16:25 Britain, just go. Martin Schulz, the president of the European parliament, has said that he wants Britain out as soon as possible, rather than wait for Mr. Cameron’s replacement as Prime Minister to be appointed at the Conservative party conference in October.



Mr. Cameron said that he wished to wait for his successor to trigger Article 50, and carry the UK through the process. However, Mr. Schulz said today: “Uncertainty is the opposite of what we need,” and that “a whole continent [cannot be] taken hostage because of an internal fight in the Tory party”.



“I doubt it is only in the hands of the government of the United Kingdom,” he said. “We have to take note of this unilateral declaration that they want to wait until October, but that must not be the last word.”



Mr. Schulz’s comments follow an earlier joint statement of Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission, and Mark Rutte, the President of the Council of Ministers, who stated that the EU expected Britain to act “as soon as possible, however painful the process may be” and that there would be “no renegotiation”.

16:14 The trouble with early newspaper deadlines. The National Post in Canada made an early call and its front page says it all.

16:02 LISTEN – Nigel Farage and UKIP together helped deliver the stunning Brexit victory. You can listen here as Mr. Farage joins Breitbart radio to discuss the triumph and what it means for the future of the United Kingdom now it stands outside the European Union.

14:46 European Union member states have reacted swiftly to the Brexit victory. Here is a selection of leaders stating their universal dismay at the outcome

Jean-Claude Juncker



European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker went into crisis talks with European parliament president Martin Schulz, president of the European Council Donald Tusk and Dutch PM Mark Rutte on Friday morning.

They then released a statement saying they regretted but respected the British decision.

They called for the UK “to give effect to this decision of the British people as soon as possible, however painful that process may be. Any delay would unnecessarily prolong uncertainty”.

They said: “We stand ready to launch negotiations swiftly with the United Kingdom regarding the terms and conditions of its withdrawal from the European Union.”



German Chancellor Angela Merkel

Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, has appealed for calm and urged states not to draw “quick and simple” conclusions.

“We take note of the British people’s decision with regret. There is no doubt that this is a blow to Europe and to the European unification process,” she said.

But Ms. Merkel said that the “consequences…would depend on whether we – the other 27 member states of the EU – prove to be willing and able to not draw quick and simple conclusions from the referendum in Great Britain, which would only further divide Europe”.

Member states should “calmly and prudently analyse and evaluate the situation, before making the right decisions together,” said Ms. Merkel.

Ms. Merkel will host talks with French President Francois Hollande, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and European Council president Donald Tusk in Berlin on Monday.



French President Francois Hollande



French President Francois Hollande said he profoundly regrets the British vote to leave the European Union, but that the union must make changes in order to move forward. In a brief televised statement, Hollande said the vote will put Europe to the test, and he called for bolstering security and industrial policies.

He also called for reinforcement of the zone of countries that use the euro.

He said, “To move forward, Europe cannot act as before.”

14:34 The Brexit vote saw plenty of losers on the UK domestic political landscape, but it also claimed the reputation of George Soros. This view from Breitbart News in the U.S. outlines why.

12:34 A motion of no confidence has been tabled against the Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn following his failure to corral the Labour vote for the remain camp.

Margaret Hodge and Ann Coffey confirmed the move in a letter to the chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party, the BBC has reported.

The motion calls merely for a discussion of the matter at the next Parliamentary Labour Party meeting, due to be held on Monday. It has no constitutional force, and it is therefore up to the chairman, John Cryer, whether he accepts it or not.

Mr Corbyn has only been in place since 12 September 2015, winning the leadership of the party in a landslide victory following the resignation of Ed Miliband thanks to Labour’s poor result in the 2015 general election.

Despite his widespread support among the party’s grassroots, however, Mr Corbyn is facing a backlash from his party today after a leaked Labour script claimed that Jeremy Corbyn is “uniquely placed as a critical Remainer” to help unify Britain in the wake of the referendum, according to The Telegraph.

12:06 Scottish First Minister and leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), Nicola Sturgeon, has said that she will push for a second vote for Scottish independence.



Ms. Sturgeon spoke this morning following the referendum result, in which Scotland voted 62% in favour of remaining as part of the EU.



The First Minister stated that “Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain in EU… to protect place in single market and protect jobs and investment that depend on it”.



Recognising that the result was sign of divergence between Scotland and the rest of the UK, she said that Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out of EU against her will, regarding that as democratically unacceptable



Ms. Sturgeon stated that the Scottish cabinet will meet tomorrow to discuss next steps, but that trade and business should continue as normal.



“I intend to take all possible steps to give effect to how people in Scotland voted – to secure our place in EU and single market.”

12:00 The Brexit vote has now triggered a counter demand for another referendum.

The petition reads in part:

`We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum.’

It has already garnered over 100,000 signatures

11:53 Leave campaigners Boris Johnson and Gisela Stuart have spoken to the media this morning on the Brexit vote outcome. Here is a synopsis of what they said:

Gisela Stuart

“This is the most extraordinary opportunity of democracy. The process of implementing the wishes of people will be seen as freeing the UK but is also in the interests of Europe.



“We will continue to be an outward-looking country, a good neighbour, and internationalist but we have taken back control of our democratic institutions.”



Boris Johnson

“In voting to leave the European Union it is vital to stress that there is now no need for haste, and nothing will change in the short term except that work will have to begin to affect the will of the people to extricate this country from the supranational system.



“As the Prime Minister has rightly said there is no need to invoke Article 50. And to those who may be anxious either at home or abroad this does not mean that the UK will be in any way any less united, nor indeed mean that it will be any less European. We cannot turn our backs on Europe. We are part of Europe. Our children and grandchildren will continue to have a wonderful future as Europeans travelling to the continent understanding the languages and cultures that make up our common civilisation.



“Britain will continue to be a great European power leading discussions on foreign policy and defence and intelligence sharing which currently goes on to make our world safer.



“But there is simply no need in the twenty-first century to be part of a federal system of government based in Brussels which is imitated nowhere else on earth.”

10:43 The British pound has steadied against the U.S. dollar after an overnight period of uncertainty following the Brexit result. It hit its lowest at 4:30am and has been climbing steadily, as at 10:43 it stood at $1.39

10:13 The right-wing parties of Europe who have been keenly watching Britain’s EU referendum with an eye on their own efforts to exit the European Union have reacted to the Brexit vote with jubilation today. Read more here

09:52 Former Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi has called for calm in the EU after the Brexit vote. Here is his statement:

“I don’t think [Brexit will lead to the breakup of the EU]. The [EU] will remain as it is now, so calm, calm, calm… We shall lose also the best army in the common EU defence.



“What we have to avoid is [to] think that this is only an alarm for Britain. I do think that the votes when we analyse come out as so pro EU in London anti EU outside London. The EU policy has not been in the favour of all people. This austerity has pushed the EU far away from people in need. I hope lessons have been learned.

” What I hope is that…all the trade agreements will go on as they went in the past. We have to take the political consequences but minimise economic ones.”

09:24 Below is the opening to the statement issued by the Bank of England governor, Mark Carney, following the EU referendum result:

The people of the United Kingdom have voted to leave the European Union.

Inevitably, there will be a period of uncertainty and adjustment following this result.

There will be no initial change in the way our people can travel, in the way our goods can move or the way our services can be sold.

And it will take some time for the United Kingdom to establish new relationships with Europe and the rest of the world.

Some market and economic volatility can be expected as this process unfolds.

But we are well prepared for this. The Treasury and the Bank of England have engaged in extensive contingency planning and the chancellor and I have been in close contact, including through the night and this morning.

The Bank will not hesitate to take additional measures as required as those markets adjust and the UK economy moves forward.

08:30 Prime Minister David Cameron has spoken outside Number 10 and conceded he is no longer the man to lead the country after Brexit. This is a synopsis of what he said:

“We should be proud that we trust our people”

“The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected”

Calls Leave campaign ‘spirited and passionate’

“There can be no doubt about the result”

“I would reassure those markets and investors that Britain’s economy is fundamentally strong”

“I’m very proud and honoured to have been Prime Minister of this great country for six years”

“I think the country requires fresh leadership”

“I will do everything I can as prime minister to steady the ship over he coming weeks and months but I do not think it would be right for me to be the captain”

““It’s in the national interest to have a period of stability”

07:52 Donald Tusk has said the remaining EU nations will stay united:

European Council President Donald Tusk has just given a press conference where he said that the remaining EU member states would stay united. He said that EU law would still apply to Britain during its leaving period. And he said that the method by which Britain will leave the European Union is set out in the EU’s treaties.

06:33 Aussie PM Says Impact Will Be “Limited”, Reuters reports:

Australia’s prime minister said on Friday he expects a period of uncertainty and some instability in global markets as Britain was on the verge of Brexit but the immediate impact on Australia will be limited. ‘The impact on Australia immediately, directly, from a legal point of view, will be very limited because it will take some years for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, to negotiate an exit,’ he told reporters. ‘However, we’ve seen already large falls on stock markets and there will be a degree of uncertainty for some time.’

05:46 Exclusive Video: Nigel Farage celebrates Brexit:

Breitbart London has exclusive footage of the UKIP leader celebrating Independence Day.

05:40 Geert Wilders Congratulates Britain:

PVV congratulates British with Independence Day!

Thursday, June 23, 2016, will go down in history as Britain’s Independence Day. The Europhile elite has been defeated. Britain points Europe the way to the future and to liberation. It is time for a new start, relying on our own strength and sovereignty. Also in the Netherlands.

A recent survey (EenVandaag, Dutch television) shows that a majority of the Dutch want a referendum on EU membership. It also shows that more Dutch are in favour of exit than of remaining in the EU.

The Dutch people deserve a referendum as well. The Party for Freedom consequently demands a referendum on NExit, a Dutch EU exit.

As quickly as possible the Dutch need to get the opportunity to have their say about Dutch membership of the European Union.

Geert Wilders: “We want be in charge of our own country, our own money, our own borders, and our own immigration policy. If I become prime minister, there will be a referendum in the Netherlands on leaving the European Union as well. Let the Dutch people decide.”

04:07 Nigel Farage gives a buoyant speech:

“I hope victory brings down this failed project. Let’s get rid of the flag, the anthem. Let June 23 go down as our Independence Day.”

04:04 “David Cameron’s Career Is Over”:

Chief political commentator at the Independent writes:

I'm in shock. David Cameron's gamble has failed. His career is over. Will the Commons sit on Saturday? Is Boris Johnson really up to it? — John Rentoul (@JohnRentoul) June 24, 2016

04:00 Britain Hasn’t Rolled Over:

At the national referendum results event at Manchester Town Hall, Breitbart London spoke with the Bruges Group director, Robert Oulds. Commenting on the nature of British voters he said:

“A lot of the analysts do think that Leave is ahead and Leave will win, which is absolutely amazing if you consider what the British people have had thrown at them from the government in terms of scare stories, fear and intimidation in terms of their jobs and livelihoods — and of course accusations, sometimes of a vile nature, smears.

“That people are still voting to leave and have not been shamed into voting Remain is quite an achievement. It goes to show how resilient the British people are in the face of fear and intimidation.

“They have really shown their true spirit. Whether we win or not, they haven’t rolled over.”

03:28 Another big coup for Leave – Sheffield votes for Brexit:

03:25 The Telegraph reports…

The Labour party is now working on the assumption that leave will win, according to party source. The view in Labour HQ is that, if Britain does vote to leave, Jeremy Corbyn should call upon David Cameron to resign, but senior figures believe that that may prove unnecessary because Cameron may announce his departure of his own accord.

Predicted vote share for Remain: 47.1 percent.

(90% prediction interval: 46.1 to 48.1 percent)

03:13 Conservative MP Nigel Evans speaks to Breitbart:

Conservative MP and Brexit supporter Nigel Evans has told Breitbart London that he expects tonight’s result to be close, but that if Remain does end up winning it could be by such a narrow margin that it ends up a very divisive result for the country.
