Michelle Mone Has ‘No Wish to Return to Lords’ as Tory Peer After PPE Scandal
- Baroness Michelle Mone, made a Conservative peer in 2015, has no wish to return as a Tory in the House of Lords following a legal case involving PPE Medpro.
- The High Court ruled PPE Medpro, linked to Mone's husband, breached a Covid-19 contract supplying 25 million gowns and must repay £122 million, prompting calls to revoke her peerage.
- Mone initially denied involvement but later admitted lying, and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said the case was enough to strip her of the peerage amid party and public outrage.
- Mone described the ruling as an 'establishment win for the government' and accused Badenoch of inflammatory language that could prejudice an ongoing police investigation.
- Because the revocation of peerages requires legislation passed by Parliament—a process not undertaken in over a century—this case has reignited discussions about reform and increased calls for Mone to step down.
