Gina Miller: ‘We’ve called the government’s bluff’
Stephen Dixon filled in for Sophy Ridge this week, and began by interviewing Gina Miller. Miller and her legal team are due to bring a court case in early September to determine key questions about the government’s delivery of a no deal Brexit. This morning, Miller claimed a victory for her side as the government has said that they will no longer try to suspend Parliament in order to reach a no deal Brexit without a vote:
"We have basically called their bluff."@thatginamiller tells #Ridge the government has conceded and said it would be "illegal" to close down parliament to force through a no-deal #Brexit.

GM: …Unequivocally they accept that to close down Parliament, to bypass them in terms of Brexit… is illegal. So without having to go to court, they’ve conceded.
