In a significant ruling, the High Court has ordered a company linked to Tory peer Michelle Mone to repay £122 million to the UK government for breaching a contract involving faulty PPE supplies during the pandemic. The firm, known for providing defective COVID gowns, has faced multiple lawsuits and allegations regarding its compliance with contract terms. Mone, who has been accused of using her influence to negotiate these contracts, has publicly claimed she is being scapegoated amid the unfolding PPE scandal. The ruling has prompted calls for her removal from the House of Lords and has shed light on the controversial VIP lanes established for pandemic procurement.
