Anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller afraid of leaving home after acid attack threats

Gina Miller is reportedly afraid to leave her home after receiving threats of acid attacks. 

In an interview with Verdict magazine, the 52-year-old said her life had completely changed in the wake of her appeal to the High Court over Article 50.

The businesswoman brought a successful challenge to the High Court and Supreme Court against the Government's right to trigger Article 50 and begin Brexit negotiations. 

Her action ensured Theresa May needed to put a bill through Parliament to legally allow her to begin the withdrawal process - and made Miller a target of abuse from Brexiteers.

The 52-year-old revealed she'd been getting threats of acid attacks, which have made her afraid to leave her home - where she has installed 24-hour security.

Miller said she would even consider leaving the UK if the threats became too much to deal with.

Acid attacks have become a topic of national concern after a recent spate of incidents in London and across the country.
