Michelle Mone says she won't step down as Tory peer - and accuses chancellor of 'endangering' her
Michelle Mone demands retraction of statements by Chancellor Rachel Reeves and calls the dispute a dangerous vendetta causing threats and abuse against her and her family.
- Earlier this week, Baroness Michelle Mone wrote to Prime Minister Keir Starmer demanding an end to a `vendetta` she says targets her personally and a formal withdrawal of Chancellor Rachel Reeves's statement.
- During the pandemic, PPE Medpro, led by Doug Barrowman, supplied 25 million surgical gowns to the UK Government and was ordered to repay £122m for breaching the contract.
- Mone says social media 'went into meltdown' with threats overnight, leaving her family fearing public outings and citing Jo Cox, Sir David Amess, and Caroline Flack.
- She now faces cross-party calls from Members of Parliament, including Rachel Reeves, to relinquish her peerage and step down from the House of Lords, but Baroness Michelle Mone says she will defy these demands.
- Mone also alleges ministerial interference, saying ministers improperly influenced the Crown Prosecution Service and National Crime Agency and warned this risks breaching Articles 6 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
