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.
Sunak: 'transparency' etc.
Constitution (such as it is): Parliament is sovereign, not Braverman.
Taxpayers: that's our money & you have a duty to account for it to us.
Logic: you've got something to hide.
Conclusion: you're a nasty & dishonest piece of work & should resign.
Twitter has just removed 200 of you from following me. I’m sure it wasn’t intentional! If you support my holding this truth twisting Government to account please do check you are still with me & please RT to alert others🙏
Does @RishiSunak really believe the country has suffered mass amnesia & forgotten we had record numbers of people on hospital waiting lists before industrial action by NHS doctors began?
By now even Larry the cat knows hospital waiting lists are the result of a decade of underinvestment by this Government which has left the NHS with too few staff and too few beds. It’s one of the reasons doctors are taking strike action!
This is a lie.
It’s yet more proof of how the Conservative Party has sunk to the lowest level - desperately fishing for votes in the depths of British politics.
We can’t go on like this.
We need change.
After Ben Wallace warns UK must cut troop numbers or send them out with pitchforks, government ministers instinctively check to see if any of their mates own a farm supplies business.
My brother did a foundation degree in his late 30s, he went on to get a first in his Bachelors degree, aced his master's degree and now has a great job at the University. I cannot stress enough that this saved and changed his life and the life of his kids.
Andrew Marr really nailing the rise in food prices - ours rise while they fall elsewhere. He could have added we have a highly cartelised food supply chain, lush margins, a refusal by government to step in for fear of “ nannying” and of course Brexit.
Next up in today’s cavalcade of Tory corruption, Nadhim Zahawi spent more than £1,000 of taxpayers’ money on a 'keep the meter running' luxury car service when visiting COP26 to preach about children being taught to conserve the planet. 🤦🏼♀️
