Has anyone watched the BBC interview this morning?
AIBU to think there is no way the pair of them are convincing anyone that they have done nothing wrong?

Just squeezed on to the today programme this morning - she took the publishers of a newspaper to court for saying she/they had used the money to buy a boat (the lady m aka the pandemic princess) they are now suing her for their legal expenses

The trust money would go to her and her children. So she would get some of it.

I’m sure part of the reason it has gone into a trust is so they can avoid tax again.

Now she’s saying pitifully if my husband should die… tries to look sad but fails, …then I would benefit .

Obviously she could be lying, but even if the money only goes to her children, she can spend money now, safe in the knowledge that her children will inherit millions.

I'm just wondering, is this just a UK issue? (Lucky us!) Or did EU other countries have corruption by officials on this scale with regard to PPE? If so, why were we so unfortunate to have toerags in charge of procurement?

I'm struggling to see which other EU country was led by a similar bunch of useless grifters as ours was during the pandemic.

As people died the NHS on the brink of collapse , doctors almost on the point of choosing to decide who gets to live and who is left in a corridor to die, MM and her equally greedy other half seize the chance to make loads of money with shoddy goods they knew wouldn’t help.
Now she’s saying pitifully if my husband should die… tries to look sad but fails, …then I would benefit .Really not before that Michelle? not a penny of his income will come your way? What a strange relationship you must have
Then some shite tying herself in knots about it’s like if my dad brought home his pay packet to her mum , yes you and your family would benefit, not just if he died!
Layra K too soft on them, the money should be seized and returned she’s stolen that money from us all , as for David Cameron making her a peer proving himself once again a Prize idiot.

Cash from chaos. They were all at it.

Most were, yes. There were a handful of people trying to do the right thing but there were many more on the take. MM was one of the worse. Another woman who hit the press at the time was equally as awful. It's not just the profiteering but it's the bareface lying and the threats that went on that made it so much worse.

Exactly - they will argue that they have technically not done anything wrong but everybody knows they’re morally bankrupt.

Fraud will cover it. Millions of pounds worth of useless product.

LOVED the way she denied she will benefit from the £60million profit… because Doug could divorce her or she could die before him 😂 I mean there are no words really, they must think we the public have fluff between the ears!

Something quite delicious watching rich, slimy people trying to worm out of serious situations and destroying themselves in the process🍿

I suspect she would change her tune on this if they actually divorced.

For some reason I am pissing myself with Nadine Dorries wading in asking questions like "What fucking idiot gave that women a peerage ?" (and she won't like the answer it was Lord Cameron....).

Hopefully this will be the end of the English honours system.

I think that might be the point. For some reason she thinks Cameron et al, but not Johnson, are posh boys who didn’t show her enough respect.

@cheezncrackers she may have spent a lot on surgery but there's def something off with her lips. They don't move with the rest of her face. Most strange!
Subtle they're not!

Those photos of her living the high life over the last couple of years (they’re on Twitter) must have been digitally enhanced because she looks nothing like that on the interview. I thought she’d been sucking a lemon. (Ok I’m being bitchy but I don’t care.)

Ah, who had a Shergarburger back in the day ?

Loving the way Gove is trying to distract with some flim clam bollocks about Sadiq Khan to deflect from his involvement in this corruption.

Tomorrow’s DM headline will be about Khan and not an investigation into what Gove knew and when. His ex-wife, Sarah Vine, needs to protect their kids inheritance so she can’t have his rep and future business dealings threatened.

And then Keirs beer
and then but Jeremy Corbyn
and then Hunter Bidens laptop
and then Lord Lucan
and then

Ah, you have to take the joys where you can find them on this one.

But MN said women in power would behave so much better than the men”

I didn’t ! MN is not an homogenous blob.
