Body language of them both says they are guilty and are struggling to divert scrutiny
We do not need judges an jury any more we can just get you to say who is or is not guilty what a saving !!!!!
Body language? His gut is bursting out of his shirt and the last button looks like a nasty anal sphincter because he's £60 million fatter than he was. And her botox was worth the money, you cant tell when she's lying " Doug i really fancy you and your the sexiest man I've ever met" Oh and" I've never done anything wrong" 🤣
That last button on his shirt is putting up a brave fight.
Ha ha yep that last button deserves a peerage.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well done LK and the BBC just when you thought the 'Prince' Andrew / Maitlis interview couldn't be topped - mone & barrowman / kuenssberg interview has done just that!!!
Be realistic. Nothing can top Prince Andrew. Unless these guys couldn't have been involved in the contract because they were having KFC at the time.
I made the call to Michael Gove and said to him, 'We can help (ourselves), I'd like to help (ourselves).🤣
We don't care how upset you and family are Michelle, you took the money that could have gone to Social Care and NHS.
Mone, her husband and anyone on the UK governments side handing out a £200m PPE contract to a connected party's START UP company for unusable PPE equipment deserves to be put in jail for fraud and abuse of public office. This is a related party contract and fraud. The chumocracy caned it for £9 billion. I'll repeat that. £ Nine Billion Great British Pounds.
Pull the “for the sake of my family” card, should be outlawed as an excuse.
what a spectacle her arguing that his money isnt her money but when its the press they are all one!
'How much shall we leave the kids dear?' 'about 60 million would be the safe option' 🤣
"I looked at Doug, and thought we could pilfer millions from the British public"
And she never raised an eyebrow.......sorry she can't, the benefits of botox 😂 no one can tell when your lying.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"I'm a private person who doesn't trust the media, that's why I've gone on national television to admit that I've done nothing wrong, or indeed anything at all while at the same time acknowledging, admitting that I have done something but the illegal thing was total legal and the money I made I won't see or have for years but it did buy me a yacht that I didn't buy with it and anyway, I think you'll find the stuff we provided was real value for money!" The verbal gymnastics in that! Sir Humphrey Appleby would be proud!
Strip her of her peerage? There is a clear element of dishonesty and evasiveness that has no place in the House of Lords. As a criminal lawyer & former politician, I find this truly abhorrent, regardless of the outcome of the criminal investigation - the lack of ethics here is deeply concerning. The net profit of circa £60m should be returned and distributed to U.K. taxpayers to fund vital services like adult social care.
Strip her of her peerage and repay? Is that far enough? We have put away those that commit benefit fraud for thousands of times less money and I feel this takes the mick further than any of those did.
It's laughable that people are only suggesting she repay and may lose a peerage. Lock her away for a few years. Treat her like she is, a bloody criminal. One rule for the rich and another for the poor. It has to stop.
Absolute disgrace! Disappeared for years and took the money offshore and into a tax haven. The quote “not trying to pull the wool over people’s eyes” is exactly what you are trying to do, until you got caught red handed. Your only sorry and regretful because you got caught. Prison is full of sorry people, this is no different. Serious fraud was committed and the pair of them should be in prison.
We regret being caught.
Well done LK great interview. Truly shows the sharp practice of these arrogant people - profiteering! What I found extremely irritating is the husband smirking and both of them laughing during parts of interview.
Kuenssburg is quite mediocre, Mone and her husband shouldn't be interviewed, they should be prosecuted and the money returned to the treasury. Every contract obtained via the vip lane should be independently investigated and prosecuted when warranted.
She is scared and knows she could go to prison and in any normal circumstances Joe Public would do but if your a Dame Lord or MP or David Cameron or Rishi the rules do not apply...
God forbid if Doug's shirt buttons will blow up during the interview!
That shirt was strained to keep his fat belly in!
If that shirt rips at least 50k of those ill gotten gains will fall out. He'd have been safter wearing one of his wife's bra's and stuffing it in there.
Its not dougs fault. That shirt fitted him until he became £60 million fatter 😂
I wish there had been a follow up question about the yacht. She said she never bought one but…how does she end up on a boat that happens to have the same name? I mean I can’t just walk up to someone’s boat and step on it for a holiday so I would have liked a follow up question to probe this topic a little more.
Jet husband owns it and named it after her
LK doesn't really do deep digging questions of rich Tories. She is'a Tory shill.
The allegation of civil servants proposing that they could pay monies for this to go away was probably the converse of what happened.
Its been a nightmare for me & my family since i walked into the house of lords for me & my family to the tune of £60,000000, thats not my money it like when my dad comes home on a Friday with his pay packet & gives it to my mother that's her money then, wow absolutely delusional & this is why the house of lords needs to be abolished just another way for the rich to be close to government & get first dibs on easy government contracts, while the common folk live on the breadline & be greatful for the privilege. We need serious change in this country. GREED
It happens regularly in business, whether is £2 million or £60 million, don’t be so dramatic…..
Give the money back
Not her money but will be her money in time ? Disgusting. Think we are all stupid.
It is disgusting that members of the House of Lords were allowed to get very rich on the backs of the Tories helping their friends.
That’s just Britain being Britain. Glad I left, it’s an irredeemable shithole.
The SNP have done it in Scotland Hector, are you getting annoyed about that 🤔
@@Pennyburn1688 yes. It applies to all corrupt politicians.
in the NHS if you even look at friends or families info you are instantly sacked nor can you accept /profit from gifts from service users in professional standards
They are a national disgrace and should be held accountable and jailed.
Wow that is some markup £60,000,000. Yep they are never going to jail though. The Judiciary will find a way of letting them off, as always.
Not in UK. Tories being Tories yet again. Both sides probably.
I don't know which is worse, listening to Mone or listening to Streeting.
Spot on!
both crooked
You might want to check your moral compass - assuming you have one at all. Streeting didn't swindle £60 million out of the public purse. And lied and lied and lied and lied about it. But hey, the only reason the Mone's of this world get away with their kind of bullshit is that the likes of you, morons, keep voting in the kind of people who keep giving the Mone's our money, for nothing.
This is incredible. Prince Andrew finally has some competition!
We have to find out what due diligence was carried out by civil servants to ensure the contracts awarded could be met.
"Wewill get to the bottom of this "-Ayre Right !
Great programme thanks for posting 😅
Scapegoats! 😂😂😂
she is not sorry
she is sorry she got caught.
The Ruling Class answer the clarion call during a pandemic and overrun NHS and say, “Let’s make a profit!”
if he divorces her now he can keep all the money.. she just said its his money not hers!!
They contradicted each other within the same minute...
ag the beginning she said we could help here we can procure the ppe.
Saying We shows that she was going to benefit
The real fkn question here is why was her husband in charge when MM is the one with years of manufacturing experience and contacts in the far east
"That's not my yacht"!
SHAME!!!!!😡😤🤬 They should pay the money back and then go to jail.
“It’s not my money” …..unbelievable when she is a beneficiary.
The house of cards is beginning to fall.
I find is strange, the Government ends up buying from middlemen who had no expenrience. It was a risk, because lots of other countries want PPE, so it could have stopped the supply chain.
The Government did n't use the money to kick start or support companies making PPE in the UK.
These people are absolutely despicable. To think they thought they could spin this story is an insult to the tax payers of this country.
This is almost on par with the Andrew Interview. What a pair of lemons.
These things happen regularly in business, don’t be such a drama queen….
“We never tried to cover up our involvement” - You denied it repeatedly. Telling the truth to one person but lying to millions of other people doesn’t make you honest.
£29 million put in trust, and then claiming "it's not my cash" sounds like lawyerly advice to emphasis a technicality, in the hope we'd be stupid enough to swallow it.
'I don't know the Parliamentary Rulebook' Don't you understand ethics? Morality? Basic decency?
so they arent even paying tax in the uk on it
How this is fair to poor people of this country
If I fall under a bus I would not benefit financially. Scapegoats ?
If they are so hell bent on showing they did a good thing, give the money back. Makes me sick. The hubris and denial of any wrong doing is just laughable. Crooks of the highest order.
Their insistence on blaming the cabinet office is pathetic. The rules are the rules, if you want to benefit from millions of pounds by abusing your position in the Lords at least recognise its on you to follow the rules. I don't agree with them taking them to task for making a profit, it's the governments job to procure products, they could implement emergency legislation to requisition industry to assist in the national interest - they decided not to do this, what they charge is their choice. This weird insistence she has on saying she doesn't have the money, based on the trust technicality is so odd and obviously misleading I have no idea why her lawyers have advised her to take this stance.
that went well for then - lmao
Scammers.. All that money and he doesn't havea shirt to fit 😅
Did they exhaust existing approved PPE suppliers before introducing the VIP method of awarding contracts.
If they wanted to truly help why not supply the PPE at cost? Why make a profit at all?
Blah...Blah....Blah. That money needs to go back into the public coffers, tout suite.
I think he will be divorcing her pretty soon, throw her to the wolves and go Scot free with the loot.
Remember when Cameron said, we are all in this together? What he really ment was, us well off are all in the trough together, hunts every single one of them, totally taking the piss out of all of us.
What a train crash… these two are disgusting. Lie after lie and saying we didn’t benefit. My husband did but we didn’t 🤯 If they don’t go to prison then that will be another crime. Setting up a company after saying they could get it. It’s unbelievable and so are they!
They should both be in JAIL. I hope there are criminal prosecutions being pursued
No way will they ever go to jail, these things happen regularly in business, don’t be so dramatic,,,,
@@stevemercedes3692what kind of business are you in??? No wonder the uk is such a mess. Nice morals
Arthur Daley and her indoors
strip the peerage. This is obscene. Completely devoid of integrity - pure cupidity.
Vileness personified. Will you both mone if you're sent to prison?
Ms Reid said it perfectly…she doesn’t get it.
Aye don't believe how your panel didn't pick up on what Baroness Mone said about not making any profit because it's in a trust.But when her husband dies herself and her children will get all these millions of pounds 🤔
@15:45 Among 'all' the load of Horlicks being spouted during this defence interview, I cannot believe Laura allowed Baroness 'Moan' to get away with that whopper...when one 'divorces' in the UK...ALL assets of each spouse are looked at by the court 'depending' on what is being craved, this includes either spouse 'pensions'...this, of course, depends on the length of marriage, children involved, properties etc. To say that she would not see a penny from the trust if divorced if untrue...c'mon Laura you should have challenged her on that...no wait...its the BBC
Lol - that went well then 🤣
Gone through hell I wouldn't mind going through hell for 2percent of what the pair of them made no shame
Existing suppliers to the NHS with extensive experience and an existing supply chain were rejected in favour of companies who had only been set up a week after winning contracts through a VIP lane. The government are just as culpable. Making profit is not a crime but 30% (not bad for middle men) on cheap, unusable products is despicable, made worse by paying zero tax on that profit by moving it to the Isle of Man tax haven. Vile to suggest they were trying to help. Wealthy persons in power could have set up a non-profit organisation to serve the nation in a time of crisis. The company could have made enough profit to keep the company going but this was profiteering at its worst. Another whammy is that the conservatives have declared they have invested more in to the nhs than any of its predecessors by including the money spent on PPE. Absolutely gross. It’s also been suggested that the delay in supplying PPE to the front line is due to these companies not being established and time needed for them to establish their pipeline so this is not a victimless crime. People have died and we are at over 6% mortality because of that delay and funds not being directed to the front line but these people’s pockets!
“When I die , should I die she won’t benefit, she will benefit after I die “ they’re both constantly contradicting themselves
£60m is nothing to them. Why would they think the British taxpayers would mind it going missing? The excuse of sticking it in a trust is a smokescreen. Mone is espousing the existence of a 90 minute interview that's viewable on iplayer. Where is it? She knew how inept this Tory government were and saw an opportunity. The government should have istigated a maximum profit level.
Greed on another level and should be prosecuted as well as those giving out the contracts and getting kick backs from them
His cash, her cash, trust fund, bank account yada yada - we don't care who benefits, whether it's strictly legal or not. We don't mind people making a profit from normal business (even in the millions) We care about the fact they profited from a national crisis to the tune of £60 million of tax payer money.
Baroness Mone canvassed government for contracts for her HUSBAND. Her HUSBAND then got the contract and made (at least) £29 million in profit. Baroness Mone does not believe that she herself has benefitted financially in any way from these dealings.
The above is the bare bones of the story she is trying to sell us. The conclusion of her story (that she has not benefitted financially) makes no sense. So, even if we were gullible and wanted to believe her...we couldn't.
Continued silence would have been better for them rather than this irrational drivel. They've been caught red-handed, there's no finessing the dodgy PPE situation, they either pay back a chunk of the money or once it reaches the courts they fight it to the bitter end.
She has been in employment tribunals for using bugs on her own staff. She boasted about sourcing her labour in the former war zone in Sri Lanka. Why did she even get to such a position?
At some stage these Tories will run out of other people to blame, even while saying we take full responsibility! Let's hope that day comes soon. General Election ... NOW!
If they divorce sure she'll get half anyways, my god their poor children
The government should have given contracts to smaller businesses if they were producing within the UK.
Support them and this would never have come up.
Awww they are sorry 😔
Something distasteful about these two, understand that you have to be shrewd in business but they seem to have crossed the lines of decent ethics and lack of morale compass. The money is not even going towards the UK economy but locked away in the Isle of Man. They both don't think they have done anything wrong and its a bad look for them
In any normal country, they would already be in jail, not on some luxury yacht. But the UK is not a normal country, especially under the Tories.
The products were not fit for purpose ..return them for a full refund as the contract was not fulfilled.
Not mentioning that the company was set up a few days before they got the contract!
Or that hey supplied worthless PPE.
Not mentioning that there were plenty PPE companies with PPE in stock that the government ignored!
Not a very good interview Laura! What a surprise! 😂
Well that went well
They both should be in court or at the very least threw out of the house of lords, she's a thief end of
It's nay a crime ?
Call to arms for all lords
Aka fill your boots boys this is wide open and we can cash in big time
Wonder if she would really want to help if she wasn't going to benefit by millions
Not Good Enough .
Why aren’t they in jail?
absolutely mental
Neither of them appear to be very clever. I’m amazed they have managed to each make the fortunes they have. The only thing she is sorry about is getting caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
hes just a smug rich man and loves telling us how much money he has and shes a liar scrambling for her reputation , what a marriage
I'm not benefitting ....it's in a trust. No shame.
'I'm a private person' says the man who set up and paid for this interview
The absolute nerve and arogance of the pair, lied until they were forced to tell the truth, now think they can go on tv, give evasive answers , play the victim and charm their way out of this. They must think the public are stupid.
A little further right and we get Laura. But, I miss Emily.
they do love passing the buck dont they
"fundamentally where i live" wtf
""Sorry saga of bungled PPE""
What she should be saying is ""Multi Million Pounds defrauded from the Public Purse by an immoral greedy Baroness""
Why would anyone believe a word this proven liar says.
I can really really help in putting millions of pounds in my pockets of taxpayer's money. What scumbags!!!!!!!!
Strip the peerage and throw her in jail
This is no different to any other business dealing.
Pathetic trying to attack them. It’s up to the government to say yes or no whether they want it.
