Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds apologises for saying he worked as a solicitor before he became an MP, after being accused of misrepresenting his legal career. Reynolds has previously described himself as a solicitor but he never qualified, after quitting his legal training to run for Parliament in 2010. He told the Guardian that he had “used shorthand” in a speech “over a decade ago”. The Conservatives and Reform UK are urging Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to sack Reynolds from his cabinet role. The BBC has been told Reynolds has written to Sir Keir to apologise and the prime minister has accepted his apology.
