Speaking to The Sunday Times about her decision to sound the alarm over the way the country is being run, she said she felt compelled to speak out about those in charge during the country’s hour of need.

“There were wonderful people, good human beings, trying to help other human beings, yet for others it was a time of immense greed”, she said.

“I can’t get my head around it. 

“To defraud the scared and the dying is the lowest you can go. 

“And it was enabled by a Tory government that has never aplogised, not ever. 

“Well, they say, we were doing our best but NO, NO, NO, NO. 

“Doing their best would have been finding someone who said, ‘I think I can get access to PPE but I don’t want any profit, just my cost covered’.

“Not, ‘I’ve got this shell company, or I’ve just made up a company, and I want to make millions of pounds out of it’.
