Over 230,000 people sign petition to remove Michelle Mone from House of Lords

An online petition to have Island-based Michelle Mone removed from the House of Lords has reached more than 230,000 signatures.

The petition on the 38 degrees website says she should be removed from the House of Lords after admitting lying to the media about her links to a firm which won government contracts worth more than £200 million during the pandemic.

The baroness, who lives in St Marks, is currently under investigation by the National Crime Agency in the UK over the contracts.
