The Daily Mail newspaper has today claimed there is a £5.6million plan to thwart Brexit.
Leaked papers apparently show that a pro-Remain group has launched a six-month plan to stop Britain leaving the EU.
Backed by billionaire financier George Soros, Best for Britain aims to spend nearly £6million on the campaign, according to the documents.
They allegedly reveal that the group will contradict whatever final agreement Theresa May strikes with Brussels – arguing it is 'not what we voted for'.
Best for Britain wants to persuade MPs to vote down the Prime Minister's deal in October.
The plans include using trade unions to change Labour's stance on Brexit.
It will also see an advertising blitz, social media, a speaking tour by leading Labour Remainers and local campaigning.
Best for Britain has amassed a £2.4million already but is asking wealthy donors for £3.2million more, saying: 'We have less than six months to stop Brexit.'
The 26-page plan reveals that:
Best for Britain will claim leaving the EU will put national security at risk;
Remain activists will blame Brexit for funding cuts at local councils;
They will also claim Leave voters were rejecting Westminster and not Brussels.
It is understood that Best for Britain started sending the documents to potential donors over the past few days.
Former Cabinet minister Owen Paterson said they reveal how far some Remainers would go to overturn the result of the referendum of June 2016.
‘'The cynical plan to manipulate the British voter and stop Brexit has now been laid bare,' added the Conservative MP.
'Leave voters up and down the country will be disgusted that George Soros thinks he can spend his fortune to determine the direction of our great country. Most Remain voters too just want us to get on with it.
'My colleagues in Parliament, whether they were for Leave or Remain, must denounce this brazen attempt to undermine our democracy.
Those MPs who are seeking to dilute or delay Brexit must now admit that their meaningful vote is really just their plan to stop Brexit – as this document sets out unambiguously.'
Richard Tice, of the pro-Brexit group Leave Means Leave, said: 'George Soros, the billionaire who does not live in the UK, will stop at nothing with his elitist friends to stop Brexit, deceitfully masking their plans as a people's vote.
'Shamefully, they want to deny the poorest in our society from benefiting the most from Brexit.'
Best for Britain was launched last April ahead of the snap general election.
It was fronted by Gina Miller, who took the Government to court over Brexit, but she quit earlier this year after becoming uncomfortable with the group's tactics.
It emerged in February that Best for Britain had accepted a £400,000 donation from Mr Soros, the Hungarian-born financier who bet against sterling on Black Wednesday in 1992 – earning him one billion dollars. …..
