Welcome to Planet Gordo
Charlie Marks, one of the only left wingers in England that doesn’t need their head looking into (surgically), has some background information on Liebour’s new poverty adviser.
Jennifer Moses will be advising Gordon Brown on poverty (combatting it, not causing it – he already knows how to do the latter) as part of his Cabinet of all the Talentless.
Ms Moses is the obvious choice for advising the British government on combatting poverty being a multi-millionaire “non-dom”. She lives in a huge £10m mansion in London that’s so large she and her multi-millionaire husband find it easier to email each other in the home than get close enough to shout. Her mansion was paid for with a £10m mortgage from an Isle of Man bank which allows her to be officially classed as a non-domicile, saving her thousands in tax.
This is the most blatantly inappropriate appointment in government I’ve seen since West Midlands Regional Assembly appointed a Birmingham City councillor as its rural affairs advisor. Good to see Liebour are keeping in touch with their socialist roots.

You are too kind, Wonko…
With people like Moses around him, it’s no wonder Brown’s so out of touch with ordinary people on the impact of food inflation, utility bills, and tax hikes!
April 15th, 2008 at 1:39 amThis is the same Jennifer Moses, I take it, from whose husband and another investment banker, an enterprising Goldman-Sachs secretary, Joyti De Laurey, managed to lift £4.5 million WITHOUT THEM NOTICING! (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/secretary-who-had-a-acircpound4m-talent-for-stealing-from-her-superrich-bosses-560718.html)
An excerpt from ‘The Independent’s’ story will enable readers to judge how qualified Ms. Moses is to advise on poverty.
‘Shortly after leaving his post as a managing director of Goldman Sachs, Ron Beller reviewed his private accounts in August 2001. The financier, who is aged 41, found that his investment account was “one or two million light” but could not trace the money and decided he was mistaken. Had Joyti De-Laurey ended her campaign of larceny from her employers at that stage, she might never have been caught.
Mr Beller, the husband of Jennifer Moses, De-Laurey’s original employer at the bank, said in court that he had made “a lot of money” when Goldman Sachs was floated in 1999. But he denied that the £1.1m taken from him and his wife was a “paltry sum” which he had allowed De-Laurey to take.
The trial jury was told that the couple led a wealthy lifestyle with a large house in New York, looked after by housekeepers and landscape gardeners, and were personal shoppers at the exclusive Manhattan store Bergdorf Goodman.
JENNIFER MOSES
When she was approached by her secretary in November 2000 with a request for a house loan, Mrs Moses had little hesitation in handing £40,000 to Joyti De-Laurey. The 42-year-old former managing director at Goldman Sachs had built up a close relationship with her personal assistant since her role as a temp was converted into a permanent post in 1999.

That’s the one. The Cabinet of All the Talentless.
