Baroness Michelle Mone should resign from the House of Lords after a company linked to her was ordered to repay millions of pounds for breaching a Covid-19 PPE contract, a leading Conservative has said.
Shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho described the actions of Lady Mone, who currently has the Tory whip suspended, as “disgraceful” and called on her to relinquish her peerage.
Lady Mone criticised the High Court judgment, calling it a win for the “establishment”, while her husband Doug Barrowman said it was a “travesty of justice”.
The Conservatives piled pressure on Lady Mone, after Chancellor Rachel Reeves said on Wednesday she “clearly shouldn’t be in the House of Lords”.
Justice Cockerill found PPE Medpro had breached the contract.
