Gina Miller in savage attack on May: 'PM is the person taking rights AWAY from Britons'
GINA MILLER has laid into Theresa May claiming she is “determined to take away rights from British citizens” as she revealed why she took the UK Government to court in the wake of Brexit.
The businesswoman attacked Mrs May for her “Brexit means Brexit” promise describing it as “facile non-sequitur” - the Latin for an “invalid argument”.
Mrs Miller strongly denied she wanted to go against the will of the people following the momentous June referendum and instead argued Mrs May was the person doing just that.
Writing in an article in the website New Europe’s: Our World in 2017, she said: “The Theresa May Government is determined to invoke the Royal Prerogative to change domestic legislation and take away rights from British citizens.

“This would not just undermine parliamentary sovereignty, but it would also set a dangerous precedent.”
The Prime Minister has insisted that she can bypass the British parliament to leave the European Union by using an ancient law.
But Mrs Miller took the Government to the High Court to challenge Mrs May’s assumed royal prerogative to trigger Article 50 and launch the exit process without a vote in Parliament.
The article also written by Ivo Illic Gabara, CEO of Gabara Strategies, added: “It is important to stress that the Gina Miller challenge was never intended to go against the will of the people expressed in the June 23rd EU Referendum.
“On the contrary, by seeking to ensure that the Government respects and acts within the rule of the law, the Gina Miller is profoundly democratic.”
The Supreme Court’s 11 judges are currently considering an appeal by the Government.
If the judges support Mrs Miller, Theresa May will be forced to push a bill through Parliament.
However, Mrs Miller says taking “drastic action” without consulting Parliament would be a “dangerous political issue for Britain” and would “rock the very foundations of Britain’s constitution”.

Mrs Miller has received harsh criticism following her challenge, which Brexiteers argued undermined the will of the people.
However the anti-Brexit campaigner seems undeterred.
The article added: “No Government can be allowed to violate urge most basic of British constitutional rules - that is the only Parliament that can grant rights, and only Parliament that can diminish or extinguish rights.
“That is why Gina Miller put her head above the parapet and this is why she was prepared to endure whatever backlash was to be expected.”
