If Mone and her hubby have really done nothing wrong, I suggest they return £59m of the £60m to the taxpayer. They could keep the £1m and live a nice life on that, and they might receive some credit for returning the majority of the taxpayer’s money.

I know I’m being very naive!

Very!!

Fascinating research!

I think it's fair to say the Daily Mail isn't too keen on her.

Barrowman has plenty of "previous", involving that load of b****cks that was some of those schemes telling freelancers about paying less tax, all involving the Knox Group in the I-O-M

More on Michelle Mone.

Interesting that Cameron appointed her as his entrepreneurship tsar. Cameron has history on making such appointments.

On 23 February 2012, Chairman Emma Harrison stepped down from her role as David Cameron's personal adviser on problem families (family tsar), due to her firm being investigated over allegations of multiple fraud.

Throw in the Panama Papers and Greensill and I think we can draw our own conclusions about Cameron.

The Conservative peer Michelle Mone assured the government that she was not entitled to “any financial benefit whatsoever” from a PPE company, five months before £29m of its profits were transferred into a trust for her benefit.

Leaked emails between Mone and the Cabinet Office reveal that a civil servant asked her to make a declaration that she had no conflict of interest in relation to the company, PPE Medpro, which she had recommended to ministers in May 2020.

Mone stated that she had “no conflicts whatsoever” and that she was not “entitled to any financial remuneration or financial benefit whatsoever”.

The civil servant then asked for clarification about the involvement of Mone’s husband, the Isle of Man-based financial services businessman Doug Barrowman. She replied that “Doug is a very philanthropic individual” who “wanted to help the NHS” and was negotiating to lower the prices the government was paying for PPE.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) is conducting a long-running investigation into Mone and Barrowman for potential fraud and bribery offences relating to the procurement of the PPE Medpro contracts. The couple deny any wrongdoing.
