Michelle Mone has hit back at Rishi Sunak over his intervention in the PPE row, insisting ministers knew about her involvement in the lucrative contract from the beginning.

The Tory peer is facing calls to be barred from the House of Lords, with the prime minister insisting today that Downing Street was taking the case “incredibly seriously”.

But Baroness Mone fired off an angry message at Mr Sunak, writing on Twitter/X: “What is Mr Sunak talking about?

“I was honest with the Cabinet Office, the government and the NHS in my dealings with them. They all knew about my involvement from the very beginning.”
