Michelle Mone hits back at Sunak

‘When you’re in a hole, stop digging.’ It’s a famous mantra known to all; everyone that is, except for Michelle Mone. The lingerie tycoon has spent most of the past 24 hours railing against critics on her Twitter/X account, following her disastrous interview with Laura Kuenssberg in which she admitted she lied when denying involvement with a company that won UK government deals to provide personal protective equipment during the pandemic.

Having criticised moderators for inserting a ‘reader added context’ note in one post about PPE Medpro’s contracts, she suffered the indignity of having another added in her follow-up complaint about it being ‘very biased and factually incorrect’. But now ‘Baroness Bra’ has a new target in her sights: the Prime Minister. It follows Rishi Sunak’s visit to Scotland earlier today, in which he said, with regards to the allegations about her that ‘the government takes these things incredibly seriously, which is why we’re pursuing legal action against the company concerned in these matters.
