Worst of all outcomes: Very narrow victory. England votes out, Scotland in. Boris in debt to Farage. Rancour and division ahead.

David Dimbleby will be glad of the overtime and Billy Bragg will have a load of new albums out #everycloud

I truly believe this is one of the most devastating things to happen during my lifetime. I felt a fear I've never felt this morning.

We have retreated to the kind of Britain I thought we had forgotten how deeply depressing

'Louder' doesn't equal 'Rightful', 'Age' doesn't equal 'Knowledge' and 'Youth' doesn't equal 'Naivety'.
Still, let's all go to Denmark

Well millennials. We're really really fucked.

Today is a sad day for Britain. All the fear mongering actually worked and fear has won over sense.
