A pro-Brexit group said they have found themselves agreeing with Gina Miller over Boris Johnson's Brexit deal.
Fishing for Leave, a spin-off of the Leave Means Leave campaign, tweeted that they had "never thought we'd agree with Gina Miller".
They said that they were in agreement Johnson's deal was "basically the May deal" - and was just as "dire" in what it proposed.
The anti-Brexit campaigner had been discussing the deal with a "brilliant lawyer" who pointed out that it was "the May deal with about six changes" to the political declaration.

She said that "if the Benn act is akin to the surrender act" then Boris Johnson's deal is a "self-imposed knee capping".

It follows Brexiteer Nigel Farage complaining that the Brexit extension could be taken away - a measure he saw as more favourable than leaving on Johnson's deal.
