Gina Miller admits how much she's spent fighting Brexit
The leading anti-Brexit campaigner argued it was her personal money and it was up to her how she spent it, claiming she couldn’t think of a better way.
Speaking on LBC, Ms Miller said: "It's about uploading the verdict on my case, which ruled that only parliament can decide on people's rights.
"It's just upholding that judgement, it's not a new case."
Even passionate Brexiteer Nick Ferrari, who has moaned about the 51-year-old in the past, was impressed.

The radio host said:"Might I ask you how much have you spent to date?
Ms Miller replied: "Well more than I anticipated as I never thought it was going to go to the supreme court. It's quite a lot... We're talking hundreds of thousands."
Ferrari then pushed her on a more exact figure, to which she replied "a bit less than" £300,000.
He said: “You could have had a couple of really nice cars from that, why are you doing this?
“I’m very impressed that you’re taking it this far, that is a heck of a chunk of change Gina Miller.”
Ms Miller who brought the case that made the Government introduce the current Article 50 legislation, has said she could fund another challenge to force ministers to let Parliament fully scrutinise the final Brexit deal and vote on all the available options, if such a pledge was not written into the current Bill.
The businesswoman insisted she could not and was not trying to stop Brexit but was fighting for it to be a "democratic process" and for Parliament to be sovereign, as Leave campaigners had said it would be if Britain left the EU.
Ms Miller has previously argued it was the “sovereign duty” for Britain’s divorce from the EU to be signed off in Westminster.
The Government has vowed to fight the House of Lords over its Article 50 Bill defeat on Wednesday - although the Prime Minister has been warned she could face a House of Commons rebellion.
A total of 358 peers voted in favour of an amendment to the Government’s Bill guaranteeing the rights of European Union nationals already living in the UK, with 256 voting against.
