Gina Miller plots anti-Brexit tour to STOP Leave MPs winning seats in General Election
GINA Miller has raised more than £150,000 in her new campaign against an "extreme Brexit" at the General Election.
Ms Miller won a Supreme Court battle in January to give Parliament a say on Brexit, claiming her challenge was “about legal process not politics”.
Yet now the businesswoman plans to tour marginal constituencies around the country ahead of the General Election in a desperate bid to reduce the chances of pro-Leave MPs securing their seats.

The 52-year-old said her campaign will back pro-EU candidates as the Government does not have the mandate to remove people’s relationship with Europe.
Ms Miller said: “We will support candidates who campaign for a real final vote on Brexit, including rejecting any deal that leaves Britain worse off.
“We will use the money to back candidates who pledge to support a full and free vote on the Brexit deal. We will also work with organisations with the same goals.”
She added: “We need to prevent MPs and the people being forced into an extreme Brexit that is not in Britain’s best interests.”
Yesterday her crowdfunding page raised a whopping £160,000 in just one day – with more than 5,000 people donating to her cause after she urged voters to “do what’s best for Britain”.
News of her anti-Brexit tour comes after she announced plans to launch a new company "UK-EU Open Policy Limited" with proposals to pressure Theresa May into negotiating a soft Brexit.
Speaking to the Financial Times, Mrs Miller defended her decision to keep battling the Government’s Brexit plans.
She said: “We’ve somehow ended up in this place where that whole premise of the will of the people has somehow made everyone else impotent."
