Photo of her all over the press and news this morning. Blonde hair falling all over her shoulders and an expression that looked rather smug to me. Both quite out of place.
I endorsed the very sideways expression of the woman on her right.

Does she live in Mayfair?

The title doesn’t necessarily reflect their birthplace. Michelle Mone, renowned for her successful lingerie business and allegedly making a £65 million profit from dud covid PPE , was born in the east end of Glasgow. She is now Baroness Mone of Mayfair. You couldn’t make it up.

Disgraceful.

Yes. I know she interned for five (?) years but how did she do that? Must be pretty wealthy to survive in London all that time.
Who are her family?

And what about the "of" part?
Does anyone know?
Thanks.

She ‘worked* for Boris, not particularly well thought of.

Youngest life peer sworn in yesterday.
This still amazes me.
And why don't we know anything about her?

Also, does this mean she lives in Alderly Edge or was born there, or her family is from there?
I love Alderly Edge!

Also, know Peers are often (always?) "of" somewhere but how is this decided?
