Brexit blocker's war with EU-hating husband: She said he physically abused her... he said she cheated on him and had a drink problem

The former model who blocked Theresa May's Brexit plans was embroiled in an extraordinary row last night, claiming she was inspired to take on the Government after defying her abusive anti-EU ex-husband. 


Gina Miller said she was given legal protection after being physically attacked by Jon Maguire, who stood on an anti-Brussels platform at the 2010 General Election. Mrs Miller said businessman Mr Maguire abused her before their marriage broke up 13 years ago. It gave her the strength to defy the online rape and death threats she received as a result of her historic Brexit court challenge, she told The Mail on Sunday. Last night, Mr Maguire, 55, accused Mrs Miller of 'lying'. He vehemently denied attacking her and claimed she had had a 'drink problem' since she was a teenager.
