Rejected petition Offer UK Citizens a choice of passports - 'Brexit Blue' or 'EU Rights Red'

Andrew Rosindell MP sees the EU passport as 'humiliation'(1) but 75% of UK citizens value the Freedom of Movement rights that an EU passport provides(2).

The UK must take up with priority the offer of retained EU rights(3) for those citizens that select the 'red' option on their application form.
