“Nothing She Says Now Can Be Taken Seriously” Baroness Mone Admits Lying Over PPE Contract Links
Baroness Michelle Mone has admitted she did not tell the truth about her links to PPE firm Medpro, but insisted that she and her husband have “no case to answer”.
The company is currently being investigated by the National Crime Agency, while the Department of Health and Social Care has since issued breach of contract proceedings over a 2020 deal on the supply of gowns.
But in her first major broadcast interview since the scandal emerged, Lady Mone insisted that lying to the media is “not a crime”.
It comes after she admitted she stands to benefit from a deal between the Government and the firm, which was awarded contracts worth more than £200 million to supply personal protective equipment after she recommended it to ministers.
TalkTV’s Kevin O’Sullivan and Alex Phillips are joined by former ministerial aide Leon Emirali and deputy leader of Reform UK Ben Habib to discuss the story.
Ben says: “Nothing she says now can be taken seriously. She’s a self-admitted liar and there’s no coming back from that!”

“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
I think in the very early days of when the ‘fast track PPE lane’ was being scrutinised by the Press and it was first intimated that Baroness Mone was involved it was said that her private secretary (or similar individual) had resigned and set up a Limited company with £100 to provide PPE and that Mone had merely ‘suggested he could help’. She denied any part in the Company claiming the man had resigned before he registered his new company. In truth it was opportunistic from the very start. Her husband is a billionaire, she is a multi-millionaire and still they are greedy for more. Shame on them.
What about Boris who handed the contract to her

She should have qualified the statement of "it's not against the law to lie" with, when in the public space - everyone indulges in it from advertisers to sales people and celebrities (think of the Sussex duo). However, in a court of law there are penalties for perjury. She is splitting hairs as politicians are want to do.

Jeez, Protecting her family, from what exactly ?, Prince Andrew has now moved to 3rd place in cringeworthy 'car crash' interviews, with Hannah Ingram Moore in 2nd place, & now this tops ALL of them, its going to be very difficult to shift Mone from the top spot, i hope that she gets punished for her, lies, fraud, conflict of interests, greed, & utter despicable attitude of entitlement, saying that 'I have done nothing wrong', disgraceful.

If Mone was indeed trying to protect her family (more likely herself), she should have responded to press questions with the stock, 'no comment'. To lie and, when found out, simply say, 'lying isn't a crime' demostrates her breathtaking selfishness, and her willingness to exploit both taxpayers and her position in The Upper Chamber for mercenary purposes. If any mechanism exists to expel her permanently from The House of Lords and to deprive her of any more associated 'perks', it must be implemented irrespective of whether the criminal investigation finds against 'The Baroness'.

She “didn’t lie” but went to pizza express instead….Yeah ok ! 🥴👍
Yeh! Its a crime against the people.
So this is what a high moral member of society looks like, are all people in the Lords of the same outstanding character with such a high moral compass. Maybe they should be saying something to the press about how they feel insulted by the presence of such an outstanding member of their elite club.
And what has King 👑 Charles got to say about it after all his mother dished out the Lady title to her as a reward for Moans British nationalist stance during the the Scottish Independence election?

It is for the police to decide if a crime may have been committed and for the courts to decide if they are guilty as charged. The person accused does not get to decide if they have committed the crime, but obviously they can claim innocence. Unfortunately we see this so many times every year with politicians and Private Eye is good at exposing them, so it must be common when a newspaper is dedicated to that activity.

She should join the Mexican Crime Sindicate "El Poncho" which is twinned with the Scottish National Party.
If she hated the intrusion after she entered the Lords then why didn’t she simply give up the title and leave, she’s using this as an excuse for lying saying she and her family were under constant attack. If it was that bad and she wanted to protect her family she could have walked away, she didn’t because it helped keep her sticky fingers in the money making pies.
All those millions and her husband can't afford a shirt that fits around his belly.😂😂😂
Leave the House of Lords and pay back the money. Stop lying to yourself.
Is this a conflict of interest which is wrong in law. It should be made to be paid back with a fine.
Now you know why they massively exaggerated the dangers....to profit personally.

Yeah. Technically, lying to the press to conceal the fact that you were profiteering from the pandemic isn’t a crime. It’s not very good but not a crime.
