Today is the High Court's deadline for a firm linked to Baroness Michelle Mone to repay £122m for supplying defective PPE at the height of the pandemic, with no indication the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) will be paid in full.

PPE Medpro, the company founded by her husband Doug Barrowman and introduced to a "VIP lane" for providers by the Conservative peer, has until 4pm to make the payment.
