Billionaire George Soros was today told to 'butt out' of UK affairs after it was revealed he had pumped £400,000 into a campaign fighting to stop Brexit.
The US investment mogul is one of the biggest donors behind the Best For Britain group launched by Gina Miller.
The revelation sparked fury among Brexiteers who said 'serious questions' must be asked into why a foreign national can bankroll a UK political campaign.
And they said Mr Soros - who is known as the 'man who broke the Bank of England' after he bet against the pound on black Wednesday -is 'no friend of Britain's'.
The scale of the financial backing has fuelled fears the process of leaving the EU could be watered down or even halted altogether.
Henry Smith, Tory MP for Crawley, told Mail Online: 'Soros has never been a friend of Britain’s best interests. As a US citizen he should butt out of telling the UK they should remain under Brussels’ yoke.
'Serious questions need to be asked as to how a foreign national can be funding a British political campaign.'
