If you thought “Brexit means Brexit” was the pinnacle of empty phraseology, you were wrong. Theresa May has told reporters in Bahrain she wants a “red, white and blue” Brexit.
Here’s that clip of ridiculousness. We’ve gone from “Brexit means Brexit” to:

Don’t worry, it’s not just you. No-one else knows what she’s talking about either, though Twitter users are taking their best guess.

Just heard the "red, white and blue Brexit line" and actually laughed out loud. Who says the Government has no plan?

Veteran reporter Paul Mason was a bit confused about which “red, white and blue” May meant.
Mrs May with your ?? red ?? white and ?? blue Brexit you are not really helping us understand WTF you actually want!

Others were thinking of their own dramatic Brexit terms.
No I'm holding out for a "Land of Hope and Glory" Brexit #RedWhiteAndBlueBrexit

How stupid is Theresa May that she called for a "Red, white and blue Brexit" and not a "Full English Brexit"?

How about choosing what kind of Brexit you are?
What kind of Brexit do YOU want?

We haven’t even triggered Article 50 yet and the ridiculousness is mounting. Can’t wait for the next catchphrase!
