Michelle Mone says she has ‘no wish’ to remain a Conservative peer

Mone hits out at Kemi Badenoch after Tory leader says PPE Medpro scandal has brought shame on party

Michelle Mone has said she has “no wish” to return to the House of Lords as a Conservative peer after a company linked to her was ordered to repay millions of pounds for breaching a Covid-19 PPE contract.

In a letter to Kemi Badenoch, Lady Mone accused the Tory leader of using “inflammatory language” against her and suggested she was leading the party to extinction.
