WOMEN could have told you Baroness Mone’s PPE would be overpriced and unusable because the same went for her bras.
Following the Tory peer’s leave of absence from the House of Lords to fight allegations of making millions from faulty PPE, women who had the misfortune to wear Ultimo bras have asked if they can have an inquiry of their own.
Susan Traherne said: “Her, selling stuff to protect you from Covid? She couldn’t even protect you from an underwire skewering your boob mid-meeting. I speak from experience.
“If the PPE had the same quality control as the Ultimo range the nurses would have been struggling to keep their tits in, never mind the novel coronavirus out.
“I imagine the PPE looked nice in the shop. Perhaps it was bought for the NHS by a husband who didn’t really understand the practicalities required and whose head was bamboozled by unlikely fantasies. Matt Hancock for example.
“But £122m of gowns in storage, never used because they didn’t work? Sounds exactly like the 60 quid of useless Ultimo shoved at the back of my knicker drawer.”
She added: “Could M&S not have had a crack at PPE?”
