It’s seven years since Britain voted to leave the EU. We’ve dug up some archive reporting from the day after the vote.

Brexit supporters are waking up to the news they’ve been dreaming of – Britain has voted to leave the European Union.

The celebrations are kicking off online with people referring to the day of this historic result as ‘Independence Day’.

Huge congratulations on our Independence Day!!! A superb result for the UK

Nigel Farage even called for a national holiday.

Others weren’t so keen on the idea.

Ugghh please none of this #IndependenceDay crap, we weren't conquered and oppressed. Let's have a bank holiday for kittens, we all love them

#Brexit xenophobia and hate won. This will hardly be #IndependenceDay. Spent so many years in this country that became home #feelingrejected

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.
