporting on the expenses investigation, with one cabinet minister calling it totally inaccurate.
Here we examine the key Labour responses and look at the evidence that supports our journalism.What did we reveal about Reeves's expenses aised about Reeves's expenses while working at HBOS between 2006 and 2009.
A detailed six-page whistleblowing complaint was submitted, with dozens of pages of supporting documents including emails, receipts and memos.It accused Reeves and two other managers, one of whom was her boss, of using the bank's money to "fund a lifestyle", with spending on events, taxis and gifts, including for each other.
We have seen these documents and spoken to more than 20 people, many of whom were former colleagues.
