- MPs reacted with outrage following the growing controversy over a PPE company linked to the Tory peer Michelle Mone after The Guardian reported that Mone referred the company to Tory ministers Michael Gove and Theodore Agnew.

Mone's referral got PPE Medpro a 'VIP lane' securing it two contracts worth more £203m. Millions of pounds of PPE Medpro's profits were later transferred to a secret offshore trust fund of which Mone and her family members were beneficiaries. PPE Medpro insists the gowns passed inspection and that the company are entitled to keep the money.
Neil O’Brien, the junior health minister, defended the government's actions, denying that political connections played a role in the distribution of contracts, adding that the referral system connected ministers with members of the public who wanted to help plug shortages.
During the Urgent Question tabled by Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner, Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi said it was 'absolutely sickening, shameful and unforgivable' that 'chums of the Conservative party were profiteering' as the country struggled with the pandemic.

This case must be discussed during PMQs
You don't think he will give a straight answer do you
PMQs isn't a discussion any more, it's just playground-style "you smell of wee!" "Well you smell of poo!" "Your mum smells of poo!" etc. etc.
Sunak won’t answer the question!
We’d only hear more lies.
I'm sure Kier will bring it up, whether the right dishonourable member the prime minister actually answers is a different story
It’s time the Police investigated this lot under oath and brought criminal prosecutions.
Until that happens we can have no confidence in either house or any MP.
Are the police any better? They have covered up quite a few issues
Agreed, but not going to happen. Just like trump is unlikely to be prosecuted for theft. "One rule for the rulers, a different rule for the ruled".
Do mean the MET??????
And it should NOT be the Met!
The police don't investigate tories
"We were desperate to help the NHS AND at the same time, we were even MORE desperate to help our friends' pockets. So...we combined the 2. Why are you frustrated??"
Absolutely disgusting that so few are there. They are being paid and therefore should have to turn up every day whether they're interested or not! None of us would get away with staying home bc we aren't interested in working today, why should they?! And why aren't the police investigating this and why hasn't anyone been sacked or charged?!
They are all off to the JUngle.sorry house of Lords
Trust the Tories to help themselves to our cash.Greed is leading to the destruction of the NHS.
yes and sadly even among some of it's managers as past events show
Oh boy do we need a clearout😮
These tories are making my blood boil
If there were items of PPE either not received, unusable or substandard. A full refund would be expected. If this is written off that is very poor accounting. Were these items paid for up front, if not why were the companies paid at all and items not returned as unusable. Did they only buy from disreputable sources?
You can't call Steptoe and Son or Del boy disreputable characters surely ? 😂😆😉
@@judvu1926 Next to this lot they look like angels.
If you steal money you go to prison why don't they 🤬
Can't the police look into this? There has to be justice ⚖
The police have most probably been paid not to look into this.
I wouldn't get you hopes up. I mean the MET!!
The Home office ( Suella Braverman) is in charge of the police force . Kier Starmer being the former public prosecutor should have something to say next PM 's question time .
The police have already raided private homes over this. I'd urge you to read the full press reports - this isn't over...
@@judvu1926 he will never go to the real places he should go, i have watched starmer pull his punches far too often to ever believe he isn't in the same gang as the rest of the criminals
She should be tried before a jury of her peers.
Agree with the trial but would not trust a jury of her peers - how far is this corruption supported and shared?
Corporations stealing public money?? In America this is a typical Thursday. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah that’s the point. We don’t wanna follow in your silly footsteps. 🤔🤷
@@arghjayemI’m not sure it is anything quite like this. This sort of thing would produce a scandal, at the equivalent sort of valuation.
Where is the public enquiry on how Dido Harding spent £30 billion on a Covid computer system?
We the tax payers want our money back Michelle Mone!
mone should start getting out her 'growler' & using it to pay back the uk taxpayer's money!!!
we cant it off shore like she is no doubt
Absolutely despicable!
One Scandal after another on a Weekly basis now, going back years.
The Political System in Westminster, needs a full review, the way business is done behind closed doors, along with underhanded deals carried out with a Nod and a Wink to benefit individuals in a Golden Circle.
Who Works for Who?
Everyone who didnt vote Tory seen this.
All the middle classes are getting affected by poverty now so apparently that makes it a real problem for government
The Tories here in Australia did exactly the same thing
No surprise!
Federal ICAC now
Just proves the pandemic was never about health.
No, it proves that tory profiteers abused the public health crisis to fill their pockets and party in downing street.
It was about health, Tories saw this as a perfect opportunity to practice Disaster Capitalism 😂
Guy fawkes was right!
I was working in the House of Lords on the day when Michelle Mone was ennobled. The place looked like a Cheshire housewives' festival. She and her pals looked distinctly dodgy. This news doesn't surprise me at all
‘Michelle Mone’? Michelle Money, more like. 💰 💰 💰
LoadsaMoné?
I wonder how many blows she did to get those contracts
Only Angela has the Balls to hold these Crooks to account.
We know and they know that we,the sheep, will bleat for a while and then move on.
Part of the 40 billion we've all to pay back!
5 billion items of ppe is nothing when they count one box of 100 pairs of gloves as 200 items!
That is how you account for actual product units. You can't treat a box 100 vs a box of 50 as equal. You actually said 5 billion is nothing???
@@enkig2624 yes I know that's how they count it but they keep boasting about how much there was and in all reality 5 billion didn't hardly scratch the surface. Many many hospitals were having to reuse ppe equipment, many were having to struggle on without the equipment they should have had so yes although 5 billion isn't actually zero, it was nothing compared to what was actually needed
They are all liars .
The tories are
Janet - and thieves
Some are, other aren’t, this whole they are all bad makes you part of the problem
The biggest lie. Is.. The treatment works.
This Scandal must never go away untill an independent transparent investigation by a third party is conducted and publicly available..
What about the pub landlord that Hancock endorsed 🤬
There should be no such thing as Parliamentary Privilege. Will there come a time when every single MP has to swear on his or her Religious book before making a statement in the house, in the same way as a person does in a court room. It seems that the higher the office, the more you can get away with. Perjury comes second nature to these people, and they know that the only way they can found guilty, is through the ballot box. The damage is well and truly done by the time that happens.
if the mp's are now that direct with accusations, how are the guilty still in parliament ?
'Get rich quick'. Isn't that what MPs do best?
The PPE was not up to scratch ,,, not medical grade stuff. Incompetence comes to mind.
only the Tories could look at thousands of people dying and have their first thought be "how can i squeeze the most profit out of this for me?" cant say im surprised though, that's been their attitude to governance since 2010 after all
MP's need to stop making jokes in the house. They respond to the joke not the question and get away with it.
What’s downright disgusting, sickening and shameful is that hundreds of PEOPLE die not even 100 yards from the borders of all of these countries!
Another junior Minister thrown under the bus - must be a Right of Passage in the Tory party 🤬
70 companies at 2 addresses in companies house got multimillion pounds in deals
Criminals!
So much for Sushi's I P A - INTEGRITY, PROFESSIONALISM and ACCOUNTABILITY! Callous Crooks ALL.
So she made £29,000,000 just for the recommendation...her husband made £60,000,000...all safely off-shore and tax free.
Corruption beyond belief. Britain's equivalent of a Russian Oligarch.
Imagine the Tories being self-serving money-minded machine mercenaries.
Just imagine
I bet this bloke was given the task of facing the incoming by the higher ups who SHOULD have been there (facing a full house of course) and some time later he will be rewarded for jumping on the grenade with some sweet job or Jim Hacker-esque portfolio....
What are you all doing about it???????
That’s a shock!!!! 😔
How about £37 billion to SERCO for test & trace. They did neither. PM was using our money like confetti
Public inqury, if guilty , Jail, starting with the guys at the top Bojo and Hancock
Everyone understands the desperation to get PPE but you cannot have a system which is corrupt.
When are we getting a covid 19 inquiry
You can always tell when a tory is telling lies their mouths open and shut.
That’s basically what politics is in Britain, find the lies that the public believe. The ones that are more or less honest and have morals will never get power largely because of having morals.
Can somebody explain this to me like I'm five? lol
To someone in Seattle, let’s just say Michelle Mone has been making a few unscrupulous ‘Starbucks’. 😉
She's a thief!!!
But where is the prosecutions and arrests ?????
Pity labour didn’t complain when it was going on! Another case of captain hindsight!
I wonder how tory voters feel about this..... Tory voter "nothing to see but immigrants in boats"
Are we shocked???
Nothing will happen….
And its 19 secs ago sooo let get it all ?!!
Criminals looking after Criminals
These lot find any excuse to cover their criminal activities…….drain the swamp!
And they’re laughing at us all😞
Don't worry about it
Not many there ah early Christmas holiday with pay and expenses putting the free decoration up
I'm waiting
Name and shame. The corrupt politicians.
"Sickening, shameful, unforgivable": this is brexit Britain.
it gives me faith that there are still people in government who call this out but for what motive i wonder will it be that hampers that faith once more.
Criminality at work in high office.
Wonder how the investigation is going? It's been a few months now...
Nothing unusual here!
Gravy train runs on time every day every week every month every year ………….
Can wait 'till you look into that Ukraine money
There mates should paying every penny wasted back I think we will find they sit on the bench. 🙈🤡🦃
Jeremy Hunt started running down NHS PPE stockpiles just a few years before the pandemic whilst he was health minister in spite of being advised to do the opposite!
Yes, the 2016 Cygnus report, they just ignored it.
Must have had advanced knowledge
Somebody “had a word” obviously.
Criminal referrals need to be made
Greed, corruption and the usual suspects - they should be Imprisoned right now
They ignored regular NHS suppliers and gave contracts to people on the VIP lane instead who were not qualified to produce medical equipment and PPE.
One of the mps who gave a contact to his mate, is in Australia and trying to make himself more normal...what a @unt!!!
Bring back the birch -
@@niburu3406 the stocks
Shameful!
And if you own a pub near Huncuck, your in list
The House of Commons should be full when discussing this terrible state of affairs
Yes you're right, June, there should be a special debate... But do we think there will be...?
They are all guilty cowards who probably benefited by it.
The PM is too scared to face the music. The very person who threw the £millions and friends, their families, MPs and favourites.
Xmas party time 🧐
They are all at home, making money transfers to offshore accounts, to hide their culpability.
Mone is a con woman,most of us in Scotland already knew this,no surprise.
She’s a piece of work …of that there is no doubt .
No. She is a criminal
Why are there so few MPs in the chamber and why aren't the police investigating this?
Because it’s so far not been proven !
@@Genghis-Khan121 you are aware the police don't just have to investigate crimes that are already proven, that's the job of the court
@@Genghis-Khan121 that's why the police should be investigating, if no crime has been committed then Scotland Yard can say 'we investigated and there was no evidence that any crime had been committed". That's basically what police are there for.
@@ganrimmonim hes dumb keep it moving
My guess would be that without these MPs voting to give this government "Special Powers" none of this would have been possible and they dont want to be there on the off chance they incriminate themselves further and as for the police, If you look back, The police only investigate MPs when ordered to by other MPs. Of course this is not how its supposed work but i imagine they dont want to bite the hands of their masters.
So many of these Tory ministers profitted from the pandemic. £29m for one Tory peer is gross while ordinary people continue to
suffer the harsh reality of poverty.
Time for the public to police the MPs and time that there were consequences for actions. Criminal actions need to be investigated immediately. These tories need to be locked up if found to be guilty of corruption not some 6 day suspension from parliament.
In March 2020, I worked for a company that happened to have nearly 30 pallets of hand sanitiser at a time when it was in very short supply. We worked for weeks trying to speak to the Health department offering to donate some or all of it to the NHS, but they wouldn't even return our calls and emails.
In the end, we sold it all at cost to independent retailers across the country with fresh labels printed with a specified msrp price to avoid opportunistic price gouging.
I guess we weren't part of the Tory inner circle of profiteers
Aren't they the seediest, trashiest group of opportunists, that have ever disgraced our parliament?
They're all equally as bad as each other in my opinion
@@cosmicrayabsorber Who is they?
@@0ihatetrolls01 All politicians
Actually there are reasons why the NHS specifically and the Health sector generally would refuse the donation. The only donation they would ever consider would be directly from the actual manufacturer who could guarantee that the supply had been manufactured in a controlled fashion meeting the regulatory requirements. Any company outside of that direct chain, would need to absolutely guarantee that the material purchased was correctly manufactured and had been stored in an appropriately hygienic environment. Outside of that would you want your son/daughter, parent to be treated with material that had suspect provenance
Can’t believe how few MPs are here in the House talking about this. No surprise that so much money ended up taken out of circulation and put in to off shore accounts!!.
Under the shadow of the PM who was Chancellor at the time. Wasted money just like his "Eat out to help out".
At this point, if the UK doesn't rise up, we deserve everything that is coming our way for several years.
They are all at in some shape or other. Both parties.
They all stand to lose out on this - as they’re all as culpable, nevermind covetous
Cos they were guilty that’s why they weren’t their
Corruption at its very worst.
They should all be put in jail for a long time or until every penny is returned to the tax payer.
Now you know where your money goes , no money for hospitals or the other public things ! Down the drain!
Into Tory pockets and offshore accounts
@@JoButterwick Which shall be recovered.
@@eustacequinlank7418 I hope you’re right.
I want the Tory government held accountable for the fraudulent use of tax payers money.
what ever funds they have should be taken every penny and thrown out the house.
Open corruption ...
It shouldn't be called the house commons. It should be called the house of criminals 😂
That's the best comment on here (even including mine!).
Yes - let's start the meme - The House Of Criminals - and hope it goes viral.
THE HOUSE OF CRIMINALS
@@childofthe60s100 it's true tho that's all's I've heard for the last2 years now it's criminals running the country
😂😂😂😂

Agree Steven! or "House of Corruption".
HOW is this not a crime?
Absolute disgrace.Shows how corrupt that MP’S are.These MP’S need taken to task and charged with criminal offences and jailed.
The tories, Joan, its the tories.
Michelle Mone sits in the House of Lords
Mone was never in her life elected by anyone to anything. She made some money selling bras and she was a Scot that the Tories could cultivate. So they made her a legislator.
@@quill9105 is that what your crystal ball tells you? The Tories think they are born to govern and that the plebs can be pacified with a few daily mail headlines and a "get brexit done" bit of sloganeering. Labour aren't perfect but they're not that.
Been stealing for themselves as long as there's been rich fools💯🤔
Ethics nor empathy,do they comprehend.
Dennis Skinner :- "Half the tories opposite are crooks"
Mr Speaker :- "Withdraw that comment Mr Skinner"
Dennis Skinner :- "Okay, half the tories opposite are not crooks".
Twas always thus my friend . My father was a miner and suffered fools lightly. He respected Skinner and so did I .
Unbelievable that these arrogant Tories are getting away with such criminally
Sadly these criminals will never see the inside of a jail cell. Ironically they will have a banquet on their Manx estate to celebrate thwarting justice yet again. Guests of honour will be Boris and Lord Snotty, and his pals to celebrate old Etonian exceptionalism.
They wait glee for the onset of Klaus Schwab's Great Reset in 2030.
Bunch of thieves
disgrace
If I purchased a faulty item then I'd take/send back to the seller and ask for my money back (or replacement which in this case doesn't apply) someone, somewhere has to reimburse the 10 b tax payers money or face the consequences of losing their jobs !
Exactly.
We knew this already though? But this is MORE people involved than we already knew. Disgusting evil people
"PPE Medpro" was added on the VIP lane, before this company was even registered, as I understand. Lady Michelle's [Mone] lobby work. Then Lady Michell aggressively lobbied to secure even more government contracts, but fortunately by then government officials were weary.
In today's papers it says that she pocketed £29million as she as a Lord recommended the Company!! Nice little bonus for corruption.
@@arthurmackrell8154 She's been corrupt since she first started business. She got grants from various govt funds to support female business owners when really her lingerie business was a joint company with her ex husband. He just hung back while she took the limelight. Her rise was marred with corruption and lies.
She sold slimming pills she claimed were responsible for her own dramatic weight loss. She actually had her stomach stapled.
You mean WARY NOT WEARY!
Money needs to be recovered. Stop this inertia
shameful and awful excuses
Michelle Mone set a PPI supply company up about 6 months before th C-Vid farce. I wonder who gave her the tip off ?
Probably offered the guy a massage 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is what they do with our tax money all the time...all the money we pay for public services and it goes in their pockets.
Hands up all those that think Sod All will be done... Just remember that the Outrage is ONLY BECAUSE THEY WERE FOUND OUT...! ! !
You have been looking for 9 billions for nurses? You found it.
