Brendan O’Hara – 2022 Statement Calling for Suspension of Michelle Mone

The statement made by Brendan O’Hara, the SNP spokesperson for the Cabinet Office, on 4 December 2022.

Rishi Sunak pledged when he took office that he would lead a government with integrity.

It is now only right that he matches that rhetoric with action and suspends the whip from Baroness Mone and addresses the serious questions hanging over this entire shameful episode.

Of course perhaps the reason the Tory government doesn’t want to talk about Baroness Mone’s millions is that she is only the tip of a very large iceberg of its politically connected pals who benefited like this.

That is why there should be an independent investigation into the full extent of this profiteering at a time of national crisis.

I think most fair-minded people would agree it is obscene that people were able to make such vast profits from a government PPE contract while the country suffered through the pandemic.
