After three years of investigating and denials from three different law firms, the Guardian's David Conn has finally received an admission that Baroness Mone had an affiliation with PPE Medpro. The Guardian say that her husband Douglas Barrowman has also admitted involvement. The company received £200 million in contracts during the pandemic, but £122 million of equipment they provided was deemed not fit for purpose. David Conn reveals his findings to James O'Brien.

I think the point is: people who value those traits in human beings are not the kind of people who vote Conservative. And Conservatism knows it, which is why they feed their ignorant voters hate, grievance, resentment and constant self-victimization instead. One of the world’s best grifts.

They won't get punished, Borris got the minimum fine for attending multiple parties with put ppe or social distancing. While other people received thousands of pounds worth of fines over BS. During lockdown I watched the metropolitan police eat at places with no social distancing but would stop people on the street having a socially distanced conversation, I watched them ignore a group of 40 odd in a park, none of them from the same house hold sharing a sheesha, letting there kids run riot in a park, just to arrest a teenager smoking a joint hidden in the woods. The government of this country or the police adhere to the law, only the laws they feel to, but that will depend on the time.

Next Theresa May when she needed her government propping up she ended up with the DUP and look where that ended.

Ozzy, similar story from me. As a community practitioner, I was regularly in contact with people who had COVID. We were initially given face masks which were subsequently withdrawn because they were not fit for purpose, a little plastic pinnie and a flimsy pair of 'protective' gloves. Ultimately, me and virtually all my colleagues caught Covid. Mone and all her cronies who were involved in this (what appears to be) fraudulent activity need to be arrested and face trial in a court of law. These parliamentary slap on the wrist investigations simply will not do😮 It beggars belief that there is still a sizable (hopefully) minority who for want of greed or misplaced loyalty still try to support these wrongdoers and who still, after the abundance of wrongdoing by the Tories, who still intend to vote for them in the next general election. One thing is certain. They will never, ever get my vote. I would rather vote for screaming Lord Sutch and his bunch of monster raving loonies than the corrupted Tories.

I was called up by my council because they found "two" names residing in my property while claiming Single Occupancy Discount. Turns out there is one version with my adopted English first name and my Chinese last name and another version with my Chinese first name, followed by my English first name, and my Chinese last name. I never used the latter version in all my dealings with the council or my usual life (including banking,) only when I do major things like applying for my passport. Don't know how my council stumbled across my other names. I had to send a copy of my British Passport to them to prove that I am the same person in either version. Of course, when you are robbing the government of 65 millions, you don't get any scrutiny.

MedPro insists the gowns were up to standard. The question is....How did MedPro secure these items when they were not even a business entity until after the lockdown began and who were their suppliers? I wouldnt agreed to supply a new customer when my existing customers, with a track record for paying, were crying out for orders to be fulfilled. Yet MedPro were somehow able to agree terms with suppliers and jump the queue in order to fulfill an order for tens of thousands of items. So, what I'm saying is, it just doesn't fly.

What does someone have to do to have their peerage removed? You'd certainly think "Baroness" Mone would qualify. As to her responsibilities to attend the House of Lords and vote on legislation, she is currently taking a leave of absence and before that... "Mone has previously been criticised for her low attendance in the Lords, with a Sunday National investigation discovering she only attended on four days over a six months period."

Also what if any part did the Conservative Government have to do with this admission ? Seems rather strange this coming out of cover at this particular moment , People on the streets is a lifestyle, The increasingly large amounts of protesters for Palestine against the conservatives supporting Israel? Plus various other deflection’s cascading down on a repressed citizenship , I honestly believe this Government ain’t got a clue how to govern the country but their wizards at frightening the horses so to speak , what’s going on ?
