Rishi Sunak 'absolutely shocked' by Michelle Mone revelations

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stated that he was shocked to read allegations that involved the Conservative peer Michelle Mone. This happened after Leader of the Labour Party Keir Starmer used the prime minister's questions to inquire about how Michelle Mone received millions from the profits of a PPE company.

Rishi Sunak's response to the Labour Leader

As per the available information, the Labour leader Starmer questioned how Baroness Mone attained roughly £30 million in taxpayer monies in her bank account. Sunak responded by saying that even he was surprised to know that.

He said that she no longer holds the Conservative whip because she is no longer a member of the House of Lords. The only thing we know about the honorable gentleman is that a system is in place because he is a lawyer. We should halt that procedure in the hopes that it will be rapidly resolved.

Starmer asked the reason why PM Sunak was shocked

While saying everyone can see what's occurring here, Starmer questioned Sunak about Mone again. He asked how he was surprised by this situation. Also, he is the one who signed the cheques. However, Sunak didn't answer the question but talked about train strikes.
