Gina Miller slated for UNBELIEVABLE reason why UK ‘may as well remain’ in EU
GINA MILLER claimed Britain “may as well remain” in the EU but was shut down by Remainer frontbencher David Gauke who said Ms Miller must "respect" the vote of the British people.
Arch-remoaner Gina Miller claimed Brexiteers would have preferred to remain in the European Union if a deal is anything other than a “clean Brexit” or a “hard Brexit”.
And in a shocking justification, she said she was even considering backing a second referendum because she was beginning to "trust" the opinions of voters.
That was despite 17.4million Brexit-winning voters being dismissed by Ms Miller last year in a court challenge in what was seen as a bid to frustrate the will of the people.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4, the businesswoman said: “I would like to ask them that question because we would be worse off than we are now because to lose our voice is one of the saddest things I think from us withdrawing, in that we were the draftsman.
“We were leading many of the good things that were being done in the EU.
“So I think it’s a very good question and I say that now that because of this development we should have remaining back on the table as an option.”

Perhaps trusting the people might be better than trusting some of our politicians
Ms Miller said she was not a fan of a second referendum but insisted the performance or politicians “lying and deceiving” the public has changed her mind.
She said: “I am coming round to the idea that perhaps trusting the people might be better than trusting some of our politicians.”
But Work and Pensions Secretary David Gauke MP hit back and said: “The British public voted to leave the European Union. I campaigned to Remain.
“But I think we have to respect that result.”
Mr Gauke said that Britain’s future relationship with the European Union must reflect the desire of the British people and that would mean leaving the single market and customs union.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker agreed on Friday that enough progress has been made on key Brexit issues in order to move on to trade talks.
The Brexit deal received a mix of responses, with some Brexiteer MPs arguing that Britain should leave with no deal.
Leave campaigner Nigel Farage said the Brexit deal is “pathetic” and Mrs May had crossed her red lines.

Mr Farage told LBC: “In reality, it means that this transition phase by which I mean membership of the EU but not in name, is going to go on until the next general election and that will be nearly six years after people voted Brexit.
“It’s just not good enough.”
The Prime Minister had to make three concessions to the EU on a number of issues, including raising the divorce deal to up to £40billion, and allowing family members of migrants to move to Britain, which has been criticised by staunch Brexiteers.
