  1. Case won, but I have this uncomfortable feeling that the government will never see the money back.

    And what about all the other contracts for ultimately useless product bought through the "VIP lane"? It amounts to billions, and puts PPE Medpro in the shade.

  6. “The multimillionaire husband of the embattled Conservative peer Michelle Mone is linked to a series of tax avoidance companies that may have assisted their clients in submitting misleading claims to HMRC, documents suggest.”

    Colour me shocked. Not.

  11. Oh, look who’s stuck her head above the parapet… or rather, her “representative” has. Where are you, Miche?

    “Mone’s lawyer said at the time there were ‘a number of reasons why our client cannot comment on these issues’”, the main one being that the Guardian had her bang to rights, as is now clear from these admissions.

    “We do not comment on matters that are the subject of ongoing legal proceedings” says the Department of Health’s spokesperson, on the news that they’re suing PPE Medpro for breach of contract

  17. t.co/8at1wxCzPn #ppemedpro “won contracts through the government's so-called #viplane in 2020 after being recommended by #Conservative peer Baroness #Mone.
    The govt is attempting to get its #money #back on one of the deals, for the supply of medical gowns during the pandemic, in the High Court.
    PPE Medpro said it would "rigorously" defend the claim.
    The company accused the govt of a "cynical attempt" to recover money from suppliers who had acted in good faith+to contract specifications.”

    Ministers originally claimed it was “completely false” to say there was a VIP lane for testing contracts

    This was a lie

    Good Law Project exposed the truth as to which companies benefitted - and they’re still fighting to uncover who referred them

    Tens of thousands of people were given false negative Covid results by Immensa - and 23 are now estimated to have died as a result

    Immensa was one of the beneficiaries of the Test & Trace VIP lane, as revealed by Good Law Project

    At the time, we at Good Law Project threatened legal action, observing “We don’t know why government chose to sidestep established testing facilities in universities and hospitals to send £119m to a newly formed private company”

    When we find out *who* added Immensa to the VIP Lane, might we also find out why?
