Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said he is “shocked” by allegations surrounding Tory peer Baroness Mone and contracts handed out during the pandemic.
He also said she no longer has the Conservative whip amid claims she and her children benefited from huge profits made by a PPE firm.
Mone’s political career is in jeopardy over her links to PPE Medro, which secured more than £200m to supply equipment in the early days of the pandemic.
