PPE Medpro has been liquidated but because it has only £0.6m only £0.6m of the £148m debt will be repaid.
A Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), placed against Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman (worth £500m+) would allow all the money to be recovered.

PPE firm linked to Michelle Mone wound up after being ordered to pay back £148m
The decision, made by a judge at a hearing on Thursday, could mean that the Government is unlikely to see most of the £148 million owed to it by the company.

I honestly expected more from a FIFA Peace Prize recipient
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Another excellent example of Trump behaving totally normal and sane.
Trump: “I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it."

How do you stop people protesting against genocide?
Our news media has decided the answer is to stop reporting genocide, rather than to insist that politicians stop supporting genocide.
This is the world we live in.

There is no ceasefire in Gaza - hundreds of Palestinians have been murdered in recent weeks. Instead, there is a news blackout arranged under the pretence of a ceasefire to suppress public outrage while Israel keeps killing.

How many times has Israel violated the Gaza ceasefire? Here are the numbers
Since the ceasefire took effect, Israeli attacks have killed at least 377 Palestinians and injured 987.
