‘Who voted for Gina Miller? NOBODY!’ Backlash at ‘unelected' Remainer's latest challenge
GINA Miller has been criticised for her latest challenge against the Government - after the Remainer successfully forced the Conservatives’ deal with the Democratic Unionist Party to undergo “parliamentary authorisation”.

The businesswoman, who previously led a successful legal challenge against Brexit, had lodged a complaint against the Government’s post-election £1billion agreement with the DUP.
Following Mrs Miller’s challenge, the Treasury’s solicitor today admitted the deal will need to have “appropriate parliamentary authorisation”.
But the latest interference from the staunch Remainer has drawn anger from Ukip MEP Jane Collins who told Express.co.uk: "I must have missed that time we voted for Gina Miller to run the country.

"She is not elected, she is just someone using her considerable wealth to launch legal challenges to get her own way on the UK remaining in the EU.”

It is the latest condemnation of Mrs Miller by eurosceptic critics.
Earlier this year, Mrs Miller won a case forcing the Prime Minister to seek Parliamentary approval before triggering Article 50.
Conservative MP John Redwood said of that case: “Gina Miller and her legal challenge helped delay our exit by nine months, which is costing us an extra £9billion as a result. Let’s ensure there are no more delays.”

However, Mrs Miller has denied her legal actions were designed to frustrate the UK’s exit from the European Union.
She has insisted her objections were over the Prime Minister attempting to override parliament.
And, in June, director of cross-party grassroots campaign Get Britain Out, Jayne Adye, called on Mrs Miller to stop "wasting her time" and realise "Brexit Great Britain is here to stay".
That followed Mrs Miller launching a campaign to soften the Prime Minister’s Brexit plan, which gave cash to 35 Remain MPs to help them to retain their seat in the snap election.

However, only one in five gained a seat in Parliament.
Mrs Adye said: “This General Election has shown Miller’s Brexit war is truly weak against the democratic will of the people.”
Mrs Miller has been paid “an undisclosed sum” for her memoirs on Brexit, which are due to be published next year.
