#GIBRALTAR

Former Tory leader Michael Howard compared the defence of Gibraltar’s sovereignty to the defence of the Falkland Islands @DVATW thundered: “Without British tourism Spain does not have an economy. Time for all patriotic Brits to consider a boycott?” @mofitzmaurice pointed out: “Think Michael Howard needs an update on the state of the navy since he was in government.” @d4nf0x asked: “If we do go to war with Spain over #Gibraltar can we get more than a big rock this time? Ibiza, say. Or wherever it is they make Rioja.” @jamesdoleman wondered: “One question for those who don’t want a war over #Gibraltar. Without it, how can we secure the sea route to the Raj?”

#PASSPORTS

There were reports British passports might revert to blue colour after the UK leaves the EU and re-designs them at a cost of £500m. @Colse deamanded: “Wait @Number10gov. Could we not use £500m for #passports and put that towards the £550 we were promised for the #NHS pre #brexit?” @shoreditche2 admitted: “Whilst I was definitely anti #Brexit I am heartened we are to get our navy #passports back.” @russty74 scoffed: “All the people that want blue passports are the people that go to Yarmouth on holiday because they don’t like foreign food.” @adamfleming mentioned: “£490m is the estimated cost of producing #Passports for ten years from 2019, not the price tag for making them blue.”

#6INAROW

Celtic won their sixth consecutive league title with a commanding 5-0 win over Hearts at Tynecastle. @Humzayousaf coo-ed: “Glasgow Celtic Champions ooohh oohh ohh ooh oh! #Easyeasy”. @liamthehuman mused: “Are we allowed to have a title party in George Square?” @kcommons15 applauded: “Outstanding effort from every player. Every1 behind the scenes need a huge amount of credit, but the fans as always”. @celticfc tweeted: “We will leave the #6inarow signage outside the stadium for people to get photos taken with. Enjoy your celebrations, Hail Hail”.
