Gina Miller appeared to pop up from nowhere and became a household name for taking two governments to the Supreme court and winning – twice!
She is a prominent businesswoman, a passionate philanthropist, and a responsible capitalist who has campaigned in the areas of investment and pension reform, political transparency and scrutiny, modern-day slavery, social justice, and the charity sector.
Bloomberg described Gina as an ‘Establishment Wrecking Ball’ but her drive for transparency, scrutiny and integrity is about reform, not wrecking. Her expertise and areas of work cover investments, charities, democracy and political processes; as well as social justice. As a passionate believer in responsible capitalism, Miller believes we all have a civic duty to be actively engaged in challenging contemporary issues facing businesses, politics and wider society.
The newspapers have written countless pieces on her, she's been called 'The Most Hated Woman in Britain', 'a Bloody Difficult Woman, 'a Black Widow Spider', and an 'Establishment Wrecking Ball'.
In 2016, Gina successfully challenged the Government over its authority to implement Brexit, winning in both the High Court and Supreme Court. In 2018 she continued a ‘democracy and legality’ watching brief of the UK Government’s activities, including challenging the legality of the £1 billion payment to Northern Ireland for the 10 DUP votes, and the power grab within the EU Withdrawal Bill.
She is an inspiration to many and to others, the perfect target for online abuse. So who is the real Gina Miller? What drives her?
Why does she keep coming back for more? How does she cope with the pressure? Come and find out!
Gina Miller also announced that she will be running to become MP for Epsom and Ewell at the next elections with her new party, True & Fair Party UK, where she will be up against prominent Tory MP, Chris Grayling.
Gina explains that 'the state of our British politics is a result of a political system no longer fit for purpose. A machinery of government with embedded systemic failures, lack of transparency and scrutiny has allowed in poor quality politicians, a culture of corruption, disgraceful standards and poor policy-making that is failing the people of Britain'.
