There’ll be more reports like this. Once wounded, there’s blood in the water. Those solicitor’s letters will never have the same fear attached…"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

The new argument is "We lied about our involvement, but the government knew the truth so it's not our fault"...

The Conservative peer Michelle Mone has acknowledged for the first time that she was involved with a company that was awarded government PPE contracts worth £200m during the Covid pandemic.
Lady Mone’s husband, Douglas Barrowman, has also acknowledged for the first time that he was involved in the company, PPE Medpro.
A representative of Barrowman told the Guardian that the Isle of Man-based businessman was an investor in PPE Medpro, and chaired and led the operation to supply personal protective equipment.
The admissions raise questions about years of denials from the couple. Until now, Mone and Barrowman have consistently and emphatically denied to the Guardian, via lawyers, that they were involved in the company.

And Australia!
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...dpro-suppliers
Suppliers of PPE for a company linked to the Conservative peer Michelle Mone were also involved during the Covid pandemic in supplying millions of face masks to the Australian government that were rejected over safety concerns.
Australia’s Department of Health and Aged Care told the Guardian that of 50m face masks supplied to fulfil a government contract awarded to a small online retailer, Australian Business Mobiles (ABM), the overwhelming majority – 45.7m – were deemed unusable for its health service. A department spokesperson said five of seven manufacturers that supplied the masks were “deemed non-compliant with quality regulations”.
The masks were delivered to Australia’s national medical stockpile on mixed pallets, the spokesperson said, so it was not possible to ascertain which masks in the stockpile were compliant. Of the masks that were deployed, two batches were subject to defect notices in March 2022 warning against their use in hospitals and other healthcare settings.
According to documents seen by the Guardian, two of ABM’s suppliers were Cyprus-registered companies named Neumer Holdings and Neumer Trading, which are owned by Ricky and Evan Neumann. The Neumer companies then paid a Hong Kong-based company, Eric Beare Associates, to source the majority of the PPE from Chinese factories. Neumer Trading and Eric Beare were also involved in sourcing the PPE for two UK government contracts worth a total of £203m awarded to PPE Medpro, the company with which Mone and her husband, Douglas Barrowman, were involved."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
