BARONESS MONE - UNDERWEAR QUEEN NEEDS TO PAY BACK £143 MILLION
Despite that Baroness Mone denied any wrongdoing and said she “never received a penny” from PPE Medpro, on Wednesday, the company was ordered to pay back £122m + interest to the government after it was found to have breached a contract to supply surgical gowns during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The judge concluded that PPE Medpro had not complied with the legal and regulatory requirements to ensure the gowns, manufactured in China, were certified and validated to be sterile.
In a statement, the company, which was ultimately owned by Mone’s husband, Doug Barrowman, claimed the couple had been made “scapegoats” for the then Conservative government’s overspending on PPE during the pandemic. Mone and Barrowman for years publicly denied through their lawyers that they were involved in PPE Medpro, until in December 2023 they confirmed their involvement and Barrowman said he was the company’s ultimate beneficial owner. Several senior politicians have called for Mone to relinquish her peerage following the high court judgment, including Badenoch and Rachel Reeves, the chancellor.
Well, good luck with all this. Despite that Medpro needs to pay back £122 + interest million that is just a drop in the ocean. During the covid staggering £4 billion was spent for such “dodge businesses” like the deal with Medpro. Therefore, this £143 million is drop in the ocean even more, as the same company Medpro on today’s date has just £700,000 on their accounts.
How the government and Rachel Reeves will tackle this issue is a million $ question. Perhaps the government will dissolve Medpro as they dissolved five companies: Automarket Europe Limited, Integra Group Limited, Maxell Limited, Montana & Montana Limited, and Supermarket Plus Ltd which in comparison to Medpro did nothing wrong and are still being dissolved by the government.
Completely different issue is the Baroness Michelle Mone title. She was given peerage by David Cameron when he was Prime Minister. I am surprised that Kemi Badenoch is so eager to strip her of the title, but Kemi Badenoch has no guts to do this with the David Cameron title “lord” which was given to him by former PM Rishi Sunak.
“Lord” David Cameron should be stripping his title much before Michelle Mone as David Cameron was involved in one of the UK biggest financial frauds - Greensill scandal, not to mention deals with China and rest. Make no mistake, Michelle Mone(y) is just a drop in the ocean which will be forgotten quickly.
Just another gimmicks from both parties - the Labour and the Conservative.
