George Galloway: EU will make Brexit as BEASTLY as possible
Former MP George Galloway said Parliament’s decision to have a “meaningful” Brexit vote would result in the EU giving Britain a bad deal that will eventually be rejected by MPs.
Hosting his talkRADIO show, Mr Galloway said: “Brexit may well, now, for the time being, be dead.
“Parliament has spoken. The Prime Minister must bring back for a meaningful vote, the terms of the agreement if she does strike one with the European Union negotiators.
“And I said earlier that this is a rock-solid reason for the EU to be as beastly as possible and to make the final deal as bad as possible for us.

“All the better to ensure that the House of Commons will reject it when it comes home.”
Theresa May suffered defeat after a group of 11 Tory rebels led by former attorney general Dominic Grieve demanded a “meaningful vote” on the terms of the UK’s withdrawal bill.
Dominic Grieve told MPs it was time to “stand up and be counted” as he pushed to have a “meaningful vote” on Brexit.
MPs voted 309 to 305 in favour of an amendment tabled by a group of Tory MPs against the EU Withdrawal Bill.
