The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

These accusations amount to political attacks intended to distract from government business, as the reference to being a solicitor was merely shorthand used in non-legal contexts and any misunderstanding was unintentional, with corrections made as soon as the issue was raised. Reynolds will be judged by his actions as Business Secretary, and the notion he might face legal action over an honest mistake is laughable.

Establishment-critical narrative

Reynolds has never had a real job, and deliberately misled the public by falsely claiming to be a qualified solicitor, which constitutes a criminal offense that demands legal consequences through private prosecution. While Labour may wish to adhere to two-tier policing, the Business Secretary should be held accountable against the law like any other British citizen.
