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

It's not all bad Billy:

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.

'Louder' doesn't equal 'Rightful', 'Age' doesn't equal 'Knowledge' and 'Youth' doesn't equal 'Naivety'.

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

I just texted my business manager and asked her if I should put all my money in small, unmarked silver coins and bury it. #brexit
