Is the decision to leave the EU a protest vote gone wrong?
It certainly looks that way after a study revealed only 30 per cent of Leave supporters thought the UK would actually vote leave.
Yesterday’s results have left plenty of people in shock, with the markets in turmoil after the polls delivered an unexpected decision.
Just this morning £100 billion has been wiped off the FTSE, the Prime Minister has resigned and the pound has suffered the largest currency depreciation of any currency ever.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
