Labour’s shadow attorney general, Shami Chakrabarti, said today the political aspect of the case had been “hyped in parts of the media”. She said: “This is about process. It is not about outcomes.”

Case to last four days. Verdict expected in January.

Ms Miller launched the Brexit legal case along with London-based Spanish hairdresser Deir Dos Santos and the People's Challenge group, set up by Grahame Pigney and backed by a crowd-funding campaign.

They argued the government could not invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty - starting the formal process of the UK leaving the EU - without seeking approval from Parliament.

Three London law firms - Mishcon de Reya, Edwin Coe and Bindmans - agreed to take up the case.
Ms Miller argued that only Parliament could make a decision leading to the loss of her "rights" under EU law.

Loves the attention and always ready to pose for the cameras.
Hopefully someone will bring up the rights of the majority who voted.
