EXCL: Tory peer Michelle Mone secretly received £29m from profits of PPE business awarded large government contracts after she recommended it to ministers - incredible investigative journalism from @david_conn theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/n…
Documents seen by @guardian indicate tens of millions of pounds of profits from PPE Medpro, which she helped secure a place in “VIP lane”, were later transferred to secret offshore trust of which Mone and adult children were beneficiaries.
@PippaCrerar @david_conn Let's not forget - Mone recommended PPE Medpro to Michael Gove via private email. They were awarded lucrative contracts through the unlawful VIP lane. They made profit of some £76 million on PPE that failed inspection and couldn't be used by the NHS Rotten, from beginning to end
@PippaCrerar @david_conn 15% commission seems reasonable when compared to the Blair foundations connections to NHS PFI contracts. Perhaps @david_conn would care to investigate.
@PippaCrerar @david_conn How come we are still stuck with this lot? How utterly undemocratic.
@PippaCrerar @david_conn “Baroness Mone did not declare any interest as she did not benefit financially & was not connected to PPE Medpro in any capacity” But, millions of pounds from PPE Medpro, were later transferred to secret offshore trust of which Mone and her adult children were beneficiaries .
@PippaCrerar @RosieSwan14 @david_conn Despicable. Clearly a one track mind - how much can I get? It's probably been the source of her success...greed, but right now, it looks like it will be her downfall.
@PippaCrerar @david_conn Lots of speculation in this article, surely quality journalism would cite the evidence for full public scrutiny?
@PippaCrerar @david_conn I hope Michelle Mone doesn’t do one, she needs to be investigated!
