Anti-Brexit campaigner: 'I will not give up the fight for democracy'
Speaking outside the High Court after her legal challenge was rejected, anti-Brexit campaigner vows not to give up in her fight against the PM's suspension of parliament.
She says: "As our politics becomes ever more chaotic, we feel it is absolutely vital that parliament should be sitting.
"We are therefore please that the judges have given us permission to appeal to the Supreme Court, which we will be doing.
"And they felt that our case has the merit to be handed up.
"We are looking to sit in the Supreme Court... on 17 September for the appeal hearing.
"Today we stand for everyone, we stand for the future generations and we stand for representative democracy.
"To give up now would be a dereliction of our responsibility.
"We need to protect our institutions. It's not right that they should be shut down or bullied, especially at this most momentous time in our history.
