"Controversy Surrounding PPE Deals and Political Figures"

Michelle Mone criticizes Rishi Sunak, claiming that the government was aware of her involvement in a company that secured lucrative PPE contracts during the pandemic. Sunak expressed concern over Mone's admission of lying about her connection to PPE Medpro, stating that the government is taking the matter seriously. Mone's comments increase pressure on ministers, particularly Michael Gove, to clarify their knowledge of the situation. Labour leader Keir Starmer has called for Gove to make a statement. Mone, a former Conservative peer, has been on leave from the Lords and is no longer affiliated with the party.
