Anti-Brexit plot leader is £30m banker’s wife

The leader of a plot to derail the Brexit vote in the courts has been revealed as the glamorous wife of a City tycoon.

Gina Miller (pictured), a former model, is spearheading a legal challenge to stop Theresa May triggering Article 50.

The group launched its challenge at the high Court on Tuesday, arguing that an Act of Parliament will be required to deploy Article 50.

The outspoken Mrs Miller, 51, is married to multi-millionaire asset manager Alan Miller, known as Mr hedge Fund, who made more than £30million in the City. ‘The Leavers were arguing about sovereignty . . . well, this is an issue of sovereignty of Parliament,’ she says.

The couple jointly set up and run investment firm sCM Capital, sitting opposite each another in an openplan office. Guyanaborn Gina has said: ‘Most men wouldn’t work with their wives.

‘Alan is completely respectful of what I do. I run the business in sales and marketing; Alan runs the money.’

But who wears the trousers?
