George Galloway PERFECTLY tears apart von der Leyen and reveals EU ‘scrambling’ on Brexit – Express
George Galloway said the UK now has the advantage in its trade talks with the EU, which he described as scrambling to keep up with us. In a scathing assessment of the European Union and its chief Ursula von der Leyen, Mr Galloway said that they need us more than we need them. He pointed out the European economies were on the edge of recession and could not withstand a disruption in trade with the UK.
This comes after Boris Johnson has signed the Brexit withdrawal agreement in Downing Street.
That paves the way for ratification by the European Parliament next week to ensure a smooth UK departure from the EU under the terms of the withdrawal agreement.
The Prime Minister hailed a "fantastic moment" for the country after he put his name to the historic agreement.
Earlier on Friday, the presidents of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, and the European Council Charles Michel,signed the document in Brussels, before it was transported to London by train.

He attacked European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, and the European Council Charles Michel as those two nameless individuals" before boasting that "they will only be ruling us until the end of the month.
Mr Galloway continued: They were amongst the people telling us there would never be a Brexit deal. Now they are a scrambling to get a deal done!
