Whilst I find it difficult to believe a word that Lord Sugar and Lady Mone ever have said I really don't believe he was only 8 when The Apprentice began in 2005. The billionaire, 26, had tried to argue he qualified for non-residency - a person who does not live in Britain and spends no more than 90 days in the UK a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/dec/18/michelle-mone-lords-cronyism-pandemic "The Michelle Mone affair stinks. It shows that, under Boris Johnson, the British government was unfit for purpose, and is scarcely better today. While the Covid inquiry descends into a lawyers’ carnival, the PPE procurement scandal festers on. In the spring of 2020, when the pandemic first broke, Wales’s first minister, Mark Drakeford, announced that there was “PPE in the system for everyone who needs it”. In the Welsh county of Gwynedd, hospitals, clinics, care homes and primary schools retorted that they had virtually none." Hopefully, the soubriquet 'MiMo' will enter the lexicon any time a company or individual blatantly rips off the public purse. I hope her tits and lips explode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Mone admitted last month that she and her husband, Douglas Barrowman, were involved in a company called PPE Medpro that won contracts worth £200m during the pandemic, and banked around £65m of this as profit. On Sunday, she told the BBC that she is sorry for having lied about this for years. But despite the apology, the couple gave the impression of believing that they have done almost nothing wrong." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Continuing with the quotes from The Grauniad trend this one must be the winner in terms of chutzpah... Michelle Mone and ministers trade claims over her hidden links to PPE deals | Michelle Mone | The Guardian Quote She (Mone) also accused Gove and the Ddepartment of Health and Social Care official Sir Chris Wormald of overseeing a “huge waste in PPE contracts”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
