“This Is Obscenity” | Rod Liddle Slams Government For 'Awarding' PPE Deal To Michelle Mone
The Sun’s columnist Rod Liddle reacts to Baroness Michelle Mone’s interview in which she admitted benefiting from a deal between the Government and PPE firm.
“They were hiving off lucrative contracts to their mates,” he says.
The interview, on the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme, saw Lady Mone admit she did not tell the truth about her links to the PPE firm - while insisting that she and her husband have “no case to answer”.

True. As the guest here says, the basic idea of a VIP lane is in itself not the issue. It's just in this case, the parameters for being a VIP were classic Tory. . VIP companies should have been those companies that could bang out decent PPE, in bulk, at short notice, for a little bit of profit. But no. They chose to read VIP as those companies that could rinse as much profit as possible out of the job. I wonder if Gove 'forgot' to tell them to behave like decent human being, so they defaulted to their usual gutter level default? I was working in ITU during the pandemic. We had lical packaging companies supplying us with half decent PPE....for free! We had a local gin distillery giving us hand gel....for free! If someone had said, 'Hey, we are going to put these companies on a VIP track. They normally make boxes and gin, but shall we reward them for stepping up by giving them a contract?'. I would have been more thsn happy with that.
It may not be illegal ……..but is certainly IMMORAL!!……..She and her friends should have their Damehoods/Sirhoods stripped from them!!!
The best car crash interview I've ever seen.
She and her husband are despicable, did you hear him actually say "when you are in a privileged position to make money what else would you do"? How did she ever get into the house of Lords? But nothing will happen to her I am sure of that. Oh yes, Labour will throw insults in the house of commons but they will hold short of asking for any serious action to be taken. Why? Because they do exactly the same! Politics now is basically where rich people go to get ridiculously rich and make life for the plebs even worse.

Privatisation has achieved its own unstoppable momentum - if its private it must be better. Plus Gove and the rest of them saw a golden opportunity, with little or no oversight, to bung their chums huge bundels of public money.
I'm only surprised that people are surprised. There's nothing new about any of this. The system is rotten to core and always has been. A completely new systemic model needs to be enforced.
Can we . The public have our money back. Might she consider going to prison.
The look on the female presenter's face when Rod said making millions out of PPE was an obscenity. Yes love, it's an obscenity to enrich yourself out of a pandemic.
How about Matt Hancocks pub landlord who also received a contract.
Liar liar liar, no good trying to flower it up, she’s a liar and is likely still lying 😡😡
I was shocked when Ms Mone was put into the House of Lords. Perhaps she thought that position would protect her.

Labour hasn’t been in power for nearly 14 years - how are they to blame?
At the start of Covid, UK suppliers contacted the government for contracts for PPE and were turned down in favour of their mates who procured substandard junk from outside the UK. That's a pretty bad investment. Workers in the UK would have spent their wages back into the economy. Instead, suppliers outside the UK made profit and the ill gotten gains of this despicable pair would be hidden offshore.
Ultimo was founded by Michelle Mone's wealthy stockbroker and privately educated first husband Michael. After a short time Ultimo became insolvent and Michael's wealthy friends Grabiner (CEO of Philip Green's Arcadia/ Top Shop) and Hunter (billionaire retailer) took control of the company. They got the Ultimo bra into their shops and the firm made a small profit on it's £10m annual turnover for a few years before they sold their shares back to the Mones. Michael sold his shares to Ultimo's overseas supplier in Sri Lanka and left Michelle for their designer. The firm became loss making again and finally Michelle's minority shareholding shares were swapped in a debt for equity deal with their Asian supplier leaving MIchelle broke. All other business ventures she tried were also failures. No business success whatsoever.

Thousands of people offered them PPE Including me They didnt want any PPE
Just proves the biggest criminals wear business suits not tattoos
🦉🐯 My understanding of the "law" states that this type of criminal activity if proved ends with a long custodial sentence. Remember a case of a young man arrested for stealing small items, like razor blades from a shop, who ended up in a young offenders prison in Feltham, but never made it out alive.
