Gina’s Corbyn fear

Unrequited love

GINA Miller was “more worried about a certain Mr Corbyn” than Brexit when she successfully took the Government to court in 2016.

In a speech to asset management firm Amundi, the businesswoman and campaigner, right, revealed that it was her fears about the Labour leader that drove her legal bid to ensure Parliament would have a vote on Brexit.

“If a prime minister had been able to use the royal prerogative... to alter people’s rights,” she explained, ALEXANDRIA Ocasio-Cortez has distanced herself from Jeremy Corbyn over Labour’s antiSemitism problem. But Labour is still keen to hitch its campaigns to the Democrat darling. Shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey is addressing a “Green New Deal” event at Imperial College London today “inspired by Ocasio-Cortez’s push for a Green New Deal”. Long-Bailey, Corbyn’s favoured successor, is speaking alongside Zack Exley, cofounder of Justice Democrats, the movement that recruited AOC. The lecture opens “a dialogue between US organisers, the Labour Party and climate movements”. it would have “set a precedent that a future prime minister could also do that. Labour could [have] come in with Mr Corbyn having that power.

“I was more worried about him than... Brexit.”

Of the Labour leader’s current Brexit strategy, she says: “Mr Corbyn is a Brexiteer and he doesn’t want us to stay in the EU.

“He’s playing exactly the same game as May, which is running down the clock.”

What about the promise

SLIGHTLY premature celebrations in South Kensington last night, as Betty Bachz, Amber Le Bon and Lady Sabrina Percy attended a champagne dinner hosted by Perrier-Jouët and Atelier Romy to celebrate Valentine’s Day at Restaurant Ours. In Fitzrovia, perfumer Azzi Glasser hosted an event as part of The Mandrake Hotel’s artist-inresidence programme, which sees Glasser offer “personalised fragrance styling” and “love potion” workshops. Alan Carr was on hand to assist. The comedian recently appeared on Desert Island Discs where he poked fun at his voice: “I did an interview once with Janet Street-Porter, and it was basically like two seagulls fighting over a chip.”Meanwhile, Outlander actor Nell Hudson and fashion designer Daniel Lismore were on Soho’s Kingly Street attending the launch of new members’ club The Court. It’s built on the site of former music venue Bag O’Nails, where Sir Paul McCartney met his first wife Linda.

PALMERSTON, the Foreign Office cat, has been given a “tracker collar” to monitor his whereabouts at weekends, it’s been revealed. Perhaps his owners want to avoid the situation that befell Gladstone, the Treasury cat, who was also left alone over weekends and fouled under staffers’s desks.
