6 months ago the courts decided that Michelle Mone owed the Government £232,000,000. Since then she has jetted round the world spending that money and the Conservatives have done nothing to collect it. If it were you would be in jail awaiting trial.

🚨🔥 And again. But not Rhodes, this is Corfu, 600 miles away, in the last hour. Evacuations underway in several areas. We are in a climate emergency and those who pretend otherwise will never be forgiven.
