Not good enough for America. More than good enough for the Starmer regime.
Sir Keir Starmer has appointed the former head of a US university who was forced to quit over an anti-Semitism scandal as his chief economic adviser.
Minouche Shafik, who also briefly served as deputy governor of the Bank of England, will join No 10’s top team at a critical moment as the Prime Minister battles to boost the economy and avert a fiscal crisis.
During a US Congress hearing in the months prior to her resignation, she was accused by Republican committee chairman Virginia Foxx of allowing the New York-based university to become “a hotbed of anti-Semitism and hatred”.
Minouche Shafik had been accused of plagiarism so I hope she can quickly plagiarize some economic plans to save the corrupt Starmer government.
Columbia University criticized a plagiarism allegation levied against its president, calling the claim “absurd.”
Yale University Professor Ahmed Mobarak accused President Minouche Shafik of “wholesale intellectual theft,” in reference to a 30-year-old paper that is almost identical to a study she co-authored in 1992.
The 1992 report is called “Economic Growth and Environmental Quality: Time Series and Cross-Country Evidence” and the 1994 paper is titled “Economic Development and Environmental Quality: An Econometric Analysis.”
The papers are by far Shafik’s most cited. The 1992 one has been cited 2,816 times per Google Scholar data, the 1994 one 2407. The next most cited comes in at 115. The majority of Shafik’s work has been cited less than one hundred times.
On the bright side, Shafik will now be working for the Starmer regime which can arrest anyone who criticizes it. So probably best not to mention it if you’re on the other side of the paper curtain.
Nobody can say that the UK does not have two pieces of Schiff to rub together.
How much does she get paid now? Well, probably enough to live on 🙂
When leftists get fired, they often get a promotion from their leftist cronies.
Keir Starmer is such a dhimmi loser.
The way the UK is going they should probably erect a special University for all of the idiot American professors in this country who are Jew hatin’ anti-semites. We can call it the Academic Muslim Enema Parade.
If the UK wasn’t already making life hard for the People with Open Borders now its this
Is that a nose on her face or a dick?” It isn’t Jimmy Durante big but it’s pretty big. She looks like a camel and with her Hawkenah name, I’m not surprised.
Good thing she left America and went to Britain. Now you have to deal with her, Una!
lol
We could fund an American University in Britain for leftist American professors.
Don’t the British have a system to just run the guy out of office and “elect” another PM? Isn’t there enough evidence that Starmer is NOT the answer – unless the question is “who’s the best person to finally take England down the road to no return”!!
Thieves and degenerates call on their own ilk to work for them – This will send the UK into a crashing spiral and stammering Starmer will call on President Trump who will tell him to pound sand and then the UK citizens will revolt which is what this is going to take for all the nonsense happening in the UK government top down.
Maybe save taxes by getting rid of the symbolic monarchy.
