Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK is calling for Michelle Mone to be stripped of her peerage and removed from the House of Lords. The integrity of Parliament depends on it.
The High Court has ruled that a company linked to Michelle Mone must repay £122 million to the Government after supplying faulty PPE during the pandemic.
PPE Medpro’s surgical gowns were found to be “invalidly CE marked” and “did not comply with the law”. They were rejected on first inspection and never used in the NHS. The court ordered the company to repay the full £122 million plus costs and interest.

The leaked documents, which were produced by the bank HSBC, appear to contradict that statement. They state that Mone’s husband, the Isle of Man-based financier Douglas Barrowman, was paid at least £65m in profits from PPE Medpro, and then distributed the funds through a series of offshore accounts, trusts and companies.
The ultimate recipients of the funds, the documents indicate, include the Isle of Man trust that was set up to benefit Mone, who was Barrowman’s fiancee at the time, and her children. In October 2020, the documents add, Barrowman transferred to the trust £28.8m originating from PPE Medpro profits...
