Michelle Mone has admitted that she stands to benefit from tens of millions of pounds of profit from personal protective equipment (PPE) sold to the UK government during the pandemic by a company led by her husband, Doug Barrowman.
But a defiant Baroness Mone said: "I don't honestly see there is a case to answer. I can't see what we have done wrong."
PPE Medpro was awarded government contracts worth more than £200 million to supply PPE to the NHS during the pandemic through a so-called "VIP lane", introduced to help the government choose between huge numbers of supplier offers.
It's an incredible lack of awareness, or just a massive brass neck. She's a lot like that character in Squid Game: The Challenge that we have just finished watching who refused to play her part in the glass bridge and then just lied and tried to shift the blame later.
