Theresa May’s call for a “red, white and blue” Brexit has sparked ridicule on social media.
The Prime Minister debuted the new slogan for Britain’s exit from the European Union as she spoke during a two-day visit to Bahrain.
Mrs May said that getting a good deal which left Britain operating within a single European market was the key thing, rather than being hung up on labels.
She said: "These terms that have been identified: hard Brexit, soft Brexit, black Brexit, white Brexit, grey Brexit.
“Actually, I think what we should be looking for is a red, white and blue Brexit. That is the right deal for the United Kingdom.
"What is going to be the relationship for the UK with the European Union once we have left the European Union?
“That's what we are about and that's what we will be working on.”
But her comments sparked a flurry of tweets in response with many people mocking the PM and pointing out that the colours she cited featured in flags from across the world.
Laura Kerr tweeted: “So, we aren't having the Norway,Switzerland or Canada model but "red,white&blue Brexit" Remind me, what colour are ALL their flags??”
Paul Patrick wrote: “I can't understand a word Theresa May is saying. 'Red,White & Blue Brexit'?!”
Sam Cookney posted on Twitter: “It's as if someone's just realised "Brexit means Brexit" was FAR too specific and asked Theresa just to vague it up a bit. #redwhiteblue.”
Jackie Pearcey said: “Unclear as to the difference between a red, white & blue brexit and a yellow, green and pink brexit.”
Exasperated journalists also took to twitter to make jokes about the PM’s new Brexit slogan.
Mrs May’s remark appeared to be a veiled retort at reports she had given ministers the green light to draw up secret plans for a “grey Brexit” that would steer Britain away from the black-and-white demands of Leave and Remain hard-liners.
The Sunday Times reported that Brexit Secretary David Davis and the Chancellor Phillip Hammond had formed a “clique” with Downing Street to drive Britain away from a hard exit from the European Union.
