    Interesting that a similar event occurred not that long ago , an MI6 defector has since confirmed this news story as being correct although denied by UK government.

    IANAL, but I expect that "they" can't revoke yours (who are "they" anyway?). It may have "European Union" at the top of it but it's issued by and remains the property of UK HMG.

    However, your destination country can make you pre-purchase a visa and then stand in a queue at the border to check your desirability before they let you in

    And the great thing is, you blend in with it perfectly.

    I didn't think that there was such a thing, where do I get one?

    Surely you have a passport which is issued by your country of origin or residence or wherever you applied for it and if that country is a member of the EU (and in this instance is part of the Schengen Agreement) then you are entitled to free movement throughout that region. However if you have a GB passport, which is still in the EU but not part of the Schengen Agreement, then once this farce has completed then it will no longer entitle the holder to that free movement and will in fact be considered as a document similar to the ones that, for example, American citizens use. Or some such stuff...

    Tory Leavers are dusting down their plans for a no-deal Brexit, and Michel Barnier ought to be careful

    I find it amusing that this journalist thinks that May needs to threaten the EU to get the negotiations going.

    She isn't negotiating with the EU. She could have a Canada deal tomorrow if she wanted it.

    As long as it's decent quality fudge - I find that cheap stuff quite unpalatable
