Today is the first day when the NHS will get another £350m. Tomorrow too and the day after...
£100m per week isn't £350m per day...
The battle bus clearly stated the £350m figure.
We're still in the EU. Please try and remember that. The UK does not abrogate treaties unilaterally, and all our current obligations, including financial ones, still apply. Nothing has changed.
So, we will invoke Article 50 in 20xx. Fill in the xx's.
The Brexiteers don't have a clue, not a single clue, about what they are going to do now. They seem to expect Cameron and the europhiles to sort it out for them.
Indeed. Hence why we see the more middle-of-the-road Brexiters like Charles hang their hats on the vain hope of EFTA/EEA.
I wonder how Boris is feeling this morning? Happy that we've voted 'his' way and he's a step nearer No.10, and/or disappointed that we're actually going to leave? His heart wasn't exactly in it.
Oh, and as for who takes over: anyone but Boris.
At the risk of pointing out the blindingly obvious, nearly half the electorate thought that, on balance, they rather liked the idea of staying in the EU. It would be stupid to just say "Y'all lost, suck it up". We have to take account of the strength of feeling there. Especially so as a good deal of that vote is concentrated in London, our most important asset.
That limits what can be accomplished. I have no clue about EFTA/EEA. But I do think that some kind of free movement is going to be inevitable. There will be additional restrictions on access to social housing, welfare, health care and so on. IIRC at present c. 58% of EU migrants have a job on entry, so that would likely change.
We have got to get a grip on planning reform. If I were PrimeMinister.Next I'd be introducing some element of a command economy for housing.
We're not building enough (duh!) and those we are building are not necessarily in the right places (duh!). We also need to figure out how to encourage empty nesters to move out of their 4/5 bedders, which will also require housebuilding and perhaps even financial incentives.
In summary, we have to show sensitivity to the 48%. Otherwise it really is pointless.
Leavers seeking the country to unite after the decision might have thought a bit more about the aftermath while conducting their campaign.
Include me out. Pursue your mad agenda obtained by pandering to xenophobia by yourselves. I see no reason why I should assist in such a folly.
Because I believe you are a democrat and a patriot.
Everyone has a duty to serve the public will - we should all do our best to seek the best outcome for the country within the framework of what the people have decided
This morning I'm nervous, but excited.
I respect the referendum decision.
I see no reason at all why I should help implement a decision that I believe to be mad and to have been engineered through disgraceful tactics. Those that were hellbent on this crazy course of action can get on with it, but I shall lean against a wall watching their exertions.
Graveyards are full of indispensible people
I'm sure the UK will still function with or without you
Hear Hear , the sooner the bad losers take a hike the better, pack their loot and take a hike

Does this apply to the bad losers of the Scottish independence referendum?
What a tragic way to wreck your career. He could have stood there in Downing Street, owning a Leave victory, atop the party, the Government, the nation.

I look forward to watching the Farewell Symphony of posters as they one by one drop off the Brexit bandwagon when confronted with the reality of what it means.
You're sounding like a baby throwing toys.
Leave is the will of the people. There is not going to be another vote.
Given that constraint it behooves us all to try to work for the best outcome for all our people. Not to sit on the sidelines hoping all goes tits up.
The best outcome was to Remain. What did you do to help that to happen?
I hosted events for Business for Britain and VoteLeave so you are asking the wrong person!
So how can the Scots avoid calling a referendum (if indeed they don't want one?) Hold it tomorrow and they'd win, presumably.
I doubt they would. The fundamentals for Scotland haven't changed.
Tough for SNP if they don't call one
they've got to call one now, while the whole idea of project fear is discredited, and the fear of changing the status quo has been rejected. They won't lose a referendum on economics.
They haven't got to call one. Scotland voted to stay in Britain, and they also deprived the SNP of its majority in Holyrood last month. Why should part of Britain get to decide whether or not it stays in the EU? Should Cambridge decide too? Not all SNP voters want independence. There is no genuine mandate for another independence referendum. The SNP is so full of it that I would prefer a Lab-LibDem-Con coalition in Holyrood.
A coalition of LOSERS and Comic Singers, that will do us a lot of good.

Absolutely. Kudos to the PM. He has brought much honour on himself and his office this morning, reflecting the will and needs of the British people admirably.

I know which is why I find the sanctimony a bit de trop. The Leave victory is not merely the result of the vote; it's the fruit of a campaign which has been based on lies and demagoguery. Treating this as just a means to an end is the worst place to start looking for the 'best outcome for all our people'.
What a tragic way to wreck your career. He could have stood there in Downing Street, owning a Leave victory, atop the party, the Government, the nation.
One thing to note: he flagged that there wasn't going to be a reshuffle before Monday. Might he work on the basis that no reshuffle is necessary until his successor is found?
It would conveniently leave Boris Johnson lacking any kind of ministerial experience...
Boris in the end proved himself in the campaign, so it would make sense that he becomes next prime minister, Gove as Chancellor perhaps, and I can certainly see a negotiated deal involving some sort of EFTA type option, to be approved in a general election soon after.
Inevitable that Cameron resigned, a good speech from him, his voice broke a little towards the end.

Am told a letter signed by at least 55 Labour MPs calling for Jeremy Corbyn to go will be delivered to the leader's office next week.
Interesting times.
Key points (all of which I flagged sometime ago!)
* We held a fair, legal and decisive referendum in Scotland
* Resignation in the autumn
* No Article 50 invocation
When you look at the runners and riders to replace him, well... *shudders*
Plot is definitely afoot against Jeremy Corbyn. Updates later.

Don't panic, sterling recovering already. It'll be fine.
On top of that it turns out the panicky sky finance chap was out on borrowing costs rocketing. They've fallen.
Let's hope God is good. Inshallah.
