Who is Michelle Mone? Ex Tory peer hits out at Rishi Sunak after interview admission
Baroness Michelle Mone has hit out at the prime minister after he said he was taking the scandal surrounding her involvement with a PPE firm “incredibly seriously”.
The former Conservative peer admitted in an interview on the Laura Kuenssburg show on Sunday that she had been untruthful when she denied a connection to Medpro.
However, on Monday, Baroness Mone tweeted in response to the PM’s claims, saying Rishi Sunak “knew all about” her involvement with the company and her connections.
Her husband, Doug Barrowman, has links to Medpro, which was awarded contracts worth £203 million in May and June 2020.
In the lead-up to this, Baroness Mone approached ministers, including , to promote the company while Mr Barrowman made a £170,000 donation to the Tories.
