Baroness Mone, the disgraced Peer who admitted lying to the media as to her links with PPE Medpro, has denied allegations made by the Daily Mail that she bullied builders who were working on her London house.
Mone said in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, that:
“It is deeply upsetting to read yet another false story, this time from a man who, seven years later, has chosen to sell a lie to make money from my name.”
Mone, who is resisting cross-party calls for her to quit the House of Lords following her lies to the media and also remains under investigation by the National Crime Agency, added:
“This is not journalism; it is persecution. But I will not be broken. I will continue to speak the truth.”
Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the Opposition, said in October about Mone:
“I want to make sure is that people can see that the Conservative Party is a party of integrity. That’s why we removed Michelle Mone from our party. And it’s very, very important that people see that politicians, whether they’re in the Commons or in the Lords, are acting above board.”
