Baroness Michelle Mone, 52, (pictured) has received abuse on social media and had hate mail sent to her place of work and home in the Isle of Man, where she lives with her husband Doug Barrowman. Speaking of the abuse, a friend of Mone told The Times: 'It has been totally horrendous.' They added: 'It has affected her mental health.' Mone and Barrowman have been questioned under caution by officers at the National Crime Agency (NCA), which has been investigating the pair about allegations of bribery and fraud. Both deny the allegations. The couple has been advised for the last 18 months by Will Geddes (right), a top security consultant who is said to charge up to £3,000 a day.

A 46-year-old man from Barnet, north London, this week became the latest business associate of Mone, 52, and her husband, Doug Barrowman, 59, to be quizzed as part of the National Crime Agency's (NCA) probe. He was held at his home on Wednesday having been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud and attempting to pervert the course of justice. The man was later released under investigation.

They were charged with misappropriation and tax evasion after they were connected to a 2008 cable factory purchase.

David Cameron has defended his decision to nominate Michelle Mone for a peerage as she and her husband face allegations of corruption and bribery. After being called forward by the then Prime Minister, Baroness Mone was made a Tory life peer in 2015. During the pandemic, the lingerie tycoon lobbied the Cabinet Office to recruit lucrative PPE Medpro, a company in which her husband Doug Barrowman was involved. Through the so-called VIP channel, the company was then offered contracts to supply the NHS with personal protection equipment (PPE). However, the couple are now under scrutiny by the National Crime Agency (NCA) as part of a money laundering probe into PPE Medpro.

The six-bedroom house in Eaton Terrace, central London, was put on an interim court order as part of a £75 million worth of property that could be confiscated if the couple were charged with the Covid PPE case. However, the house was sold in autumn alongside their £6.8 million Lady M Yacht, which became widely known after Tory peer, 52, posted a snapshot of her on the mega boat saying, "Professional isn't straightforward." However, it is rewarding.'

However, Rees-Mogg man would need to inform Lord Johnson, the Investment Minister, with whom he co-founded hedge fund Somerset Capital in 2007. His lordship spent a considerable time at this year's Davos gathering, going so far as to say that the festival had provided 'terrible opportunities' to highlight the UK's technological and investment credentials. With mates like that...

The Tory peer argued that PPE Medpro, which she and her husband Doug Barrowman's investment, did not have any financial gain whatsoever," according to emails sent to the Cabinet Office. She told The Guardian that she had "no conflict of interest" in 2020, five months before she was allegedly transferred to a trust for her benefit. Lady Mone, who was dubbed Baroness Bra because of her lingerie business, has later stated that PPE Medpro will continue to help her. In the emails, she said, 'My job is to ensure that the NHS achieves its PPE goals and ultimately save lives.' Lady Mone, 52, said her husband, 58, was 'passionate about the NHS, and she wanted to help' during the crisis by negotiating lower rates.

CRAIG BROWN: Michelle Mone and her partner Doug Barrowman have brought together a large team of people to help them restore their image in the wake of all their woes, Doug Barrowman and her husband's wife's divorce. They include solicitor Dan Morrison, whose website boasts him as a 'active litigator; Dan Jukes, who used to be Nigel Farage's chief of communications; and Arthur Lancaster, 'a long-time business associate of the Duke of York.' With that lot on board, what could possibly go wrong? To help them become more popular, the majority of people use PR to make them more popular. Mone and Barrowman, on the other hand, are the opposite: they are yearning for anonymity after being buried in the headlines for far too long. Might I suggest a much cheaper way of going about it? Only £48.32 to update your name by deed poll, a real bargain in these inflationary times.

According to a court order, anti-corruption investigators have frozen £75 million in assets linked to Baroness Michelle Mone and her partner Douglas Barrowman.

Any of the Glasgow-born father-of-four's answers in English, translated into Spanish by a translator sitting alongside him at the Provincial Court of Cantabria in the northern port city of Santander, were only a few words long. Barrowman arrived at court flanked by two guys in suits and then left the court by a back door before getting into a taxi. Baroness Mone, 52, did not appear at the court in Santander for the new installment of his trial.

'Baroness Bra's husband appeared in Spanish court today to face the charges, but he failed in an attempt to get the lawsuit dismissed straight away.

PPE Medpro is owned by a consortium led by Mr Barrowman; it later emerged that the company was placed in a VIP pandemic priority lane for government work following a Tory peer Mone's suggestion, who initially denied any affiliations with the company.

Doug Barrowman, Michelle Mone's husband, has spoken out against ministers' "lamentable mistakes" when purchasing personal protective equipment during the pandemic. Mr Barrowman, a former Twitter king, said it's'suits the government's scheme to "scapegoat' him and his wife for their part in manufacturing items that can shield against coronavirus infections, according to Lady Mone's PPE Medpro's post.
