Michelle Mone's husband Barrowman has issued a "statement" this morning after @thetimes report showing the National Crime Agency is investigating a £3 million payment into Mone's Coutts bank account, which would prove her direct benefit from the PPE Medpro contract as well as indirectly through trusts.
The statement is full of "look over there", fundamental lies (we saved the govt £100 million - they didn't) & obfuscation. Who'd have thought it?
Obfuscation is where he doesn't mention that he didn't declare his interest on company filings- nowhere on the Companies House declarations at the time.
She didn't declare her interest on official documents, she lied consistently (par for the course), threatened press with libel, lied to her lawyers, lied about her lawyers "they told me to lie" - they didn't.
Now their defence about getting £65 million profit and pandemic profiteering is saying
"I'm not the only one who robbed the public, they're picking on me, it's not fair"
There is so much which needs to be investigated with other companies too. We've been saying this for a long time.
@RachelReevesMP has promised a Covid CORRUPTION Commissioner to investigate them if Labour win the next election.
More to follow with data.....
Don't forget to follow "The VIP Files" with @GoodLawProject and I here.
We have access to huge amounts of data through FOIs and are putting it together about numerous contracts given through the infamous VIP Lane.
It's a Tory mess which stinks and they're still trying to hide a lot of the evidence.

On Mon the new Ofgem Apr-Jul Energy Price Cap's announced. Yet in practice it's likely to be not hugely impactful as currently
- It's GOVT THAT SETS ENERGY PRICES
- And GOVT plans to INCREASE EM 20% in Apr (I'm campaigning for it not to)
Let me explain..

Actually, @RishiSunak, I’d say that the people who “have received the most support from this Govt over past 18 months”…
…are the PPE contractor chums who received £15bn for £2.5bns worth of PPE - and bought mansions for it - or T&T consultants on £7K/day…
…not the poor.
@NicholaCicely If you only offer minimum wage (which is NOT living wage), you are relying on the govt to top up salaries with benefits. This means that your business model is unviable. You are asking the taxpayer to fund yr business. It's just not sustainable.
