In many ways, Britain leaving is more of an opportunity for Europe than it is a threat
Our PM-in-waiting says leaving the European Union is a 'glorious opportunity'. Perhaps he doesn't realise our 'fifth largest economy' is actually 25th by per capita GDP
Old people said they wanted their country back. So they took it back. From their children
An ostentatiously heartbroken Gove's quivery-voiced paean of love to the "great Prime Minister" he helped destroy is enough to cause genuine nausea
The voters of Britain are headed into the unknown, and it's not at all clear that those in the driving seat have a firm grip on the steering wheel

Rural communities in the north are sick and tired of people from 'down south' telling them what to do. The vote to leave was a demand for independence
Almost by accident, Leave has initiated a revolutionary change, but the weakness of revolutions is that they briefly bring together those with little in common except an antipathy to the status quo
Don't mistake Johnson and Gove's political rhetoric for the idea that they care about the people in Hartlepool, Blackpool and North East Lincolnshire. They came for the EU migrants, and once they are out of the way, they'll come for working class
There is no clearer sign of the forthcoming apocalypse than the suspension of Holly and Phil running through new trends in vagina steaming and the latest in high street Capri pants

The generations with the least to lose have piled economic misery on young people's heads. There will be shock, anger and a mini-exodus to the European capitals
For David Lister, the performance of the night comes from 'underrated' actress Tara Fitzgerald
Nigel Farage spoke in the early hours of today knowing that, together with Tony Blair, he is now the most consequential politician of the post-Thatcher era. This was his victory
According to YouGov, young voters – ie those under 25 - backed Remain by a margin of three to one, though the young are notoriously bad at turning out to vote
London, as the only part of England to vote for Remain, now looks isolated from the country of which it is meant to the capital. Meanwhile highly-qualified Cambridge is pitted against struggling Boston
At the Basildon count, the returning officer could scarcely be heard over chants of 'F*** off Brussels!' Where is the common ground on which our people will unite?
The British people have chosen to leave the EU and they are entitled to have as prime minister someone who believes in that course
