    Salmond quoting spread betting figures!

    Alex Salmond has often quoted PB/Mike, once famously in the House of Commons
    It looks like he's a punter
    Tyson, he is, I think he has written horse racing columns in the past
    They have a much better calibre of politician in Scotland- from Salmond and Sturgeon, to Ruth and Malcolm, to Darling and Cooke and Brown

    I seriously hope George Osborne and/or Sir Humphrey has got a Plan B for tomorrow. Be a huge dereliction of duty if there wasn't one.

    What do you suggest they do? I'm not trolling, I genuinely don't know how the government can possibly protect the UK economy from this, other than the BoE providing unlimited liquidity to banks.

    As the saying goes Osborne should not be starting here.

    Osborne should have been more circumspect and not trashed our prospects if we vote Leave, he has about as much credibility now as Gerald Ratner.

    Not good enough. Leave now own this. They have to take control. Many millions of households depend on it.

    If - as looks likely - it is a leave vote, we're in for some fairly unprecedented times.

    I'm particularly interested in the effect it has on the EU itself. Will anyone else try to follow?

    This is easily the most momentous change (if we leave) that we've voted for since at least 1979. Maybe even 1945.

    Possible Scottish independence. Issues over Gibraltar. Constitutional shifts, possibly on a seismic scale. We're into really interesting territory. Volatile and possibly painful along the way but interesting, I guess...

    You haven't answered my question, but in any case of course it's not Osborne who has trashed our prospects. This stuff is for real. The idea that we could leave the EU with no plan from the Leave side, without massive economic disruption, was always cloud-cuckoo land - as it looks as though we shall find out, starting tomorrow. Combined with the economic chaos is going to be political chaos. Fasten your seat belts.

    Portsmouth is looking like 57% Leave, Southampton 60% Leave. Both were expected to be more level.

    BBC

    Southampton, Sheffield, Leicester, and Nottingham are my bellwethers.

    They all go Leave, Leave have a clear win.
    I have heard a rumour (second hand, so no idea of its accuracy) that Sheffield may be towards 70% leave. Sounds very high to me.
    You are just trolling TSE. :-)
    Someone else has texted me that South Yorkshire might have gone Leave.

    Did not see that coming.
    Do you know if your side are doing the responsible thing, now, and preparing a statement for Cameron to deliver in the morning to reassure the markets and EU on this?

    Not a jibe. Genuinely hoping we pull together a quick stabilisation plan now.
    Usually the markets are difficult to control in these situations - I'd expect sterling down to between 1 and 1.10 to the euro at best. It could be much worse. I aso think it will probably be sustained with a knock on effect to inflation and unemployment.
    Don't think so. That assumes everyone acts stupidly and it's a clusterfuck.

    Reality just changed. So expect people to start acting differently.

    even, as I mentioned if there are vast and definitive divergences between London and the rest of the country, a possible shift to some sort of special status for London. Everything is up in the air, and the UK could be finished.

    As the saying goes Osborne should not be starting here.

    Osborne should have been more circumspect and not trashed our prospects if we vote Leave, he has about as much credibility now as Gerald Ratner.

    You haven't answered my question, but in any case of course it's not Osborne who has trashed our prospects. This stuff is for real. The idea that we could leave the EU with no plan from the Leave side, without massive economic disruption, was always cloud-cuckoo land - as it looks as though we shall find out, starting tomorrow. Combined with the economic chaos is going to be political chaos. Fasten your seat belts.
    And given LEAVE majored on Immigration difficult to see how anyone can sell a solution that involves the four freedoms...

    Everyone here is calling it for LEAVE but Betfair has not really budged in the last hour.

    REMAIN 1.52
    LEAVE 2.9

    Who's right? The PB Brains trust or Betfair?

    There is a wall of unmatched bets on Betfair that need to be worked through before the price will fall. If you think leave will win then it is there for the taking....

    The Polish Ambassador quietly drops the phrase " acquired rights " into the conversation. So many voters are in for a shock.

    Richard, you hit the nail on the head! Absolutely unbelievable to try and blame the Chancellor for stating his economic predictions on the back of a leave vote if they are proved correct.

    Nottingham:

    A total of 120,792 people cast a vote here in Nottingham.

    The size of the electorate was 195,394, meaning there was a 61.82 per cent turnout.

    Not good for Remain.

    East Ayrshire:

    Remain wins but only with 50.7%

    Blimey.
    That was a mistake, sorry. Got it from a usually reliable source. Actually 58.6%.

    To be fair we've still had less than a million votes counted

    Actual results compared to (flawed) poll samples in the thousands....

    Has Remain had a single good result? I mean genuinely above expectations.

    Isles of Scilly?
    Early indications for London is that level of remain vote is good but turnout not so much
    Richmond on Thames over 80% turnout reported

    Golly, there was someone on here earlier today swearing blind they'd be Leave.
    Probably never been to Stornoway or Benbecula. I haven't!

    Labour MPs will wake up to the news that they are elected by knuckle-dragging racist Little Englanders....

    The "Little Englander" tag is this campaigns Ed Stone....tarring a huge percentage of the population as closest racists after years of being called that by Labour looks like it has got a certain demographic fired up to vote Leave.

    Radio 4 are saying things like Leave is doing better than if the two sides were performing at parity. Talk about circumlocution!

    Chris Bryant says 'tosspot' Miliband to blame for state Labour is in

    Labour figures are also attacking each other. Talking to guests at the Stronger In referendum party, Chris Bryant, the shadow leader of the Commons, denounced Ed Miliband when he saw the former party leader being interviewed on TV. He said:

    I might go and punch him because he’s a tosspot and he left the party in the state it’s in.

    It is times like this that I am glad of my government salary.

    I may even get a payrise with Gove spending an extra £100 million per week on the NHS.
