"Baroness Michelle Mone has accused Chancellor Rachel Reeves of fuelling a "government vendetta" against her and her husband Doug Barrowman, following remarks reportedly made by Reeves at a Labour Party Conference fringe event this week. In a strongly worded statement posted on LinkedIn, Mone said Reeves "openly confirmed" that the government is pursuing a personal and political campaign against her, after responding "Too right we do" when asked about allegations of bias towards Mone and PPE Medpro"
"The public fallout adds further fuel to the already explosive PPE Medpro case, which concluded its High Court hearings in July. The case has seen the government pursue PPE Medpro for alleged breach of contract during the Covid pandemic - claims the company vigorously denies. As Business Matters exclusively revealed yesterday, the DHSC rejected two substantial no-fault settlement offers from PPE Medpro, including a complete remake of 25 million gowns or a £23 million cash settlement."
Baroness Michelle Mone alleges that Chancellor Rachel Reeves fuelled a government vendetta against her and husband Doug Barrowman after Reeves reportedly said "Too right we do" regarding alleged bias toward Mone and PPE Medpro. Mone says the comment proves a personal and political campaign and will be used by her legal team as evidence of government bias. The dispute centers on £122 million of sterile gowns and concluded High Court hearings in July. The DHSC rejected two no-fault settlement offers, including remaking 25 million gowns or a £23 million cash settlement. Mone reports social media threats and demands an apology and parliamentary referral.
