.Lady Michelle Mone also lied to the public for 3 years by denying her role in this obscene deal. As a frontline NHS doctor who was so badly protected by shoddy PPE, I find her profiteering & lying disgusting. Thank you Laura Kuenssberg for a cracking interview. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Newly qualified junior doctors earn less than a THIRD of this, Sir Jeremy Hunt MP. Why do you think 98% of them just voted - again - to keep on striking? When you won’t even raise their starting salary from a pitiful £15 an hour?
