Establishment networking, sleaze and corruption. A handy compendium.

She really does come across as the most charmlessly avaricious and unbelievably tacky fuckwit. Apparently she was 'incandescent with rage' when not given another contract on top of the whacking great one she'd already had.

Having to be interviewed by the police for racist abuse after a yacht crash off Monaco, all while having her properties raided by the NCA, schmoozing Michael Gove, tweeting about her fabulous jet set life during lockdown, juggling this con while arranging her wedding complete with opera singers (sounds like utter hell for the guests to be sat through this 50 year old grifter playing princess), constant threats of litigation, profiteering from misery having already made one easy fortune from literal tits, referring to herself as Lady, and naming her possessions after herself. This piece of work seems to embody everything wrong with the honours system in this country.

Lady Mone, Baroness of Mayfair indeed. She had a bit of luck selling bras - great, she should've quit while ahead. I'm not sure the 'Bar L' has women's quarters, but they should open some especially for her, and strip her title and constitutional entitlements before slamming the door shut.

I may have to join the U75 hang em high capital punishment clique, such is my anger that the actions of scum like this. In fact, I will volunteer to man the guillotine .

And they say you get more right wing as you get older

HSBC froze accounts linked to Tory peer Michelle Mone during corruption probe

Much as it pains me to say, I still think it's highly likely that they will get away with this Scott free. I will be very pleasantly surprised if they do not.

How dodgy do you have to be for an actual offshore banking service to decide you're a reputation risk to it, and tell you to close your accounts with it and disappear from their radar? I doubt she's even embarrassed about any of this, just angry and feeling hard done by.

Why is the government suing the company? We know where the money went thanks to the HSBC leak. Go after Mone and her husband. Suing a limited liability company seems like a waste of legal fees. Something does not smell right about this.

Say what you like about Putin, but the way he has historically dealt with regime-adjacent oligarchs who gamboled a little too far into the verdant uplands of Takingthepissshire certainly offers food for thought

She’ll declare bankruptcy in some very baroque manner, having transferred enough ill gotten assets for several lifetimes out of harms way. That’s the only reason they’ve given her the time to do so, and are going after an arms length company instead.

Presumably the individuals haven't been shown to have acted illegally... yet! In this instance, it would be the company that's liable rather than the individuals. If it becomes a clear matter of fraud then they should be up before the beak... unless they've got the posh that's get out of jail free card.

HSBC closed their account(s) when they realised what was going on. I am more of the opinion that they're going after the company as a PR exercise and will not go after Mone and Barrowman personally because they are afraid of what they may disclose in any investigation/court case. I believe Gove signed off on some or all of this.

The money's already been transferred to offshore trusts of which she and her kids are beneficiaries.
