The Remainer is hoping to raise £10,000 to finance a tour of marginal constituencies in a bid to push the case for a soft exit from the EU.

She said: "We need to prevent MPs and the people being forced into an extreme Brexit that is not in Britain's best interests.
"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."

The crowdfunding page has already reached close to £5,000.
Ms Miller was born in British Guiana to Savitri and Doodnauth Singh, who later became Attorney General of Guyana.
