It's not just Mone. Private Eye wrote all this up last year. Someone at the Grauniad must have picked up an old copy in the doctors waiting room and followed the money trail to Mone. There's more than just a few others where companies that were barely doing any business suddenly banked millions in new off-shore tax haven registered holding company accounts. Mone just happens to be in the public eye. As for her taking time off from The Lords, hell nowt new there. She's only made 4 or 5 appearances to since her maiden speech to actually say anything (whether of actual importance or not), but has still trousered £'000's in "appearance money and expenses".
