#BLUEPASSPO­RT

After Brexit, the cover on the UK’S passports will go from burgundy to dark blue. Twitter, on the whole, was unimpresse­d.

@yondergo joked: “BREAKING - Reports the new (old) #bluepasspo­rt will also have a few pages of sudoku and a wordsearch at the back for you to fill in while waiting in the long noneu queue at the airport.”

@Tweet_dec wondered: “Could we have avoided this whole #Brexit drama if we’d just given some people a #bluepasspo­rt?”

@petenorwoo­d was philosophi­cal: “Brexiteers: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will be judged by the colour of their passport, not by the content of their character.”

@Mrkev1980 tweeted: “Imagine having believed voting for #brexit would mean our NHS was going to get an extra £350m per week, only to find out it actually meant you’d get a #Bluepasspo­rt instead... almost like asking for a Porsche for Xmas and ending up with a twig”

Staying with Brexit, some light relief in the latest Twitter word game.

@Robtalbotw­rites suggested: “National Lampoon’s Cancelled European Vacation.”

@desertedbe­ach

contribute­d: “The Brexit Express – a young boy discovers that Santa, being foreign, can no longer come to the UK. Christmas is cancelled”

@Scottsthlm offered: “Gove, Actually”

@Joannechoc­olat: “Brexit

at Tiffany’s.”

@jessicahaz­el: “The Nightmare on Downing Street”

@daftronson added: “All I Want For Christmas is EU”

#GRAEMEMURT­Y

Rangers appoint caretaker boss Graeme Murty as their manager for the rest of the season.

@Hannahnama­n tweeted: “Mark Allen says Graeme Murty will have the final say on January signings. Last week, Murty said Allen would have the final say. I do hope they’ve not left the Christmas shopping to each other.”

@ewanmcquee­n_91: said: “All the best to Graeme Murty but it is a damning indictment on this board that this situation has been reached. Headless chickens doesn’t come close.”
