Explosive documents have laid bare the extensive involvement of Conservative peer Michelle Mone in securing lucrative government PPE contracts for the company Medpro, despite her repeated denials of any connection to the firm.
The Secret Liaison
Leaked materials reveal that Baroness Mone acted as a covert 'liaison' between the company and government officials, facilitating a massive £200 million deal for surgical gowns at the height of the Covid pandemic. The documents show she was intimately involved in negotiations that would ultimately see millions of pounds flow to the company.
From Denial to Documentation
For nearly two years, the Tory peer consistently denied any role in Medpro's operations. However, the evidence now tells a different story, showing her direct communication with ministers and senior officials to push through the controversial contract.
The Financial Trail
The National Crime Agency is currently investigating the deal amid concerns about the procurement process and the ultimate destination of public funds. Documents suggest millions were funneled through offshore trusts connected to Mone and her children.
Government Under Fire
The revelations have sparked fury among opposition parties and transparency campaigners, who accuse the government of operating a 'chumocracy' during the pandemic emergency procurement process.
Labour's Deputy Leader Angela Rayner declared: 'This is yet another example of the Tory sleaze that has infected politics. The public deserves full transparency about how their money was spent during the crisis.'
Legal Battles and Investigations
The Department of Health has since launched legal action against PPE Medpro, claiming the surgical gowns supplied were 'not fit for purpose' and could not be used in the NHS. The company vigorously denies these allegations.
Meanwhile, Baroness Mone continues to maintain she has 'nothing to answer for' despite the mounting evidence of her involvement in one of the most controversial pandemic procurement deals.
