Nobody wants to go back to Communism, except our own Jeremy Corbyn.

You are right. The EU moves in another direction. Under the guidance of women, no less.
Von der Leyen was brought up in Brussels as the daughter of Heidi and Ernst Albrecht, the latter of whom was a senior German politician who worked in the commission in the 1950s.
She has in the past spoken of her aim of a “United States of*Europe*– along the lines of federal states like Switzerland, Germany or the US”, and has backed a future European army or “
army of Europeans”.
On Brexit, she has fully supported the commission’s position on the Northern Irish backstop, and
criticised the “hollow promises” of those who campaigned for the UK to leave the EU.
Boris may find her a bit too much to chew.
