Podcast appearances and mentions of Gina Miller

Content advisory: This episode contains themes that some listeners may find distressing. Kicking off a brand-new series, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Gina Miller, founder of MoneyShe, co-founder of SCM Direct, who famously took the government to court over Brexit, for a powerful conversation about standing up for yourself, supporting others, and the financial struggles faced by menopausal women. Gina shares what fuels her determination, the values instilled in her from childhood, and her experiences challenging injustice – whether in politics, finance, or education. She speaks candidly about the backlash she has faced, the importance of resilience, and why she refuses to stay silent in the face of inequality. Together, Louise and Gina explore why women are often judged more harshly than men, how curiosity and questioning the status quo are essential for progress, and why empowering women is crucial for a fairer society. This inspiring discussion highlights the need for systemic change and the importance of speaking out—even when it's difficult.

Back in 2016, under a Conservative-led government, Britain shocked the world by voting narrowly to leave the European Union. Fast-forward to today, and the political sands have shifted dramatically. In July, for the first time in 14 years, British voters elected a Labour government. Two weeks later, the new British prime minister, Keir Starmer, signaled his desire for the country to once again grow closer to Europe. And polls now show that if given the choice again, more people would vote to rejoin the EU than stay out. FP deputy editor Sasha Polakow-Suransky is joined by businesswoman, activist, and campaigner Gina Miller and former British Chancellor and Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng.

Libraries across the United States are celebrating National Library Week April 7 - 13. Gina Miller is the children and young adult programming librarian at the Madison Library District and told Brandon Isle about the celebration and the resources and programs available at the library.

In this captivating conversation, businesswoman and activist Gina Miller takes center stage as she discusses her journey and the important work she is doing. Known for her groundbreaking case against the British government following the Brexit referendum, Gina has been a vocal advocate for transparency and fairness in various industries. She founded the True and Fair Campaign in 2012, aiming to combat financial misconduct in investment and pension sectors. Recently, she has started a political party with the same name, seeking to address the concerns of the public and bring about positive change. Throughout the conversation, Gina's passion for social justice and her determination to challenge corruption shine through. Her experiences, including her time at boarding school and her upbringing in a Commonwealth country, have shaped her perspective and fueled her drive to make a difference. Join us as we delve into Gina's motivations, her thoughts on the current state of society, and her vision for a better future. Six key points 1. The conversation revolves around the need for change in various sectors, particularly the NHS, but there is a concern that the government's idea of change is simply budget cuts. 2. The erosion of community and the dependence on financial institutions is seen as a counter-revolution against the welfare state and capitalism's need for people to rely on them. 3. There is a call for a more holistic approach to policymaking, where different areas such as the NHS, education, and the economy work together. 4. The importance of hard work and active involvement in making things right is emphasized, rather than relying on others to fix problems. 5. The leaders of the country are seen as responsible for the emotional and soulful state of the nation, and their behavior sets a trend that affects society. 6. The conversation touches on the idea of a wellness economy, focusing on health, happiness, and community cohesion as essential components for a sustainable future. https://www.trueandfairparty.uk/

Gina Miller was born in Guyana to a political family, but was sent to England for her education. Fleeing dictatorship, she couldn't receive financial support from her family, and so began finding work in hotels and handing out flyers. With an entrepreneurial spirit, Gina set up her first company in 1987 – a property photographic company. Since then, her CV boasts a myriad of achievements, degrees, the Vanity Fair Challenger Award and financial services. But she is most well known as the woman who set up the first legal challenge to the government's attempts to trigger article 50 in 2016. Since then, my guest has worked on many anti-Brexit campaigns and in 2021 she launched The True and Fair Party.

Britney Spears has been in the news again after spilling personal stories in a memoir. Are women being pressured to overshare in order to sell books? And are men also expected to publicise their personal lives? Nina Stibbe, whose newest memoir is Went to London, Took the Dog, and Caroline Sanderson, Associate Editor of The Bookseller, joined Emma Barnett to discuss. Mary Turner Thomson found writing a memoir cathartic after discovering that her husband, William Allen Jordan, was not a spy as she had been told. He was actually a bigamist and a conman. Her story is now a documentary series, The Other Mrs Jordan: Catching the Ultimate Conman, which is available on ITVX. She and her daughter Eilidh told Emma about the day they discovered William's real identity. A report from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Heriot Watt university says the number of children in the UK living in destitution has nearly trebled since 2017. Why are families struggling, and what could be done to help? Abby Jitendra, Principal Policy Adviser at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, and Sophia Worringer, Deputy Policy Director at the Centre for Social Justice, joined Emma. We also heard from Kimberley in Fife who contributed to the report. Dame Alison Rose, the former chief executive of NatWest, has been found to have breached data protection laws after she publicly discussed the closure of Nigel Farage's account with NatWest subsidiary bank Coutts. In the UK, banks closed more than 343,000 accounts in the last financial year. Gina Miller, the woman who spearheaded the anti-Brexit campaign before the 2016 referendum, was 'de-banked' and has called for an investigation into the practice.

Imagine your daughter being so scared for your safety that she fainted when you took too long popping out for a pint of milk? This is what happened to Gina Miller, the woman who took the government to court in the midst of the Brexit furore. She wasn't trying to stop Brexit. She was fighting for our democracy. But she was  so abused and threatened for standing up to the system that she feared for her – and her children's – safety. In this episode of Beautiful Misfits I talk to Gina about her extraordinary story. Her life has been one of many challenges – from a serious sexual assault when she was a teenager to fighting for her daughter who was born with significant extra needs – and yet she is still hopeful. And Gina believes we all have a choice: to give in to all the negatives, or believe in our collective power to create a better future. So now she's launched a political party to campaign for it. She's inspirational. I hope you enjoy.  Follow Mary Portas on: Instagram: @maryportasofficial Facebook: Mary Portas And to get in touch with team Portas, email us at: beautifulmisfits@portasagency.com and you can subscribe to the Portas POV Newsletter for musings, provocation insights and inspiration.

Gina Miller, described as an “establishment wrecking ball,” speaks to Alex Andreou about battling Brexit and her desire to “reboot” the system. After rising to prominence taking on the Government's authority to trigger Article 50 without a vote in Parliament, her fight has been taken to the stage in the play Bloody Difficult Women. She's gone on to launch the True & Fair political party, and is aiming to oust Chris Grayling from his Parliamentary seat.  “Because everyone was talking about sovereignty, I thought people would be supportive of my case.”  “If someone is abusing me and not what I'm saying – I've probably won.”  “The whole system of government is not fit for purpose. And the main parties will not go as far as I think is needed to reboot it.”  Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Alex Andreou. Lead Producer: Jacob Jarvis.

Dan Hunt is no stranger to the professional sports industry. His father, Lamar Hunt, was key to the establishment of professional sports in the U.S. He founded professional leagues and owned many teams – notably the Kansas City Chiefs (NFL) and FC Dallas (MLS). Dan inherited his father's passion, working with him to make Toyota Stadium a reality and Frisco, TX a premier destination for both professional and youth soccer. In 2018, the National Soccer Hall of Fame opened in connection with Toyota Stadium, honoring the history of soccer but unmistakably focused on the future. If Hunt has his way, part of that future will include hosting 2026 World Cup tournament games in that stadium here in DFW. He's part of a bid committee made up of elected officials, business leaders, and sports franchise executives lobbying FIFA for North Texas to host as many as six matches of the 2026 World Cup – including the final. Seventeen other cities are also contending for the ten or eleven North American locations to be chosen. Cementing hope that DFW might be a top contender, tournament delegates recently toured the city of Fort Worth, AT&T Stadium, Fair Park, and the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Frisco. Why would this be so significant? The World Cup is the world's most celebrated tournament; the final match would put North Texas on the world's stage and mean hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Be a part of this conversation with Hunt, discussing the bid, why he believes North Texas is the best location, and what all to expect should DFW be selected. Moderated by Gina Miller. Miller is an award-winning journalist who is currently the Vice President of Media and Communications for FC Dallas, North Texas SC, the National Soccer Hall of Fame and Toyota Stadium. She oversees the organizations' broadcast, social and digital media operations as well as public relations efforts. The Dallas native has served as a sportscaster in Dallas, Los Angeles, Knoxville and Guam. Gina has been nominated for multiple Lone Star Emmy awards and won a prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award for a feature story she did on the Southlake Carroll football team. She also worked three seasons for the Dallas Cowboys and started her sports media career as an intern for the Houston Rockets where she won an NBA championship ring. . .
