U-turn over anti-terror law used on migrants

Soros reveals urgent mission to secure second EU referendum Daniel Boff ey Brussels Richard Partington

A campaign to secure a second Brexit referendum within a year and save the UK from “immense damage” is to be launched in days, the philanthropist and financier George Soros has announced.

The billionaire founder of the Open Society Foundation (OSF) said the prospect of the UK’s prolonged divorce from Brussels could help persuade the British public by a “convincing

margin” that EU membership was in their interests.

In a speech yesterday ahead of the launch of the Best for Britain campaign – said to have already attracted millions of pounds in donations – Soros suggested to an audience in Paris that changing the minds of Britons would be in keeping with “revolu-tionary times”.

Best for Britain had already helped to persuade parliamentarians to extract from Theresa May a meaningful vote on the fi nal withdrawal deal, he said, and it was time to engage with voters,

and Brussels, to pave the way for the UK to stay in the bloc. It is expected to publish its campaign manifesto on 8 June.

Earlier this year, Soros moved to defy his critics over his £400,000 donation to Best for Britain by pledging an additional £100,000 to support eff orts to fi ght Brexit. OSF’s total funding for pro-Europe cam-paigns and organisations totals more than £800,000.

Soros, 87, said: “Brexit is an immensely damaging process, harmful to both sides ... divorce will be

later. That’s the goal of an initiative called the Best for Britain, which I support. Best for Britain fought for, and helped to win, a meaningful parliamentary vote which includes the option of not leaving at all.

“This would be good for Britain but would also render Europe a great service by rescinding Brexit and not creating a hard-to-fill hole in the European budget. But the British public must express its support by a convincing margin in order to be taken seriously by Europe. That’s what Best for Britain is aiming for by engaging the electorate.
