A big result, but don't forget the also big 70 % remain figure mentioned for Wandsworth, as possibly representing the other end of the scale. If so, it would be extraordinary if the weather really did win it for the Leavers.

Wow.. been out all evening. Sevenoaks to Sittingbourne and back, twice. 4 hours driving.
Knackered and had promised myself I ould go to bed after a quick peek at the results so far. I'm actually trembling right now... could Leave possibly have done it? The high turnout was what made me think earlier today Leave might just sneak it- if you don't normally vote, it is quite possibly because you feel your vote won't make a difference. So, If you decide to vote this time, presumably the chances are that you are more likely tto vote Leave? Maybe.
£ down six cents in half an hour, utterly unprecedented
0.6 cents
6 cents. If this reflects estimates of around 85 per cent versus 55, the pound has about another ten cents to fall in case of LEAVE. UK losing 10 per cent of its purchasing power in an evening.
Maybe the Remain favourability of the cities has been overstated because of students. Maybe it's just impossible to predict where each area fits on the spectrum.
Leave still nearly 2/1. Suggests a lot of people think Sunderland an aberration.
GE2010....early signs were that Tories were doing better than expected, ended up worse. Some places in the NE they got significant vote shares in places they never normally get anything.

70% is only par for Remain in Wandsworth !
The weather wouldn't have affected Wandsworth. I was there today. Masses of youngsters sticking IN badges on people. It certainly felt very IN, but we will see...
Betfair struggling to believe it - bouncing back to 1.45
I've been feeling for weeks that BF might be wrong, and for days that it was new punters getting involved. Mates of mine who don't even bet on the national were getting involved posting awful odds remain betslips on fb.
Listening to what Nigel Farage said about the last-minute registrations, he sounded as though he was ~conceding victory to MI5. But he may have lost the (complicated) plot...and won the referendum.

Must be using different charts - Google shows 1.44 XE shows 1.48875
Surely it should be "the total number of votes cast 'were' rather than 'was' "
Nope, "number" is a singular noun.
I agree with "the number of votes cast was", but your reasoning is a bit hypercorrect. I'm with Ernest Gowers: say "number were" when "number" denotes a composite plural subject, with the idea of plurality heavy in the air, e.g. "a large number of people are coming"; say "number was" when the idea of the singular subject "number" is heavy in the air, e.g. "the number of people coming is large".
Latest news: a reporter on Radio 4, in some trading room somewhere, has described the traders as like teenagers who've had too much "caffeine".

It's going to be a long night.
6.77% better than Hanretty (50/50 or 0% lead)
Now there's a result, I’ll admit, I thought I’d not see at any point during the counting.
Wow!
Leave look as though they've won it. A bad night for the country, but a good night for my pocket!

All about the massive London REMAIN vote!!
How come no one is offering 6-1 leave anymore - innocent face?
