The open, inclusive, civic, internationalist Scottish independence movement that I’m so proud to be part of could not be further removed from this insular, inward looking, blue passport-obsessed nonsense. Never has ‘stop the world, Scotland wants to get on’ felt more relevant. https://t.co/GuVdYqdEiM

Brexit is turning us into a laughing stock. We’re swapping the right to live and work in 27 countries for new passports that will cost the taxpayer £500m. But don’t worry, when we’re all stood in the airport for 4 hours we can stand in the queue and look at just how blue they are https://t.co/FjeuDFk7TF

I've just realised that on the very day Blue Passports become a 'thing' again, there's going to be a fifty-something male drive to the passport office in a Union Jack suit so he can stand outside waving flags and be the first to get his blue 'trophy', while local news films it.

A country that would spend £500m to change the colour of a passport while children sleep on the streets is a country whose priorities are wholly out of whack. https://t.co/h8omuRjNr5

We could have done this at any time. We don’t care what colour it is. You’ve flushed our country down the toilet. https://t.co/8Jcvswmx3L
