Prominent Tory In £29 Million COVID Supplies Scandal

The Guardian reports:

The Conservative peer Michelle Mone and her children secretly received £29 million originating from the profits of a PPE business that was awarded large government contracts after she recommended it to ministers, documents seen by the Guardian indicate.

Lady Mone’s support helped the company, PPE Medpro, secure a place in a “VIP lane” the government used during the coronavirus pandemic to prioritise companies that had political connections. It then secured contracts worth more than £200m.

Documents seen by the Guardian indicate tens of millions of pounds of PPE Medpro’s profits were later transferred to a secret offshore trust of which Mone and her adult children were the beneficiaries.

This is bombshell reporting into what must now be a raging national scandal.

For govt buddies to take many millions from the public purse for unusable equipment during a pandemic when people are dying – and then lie about it…

…is sick and unforgivable. https://t.co/agJEXX5mWf

Yet another shocking example of Tory corruption at the highest level.

Whilst doctors, nurses and key workers were keeping us safe, this Tory government was making corrupt deals for their mates. #GeneralElectionNow https://t.co/NQFrMdYrzN
