Bra tycoon Michelle Mone has been urged to quit the House of Lords for good after taking a “leave of absence” amid accusations over PPE contracts. And Tory leader Rishi Sunak was last night branded “weak” for his failure to strip Baroness Mone of the Tory whip at Westminster.
The Scottish entrepreneur is facing allegations she and her family received nearly £29million from a government PPE contract she recommended to ministers. Labour MP Ian Murray said: “If these allegations prove correct she should resign."
He added: "The circumstances surrounding these PPE contracts gets murkier by the day, and Michelle Mone’s departure raises fresh questions for the government. Labour are forcing a vote on this issue in parliament as we need to get these documents out in the open so we can find out what went wrong and who was responsible.
