Now Boris Johnson’s got Brexit done, it’s time to enjoy our new blue passports. And it turns out not only will they be blue, they will also be really, really technologically advanced.

Woohoo!

We know this because the Home Office tweeted about them, and home secretary Priti Patel held one up for our delight.

Our new blue passports will be the most technologically advanced and environmentally friendly British passports ever.

A passport is only worth the rights it confers. It means nothing inside ones own country. This passport is weaker than the one it replaces, symbolising the removal of our rights to move and operate freely across our own continent. It therefore represents abject political failure. https://t.co/eLUC6PXcEh
