Now Soros pledges £100,000 more

GEORGE Soros last night pledged an extra £100,000 to an anti-Brexit campaign.

The US billionaire has already given the Best for Britain group £400,000.

Yesterday he defended the decision to pump cash into the organisation as he denied accusations he is ‘undermining democracy’. He said: ‘The trend is moving in the right direction. The question is how it... can be accelerated so that it reaches a tipping point in the next six to nine months.’ Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Mr Soros – known as the man who broke the Bank of England for his actions on Black Wednesday in 1992 – added he said he was a ‘proud supporter’ of Best for Britain.

The group’s chief executive, Eloise Todd, said the extra funds were a rebuff to those who said his funding for the campaign was anti-democratic.
