More than 130,000 people have backed a call for Tory peer Michelle Mone to be kicked out of the Lords and repay £29million of taxpayers’ cash over coronavirus kit.
Leaked documents suggest an offshore trust linked to Baroness Mone received the money, which seems to have originated as profits from more than £200million in Covid-19 PPE deals she promoted through the Government’s VIP lane.
Some of the protection gear was later found to be faulty, though the company Baroness Mone recommended to the Government, Medpro, insisted its gowns passed technical inspections and met contractual requirements.
