Michelle Mone says she won't step down as Tory peer - and accuses chancellor of 'endangering' her Baroness Mone has written to the prime minister accusing the chancellor of endangering her life with her comments, citing the murders of Jo Cox and David Amess as evidence of the risk facing parliamen...

Of MPs this century, Islamists and the Far Right have murdered one each. Yet while #Prevent is under fire over #DavidAmess, #MI5 has been employing a Nazi who took a machete to his girlfriend, and lying about it to three courts of law. #Newsnight #Peston davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/02/nati...

Was a grifter.

A self-proclaimed "Devout Catholic" who voted at every opportunity to disenfranchise the poor, the hungry and kids who went without a free meal at schools.
