PMQs: Rishi Sunak 'absolutely shocked' by Michelle Mone revelations
During PMQs, Rishi Sunak told MPs he was 'absolutely shocked' to read the Guardian's investigation into Tory peer Michelle Mone.

It was revealed Mone profited millions from government Covid contracts after she lobbied ministers on behalf of Medpro and LFI Diagnostics. It has since been revealed LFI Diagnostics was an entity of office that manages wealth of her husband, Douglas Barrowman. The PM assured the house 'there is a process to follow' after Mone took a leave of absence with an immediate effect in order to 'clear her name'.

Graham Turner. And you know this how exactly ? ? People were desparate for PPE. single tender action was the way to go and, some bad choices were made. If the EU procurement directives had been followed (as an example) - for multi million pound Government procurements, a nine month lead time would've ensued before a contract was even placed !

I’m shocked that everyone else has finally found out what I’ve known all along
Sunak knows. He knows. And he probably knows more than he wouldn't bring up unless it becomes public knowledge. Yet we keep voting for these kind of people
Is he a bit dim or something? All the rest of us were just waiting for someone to start to hold these people to account as it was clear at the time that dodgy deals were being done outside the official government procurement process. All kinds of government handouts were made to random business people with no track record in the area that they were being paid to work in. Some deals were probably justifiable but some very likely were not.

"Absolutely shocked" he is having a laugh!
When is the current prime minister going to accept that Keir Starmer is right, instead of justifying his ineptitude by claiming to have been equally surprised by someone from his party stealing millions of pounds while the country was in a state of fear? Little Rishi was on the front bench at the time, as chancellor. He should have known exactly where the big money was coming from and going to. Bad grammar, sorry.
Who is still voting Tory at this stage? The real question is who started voting Tory at all? Its not like we do not have plenty of previous generations and a long history of Tory corruption to look back on...

Did he say billions for those struggling to keep warm ? If so, can you explain why anyone should get a bill for a year ? How many thousands of millions are in a billion? one thousand million
Sunak signed off on the money that went to baroness of 'knickers and knicking' Mone which was just a part of a wider funnelling of state assets to associates and backers of the government and Tory party. Sunak showed a lot of what is wrong with our parliamentary system when he couches his answer on terms of what was wrong with Keir Starmer.
Yip ....And nobody goes to jail.
Well I am shocked. It's just unbelievable. Surely this cannot be true, they have no track record for corruption do they?

The truth is they got £60 million profit and £202 million into there company.

This PPE corruption has cost the country more and whats worse is that the money could be recovered but the tories are refusing to do that. Instead they are paying £700,000 per day to store useless PPE
If he was shocked , he should do something about it , and get an investigation going with the view of prosecution and if found guilty jailed for corruption theft of tax payers money . While thier at it have an investigation into the S N P .
more of a oh please dont tell people what they already know and arent supposed to believe
This is the feeble end to a now transparently feeble party. May the Tory party never again hold power.

The normal procedure is for the whip to be withdrawn at the start of an investigation. This investigation started a year ago and now she's decided herself to take a leave of absence. That's not normal and suggests she's holding serious power over someone. It's also not allowed for her to take leave of absence while under investigation as that would technically stop the investigation
Rishi is awesome !! Wait and watch he will fix everything in our Country.
Shocked that she got caught just like this little tax-avoiding creep
So your going after michelle mone,does that mean your going to go after the rest.???
So when is he gonna mandate curry??..
im sick and tired of keir starma saying "tax payers money" when he'd happily allow millions of pounds to be spend on illegal immigrants
Rishi is a slippery eel isn’t he
i can understand that in the early days of the pandemic taking its grip that both the Government and Whitehall were willing to accept any offers of help to provide PPE and with the best of intentions, relaxing the rules and being more flexible. Japan also, which is extremely rigid and inflexible in its approach to rules, suddenly became more flexible. So much so, that as a 31 year Japan resident, I found it both surprising and refreshing. However, it is abundantly clear that more than a few in the UK Government and Whitehall, went well beyond being practical and flexible and sought to line their pockets with gold. Absolutely disgraceful and makes a mockery of those who simply helped to fast track a normally lengthy process in order to help others. Yes, despite the obvious corruption and cronyism, I still believe that many simply used their MP privileges (of any party) to help the country,

sunak was borrowing the money and handing it out - obviously without any safeguards - but then we all knew that - glad someone's been caight - but he should also pay the price.................
He’s lying
Absolutely shocked that Sunak devoted an entire 10 seconds to this before moving on to the topic of the failure of the opposition 🤣
She’s got a fantastic set of tats on her though
I have never seen a PM shown so little empathy. Racism is a real thing folks- don't criticize him due to his identity. How cheap has politics become? VERY. Btw Kier Starmer is pretentious.
Torys are on borrowed time
not as shocked when the truth came out about nondom wife
this is outrageous yet again more conservative gov failings the conservative party should be abolished by law and disbanded
First of many
Political theatre from rats in a barrel.
Michelle gave hundreds of pounds to charity when she was just a multy millionare when she was made a lord she gave hundreds of pounds to charity 2
The smirk says it all. A bit of a scandal that will go nowhere while Mone’s and her family’s bank accounts have swollen inordinately. I can’t even accept a pen from a customer but these can reap millions from an engineered pandemic. If this were you or I, prison sentences would be handed out. I’m absolutely sick of the contempt of this government.
