"Baroness" Mone ordered to pay back 122million....

Good- now can we get our money back from all the others too?

We already have a thread running on this

Couldn't happen to a more desrving woman. She has earned what has come to her again and again.

She'll maybe have to sell a yacht: oh dear, how sad, never mind...

Not much will be given back. A company was set up specifically for this PPE (all goods obtained from China too!) and the day before the Court verdict the account went into administration.

Such a shady pair (her and Barrowman) - well apart from their matching ‘teef’.

Remove her Baroness title I say - it’d hurt her more!

I remember seeing her being made a peer and wondering where she had popped up from. She looked so glamorous I thought she had something to do with Boris. I obviously misjudged him.

I'm with you, FGT, hopefully the public humiliation will resonate with this pair of...( words fail me)

A repeat of the post I put on the first thread on this topic

"MaizieD Wed 01-Oct-25 13:42:51
The money is highly unlikely to be repaid. The judgement is against Medpro, the company set up by Mone and her husband to cash in on the PPE bonanza. It is a Limited company and its accounts show it only has about £6,000. Mone and her husband are not responsible for paying its debts."

I'm sure that MOnica knows this even if few others do.

The government won't see a penny is my guess...

Nope, unlikely to get anything back.

But stripping her of her Baroness title would be a good move.

I absolutely agree, Allira.

But as she hasn't been held personally responsible what justification for 'de-peering' her could be offered?

I think the MPs (particularly Ministers) who blithely imposed the use of the VIP lane to enrich their friends and donors should suffer some sort of sanction, too.

Agree MaizieD

We know they will have diverted all the money and claim bankruptcy so will get away with it.

Is it about time the Limited Company regulation changed!

I agree.

Another instance which brings the Life Peerage system into disrepute.
It's time we had an elected upper House.

Oh, that was in response to MaizieD

Good. I hope these 2 are hounded until they cough up every penny back to the Government.
I wonder why nobody checked the PPE supplied by her company? The CE mark which denotes a product complies with EU standards was missing and the gowns were not sterile. They were desperate times but still.
Perhaps the House of Lords could have a 2 for 1 offer. Strip Mone of her Baroness title and Mandelson of his peerage at the same time.

I don’t understand how some people can become bankrupt (sometimes more than once) and yet still seem to lead extravagant lifestyles. And, even if the people they owe money to never get their money they then seem to start other companies. Katie Price springs to mind. And wasn’t Trump bankrupt once?

Exactly! The Katie Prices of this world know how to play the system. If she owed me money I would be livid to see her constantly swanning off for yet another holiday and cosmetic operation whilst pleading poverty.

Not so. It's the company that has to repay the £122m. It's now in administration so I doubt we taxpayers will ever see most of the money. Outrageous. They and the politicians who signed it off disgust me. The civil servants who tried to prevent it ought to be put in the Lords.

Bring back Debtors Prison. And a long sentence

I always saw her as a hard face,money grabber on the make.

Good Riddance

Like others, I suspect that even the Government’s legal costs to bring this case will not be covered by any company insolvency payments.

The use of standalone companies to cover a particular endeavour is a well-established business practice. As in this case, in protects the parent company when/if things go awry.

I believe that there is still an ongoing criminal investigation into potential fraud.

Absolutely...the government should also be trying to recoup the fraudulent claims for grants being made during covid

Yes everything that was stolen should be repaid! Now. No dragging their feet on this!

According to ITV's The Covid Contracts, a lot of others were awarded far bigger contracts. Hancock, Gove and Johnson who created the VIP lane should be held to account. So corrupt to give priority to firms with no previous experience, but just because they knew MPs.
