Nothing to do with me, said Baroness Mone.

Well!

Who could have seen that coming?

"In December 2020, a lawyer instructed by Mone and Barrowman said “any suggestion of an association” between the Tory peer and PPE Medpro would be “inaccurate”, “misleading” and “defamatory”.

It's in scenarios like this I wish I was someone who got invited on tv progs like QT, cause if this came up I'd be able to use the nickname 'phoney Mone-y' when referring to her.

She's a perfect example of various things that are wrong with our political system. Baroness Mone, ha ha HAaaa. As of December 2022 she had averaged 2.5 days per month in the house of lords. Not sure how this compares to others.

You find the wasted money on PPE boring yet rage against the costs to the nation of lockdown - why this is, Sir Goober, why?

The others call her the workaholic.

The outgoing PM honours list system needs scrapped altogether, not revised, scrapped.

The others call her the workaholic.

I bet she worked furiously to get that £60 million into her coffers.

I suspect not. She’s a Tory, what do you expect.
