Michelle Mone has accused the chancellor of using “dangerous and inflammatory” language about her, after a company linked to the peer was ordered to repay millions of pounds for breaching a Covid-19 PPE contract.
Mone, who has had the Conservative whip suspended, has faced cross-party calls for her to be stripped of her peerage. At a fringe event this week at Labour’s party conference, Rachel Reeves joked that she had a vendetta against Mone, adding: “Clearly she shouldn’t be in the House of Lords.”
