Honestly glad this isn’t being forgotten about. When Reeves announced this I was certain they would only go for the small fry.

They are just scapegoating Mone, and it will amount to a slap on the wrist in any case. She should be in prison with all her assets seized, imo. The fact the law is okay with destroying poor people’s lives over vastly smaller sums just says everything about this society.

Mone’s PPE Medpro was given about £200m in govt contracts. Ayanda was given £252m in contracts. It’s the family office of a Tory advisor. They had no history in PPE and were given the contract because of politics links.

We paid a quarter of a billion for masks that were found to be defective and had to be burnt, also at taxpayer expense. Ayanda is not in court.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg, that VIP lane was just legalised corruption and they have already gotten away with it.
