Best for Britain is the slogan claimed by both Brexiteers and Remainers.

This week Boris Johnson said he was leading a series of ministers claiming that it is best for Britain to leave the EU despite having a bitterly divided party.

Labour’s position is that it thinks it is best for Britain to be clear to lay down minimum conditions and await the EU negotiation results.

The people narrowly decided by 52 per cent to 48 per cent that leaving the European Union was best for Britain.

But at the end of the day, it will be MPs, democratically elected by the British people, who will decide if Theresa May’s final Brexit deal is really best for Britain.

But I’m worried about the outside forces who are seeking to influence that final decision.

Hungarian/American multi-billionaire financier George Soros plans to give up to half a billion to overturn the referendum result decided by the British people.

He’s handed it to a campaign group called Best For Britain.

Soros has got an interesting record on doing what’s best for Britain.

He took on the Bank of England by betting against the pound in 1992. Britain was then part of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, a device to align all currencies ahead of the introduction of the euro.

This meant us following the German mark.

But because the Tories had made our economy weaker than Germany’s, their attempt to follow the ERM made matters worse, leading to low interest rates and high inflation.

The Tories started putting up interest rates to try to boost the pound’s value but Soros began shorting the pound – effectively selling heavily on the currency.

The Tories were then forced to push up our interest rates from 10 to 12 per cent in a day and up to 15 per cent the following morning.

When that failed to stop the crisis, they pulled out of the ERM on Black Wednesday, costing the taxpayer over £3billion and earning Soros $1billion.

Now he wants to interfere again in Britain’s business by making us stay in the EU.

He’s being helped by Best For Britain’s Chairman Lord Malloch-Brown, a former Deputy Secretary General at the United Nations who was an unelected member of the last Labour government.

They both represent the elite view now bidding to overturn the democratic will of the British people. Their aim isn’t a hard or soft Brexit. It is to ignore the referendum completely and stay in.

For far too long our elections have been influenced by billionaires with their own agendas.

Australian/American Rupert Murdoch campaigned, through his newspaper, for the UK to leave the European Union.

And he also sought to be the kingmaker in countless General Elections by switching his support for the party that was best for him, not Britain.

Big money, technology and the media allow these multi-billionaires to enforce their view on the democratic decision of the British people.

They should go back to counting their money and let our democratically elected politicians make the final call.

Yes, we are leaving the EU. But the British people will decide what’s best for Britain.

Not foreign billionaires who clearly don’t have our country’s best interests at heart.
