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.
Dear @RishiSunak
This is our daughter Ruby. She died of leukaemia on 15 May 2020 aged 18.
She said goodbye to her friends, grandparents & cousins by Zoom.
Only a handful of people allowed at her funeral.
It’s essential that we have an open & transparent #CovidEnquiry.
No idea if Lineker thing works out well or badly for No.10. All I know is we did something despicable this week which will damage thousands of lives. And because of Braverman, Fleet Street and the Beeb, we've spent it fixated on a fairly harmless tweet by a sports presenter.
When one person in a relationship severely limits the freedom of the other, won't even let them contemplate leaving and makes out the other person is mad and mean for even thinking about being independent, we call that "abuse".

@skierhughes@David__Osland NI contributions are paid by the employees from their salaries. It does not act as some excuse to validate corporations finding ways to avoid paying corporation tax at appropriate amounts.
@msbellejones @MentalHeadline I don’t know if I want to look for this article or not now. Part of me wants to know more about this nutters bizarre name smelling habit
