The disgraced Michelle Mone has refused to take part in the BBC documentary ‘The Rise and Fall of Michelle Mone’ which has made a further series of allegations about the scandal hit politician. Mone refused to quit the House of Lords despite admitting that she had lied about her involvement and links with PPE contacts. Mone defended herself by saying that “lying to the press is not a crime”, rejecting the potential damage to the integrity of the political process. Despite threats made against them by Mone, David Conn and other journalists from the Guardian newspaper continued to seek the truth over her personal conduct.
Stripped of the Conservative whip and subject to a National Crime Agency investigation, she refused to respond to allegations made by former advisers and legal experts that were made on the programme.
The documentary asks, “How did one of the UK’s most lauded entrepreneurs become its most notorious Covid profiteer?” and the programme will be available on BBC iPlayer.
