Rachel Jane Reeves (* 13. Februar 1979 in Lewisham) ist eine Ökonomin, britische Politikerin der Labour Party und seit 2010 Member of Parliament.
Leben
Rachel Reeves wuchs als Tochter von Lehrern auf. Sie ist die Schwester von Ellie Reeves.
Reeves spielt Schach und war als Schülerin britische U14-Meisterin.[1][2]
Sie studierte am New College (Oxford) um anschließend einen MSc-Abschluß in Ökonomie an der London School of Economics zu erlangen. Sie arbeitete als Ökonomin bei der Bank of England und von 2000 bis 2006 bei der Britischen Botschaft in Washington, D.C..[3] Reeves wechselte 2006 zur HBOS nach Leeds.[4]
Reeves ist verheiratet mit Nick Joicey, der im Department for Work and Pensions arbeitet. Sie haben eine Tochter und einen Sohn.
Politische Karriere
She joined the Labour Party at the age of sixteen.[5]
Bei der Britische Unterhauswahl 2005 kandidierte Reeves als Kandidat der Labour Party im Wahlkreis Bromley and Chislehurst und belegte den zweiten Platz. Bei der Nachwahl 2006 im selben Wahlkreis belegte sie einen schlechten vierten Platz.[6][7][8] The result was the worst performance for a governing party since 1991.[9][10]
She was once interviewed for a job at Goldman Sachs, but turned it down although the job could have made her "a lot richer".[2] She later sought nomination for the Leeds West seat at the 2010 general election,[11] seeking to replace John Battle, who had chosen to retire.[12] She was selected to contest the seat from an all-women shortlist of Labour Party prospective parliamentary candidates.[13]
Echoing similar titles of publications by Roy Jenkins in 1959 and Tony Wright in 1997, Reeves wrote the new edition of Why Vote Labour? in the run-up to the 2010 general election, as part of a series giving the case for each of the main political parties.[14] On 12 July 2017, Reeves was elected chair of the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee.[15]
Parliamentary career
Reeves was elected with a majority of 7,016 on 6 May 2010—a 5,794 reduction in the majority enjoyed by Battle—[16] and became only the second woman to represent a Leeds constituency. In early 2017, she completed and published a biography of Alice Bacon,[17][18] who was the first such woman (having represented Leeds North East and then Leeds South East between 1945 and 1970).[19]
In her maiden speech, delivered on 8 June 2010,[20] Reeves praised the work of her predecessor John Battle, and pledged to fight for jobs, growth and prosperity for Leeds West.[20] She also pledged to follow in Battle's footsteps and fight for justice for the victims of the Armley asbestos disaster and their families. In a series of questions in Parliament, she enquired whether the government would honour promises by the previous government to compensate victims of asbestos diagnosed with pleural plaques, and bring legislation into force making it easier to pursue claims against insurers.[21]
Following the 2010 election, she supported Ed Miliband for the Labour leadership, because she felt he was the candidate most willing to listen to what the voters were saying about where the party went wrong.[22] After becoming an MP, Reeves was appointed to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills Select Committee[23] then as Shadow Pensions Minister in October 2010.[24] In her role as Shadow Pensions Minister, she campaigned against the Government's proposed acceleration of equalising state pensions ages for men and women.[25] She was promoted to the post of Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury in October 2011.[26][27] She caused controversy in early 2015 by stating "We [Labour] don’t want to be seen, and we're not, the party to represent those who are out of work".[28]
Reeves has been named by The Guardian newspaper as being one of several MPs who employ unpaid interns, a practice that some maintain may breach the National Minimum Wage Act 1998.[29] The Independent has named Reeves as a member of a group of new Labour MPs known as the "Nando's Five":[30] the others being Luciana Berger, Jonathan Reynolds, Emma Reynolds and Chuka Umunna.
In September 2016, she described her constituency as being "like a tinderbox" that could explode if immigration was not curbed.[31]
In September 2017, the conservative commentator Iain Dale placed Reeves at Number 94 on his list of the '100 most influential people on the Left', down ten places on the previous year.[32]
Policy stances
Reeves has written a study about the financial crisis of 2007–2010 for the Fabian Review, Institute of Public Policy Research,[33] Socialist Environment and Resources Association,[34] and the European Journal of Political Economy.[35] Following her election as MP, Reeves wrote about the direction of UK government fiscal policy in Renewal. In an article entitled "The Politics of Deficit Reduction",[36] Reeves offers her critique of the current financial situation and efforts to bring down the budget deficit.
She is a proponent of quantitative easing[37] to alleviate the late-2000s recession, having studied the effects of the policy on Japan in the early 2000s.[38]
Reeves supports the High Speed 2 rail project,[39] and raised the issue in the House of Commons,[40] as well as campaigning for the proposed Kirkstall Forge railway station.[41] She is also involved in the campaign to save the historic Bramley Baths[42][43] and the campaign to save the children's heart unit at Leeds General Infirmary.[44]
A supporter of Israel, Reeves belongs to, and has held office in, Labour Friends of Israel.[45] She contributed a chapter to a book about Israeli politics and society,[46] and she is a keen supporter of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.[47]
Reeves regularly contributes articles to publications such as the website LabourList,[48] Progress[49] and The Guardian’s Comment is Free.[50]
