Suggests a very narrow victory for remain.

52-48 or closer.

Either way it isn't going to be that conclusive it seems.

Its a strange one, i would still say it is too close to call.

However leave is drifting by the hour started the day at 5/1 you can now get 8/1. Remain is 1/12

This is extremely telling imo

This won't be a shift due to money going down. This will be the bookies holding their own exit polls.

Possibly going on voter turnout, where more is thought to favour remain. Nobody knows though as this election could be very different to other ones

Its a strange one because it is supposed to be such a tight call.

Its a 50-50% two horse race and the bookies have tied it up like Manchester United playing Wrexham in the FA cup.

During the GE the bookies had the Tories favorite by a margin, while the polls were suggesting a split government.

Why the bookies are doing this, i dont know, but it seems there is money to be made if you fancy the leave vote, or even on a punt.

FTSE up 1.21% - the pound up 1.17% against the dollar. Up 2.34% against the Yen. Also up 1.18% against the Guatemalan Quetzal.

The markets think it's more or less a conclusive Remain vote. They have more information than the news outlets and the bookies.

If it was as close as 52-48, the markets would be down. They're up. They've been moving up all week. The pound has been moving up all week. These people have a lot of data - I'd be betting on a 55-45 win to remain on the market data. I could be wrong completely.

Being part of a number of weird Facebook groups, it seems the opposite.

Leave posters are more likely to be quiet, whereas Remain posters are more likely to announce that they're voting against Farage & Boris.

I read earlier that Remain was meant to be 55-45 ahead until about 3am-4am, and then Brexit constituencies were meant to come in en masse, and hopefully close that gap.

Scotland and London voter turn out a much lower ratio than the rest of the country. This could be the deciding factor.

The polls wrong across the board. Britain is full of closet racists shocker. Blighty wants a shift to the right toward nationalism and away from centralised government.

Every county in Wales has voted to leave so far. As a Plaid member, I really hope that the Brussels faction in the party see their folly.

Swansea, Merthyr, Conwy, Wrexham, Gwent, Anglesey. All Leave.

I think so. Anne Widdecombe (leave) was saying she didn't think Scotland would get into the eu if independent so wasn't worried that they'd vote to leave the uk. I think she's missing the point. Scots would rather be away from London and out of Europe than with London and out of Europe.

This is a conundrum all right.

Jacob Rees-Mogg: "If the EU is the sort of club that, if you want to leave it, you get knee-capped, it's not a club you want to be part of in the first place."

The EU in the coming years seems like it could be an organisation where you either exit via the door, or fall through the floor...can't see Greece lasting much longer.

Alastair campbell just said the people who most led the vote to leave will be hit hardest by what's been done.

It's hardly a day for celebrating and I would have said that if the remain side had won - this country is in a terrible state.

The last two months of campaigning, the hostility and lies from almost everyone involved - politicians and newspapers especially - has been a low for the UK.

Well that was thrilling if you witnessed it in real time, but surely there has to be a general election? I don't see how Cameron and Osborne can be in charge of any Brexit?

Just one person on the leave side said something along the lines of "we could become a smaller, yes, but more innovative and modernising economy" yet that was the best argument to leave. He isn't even in government.

For all those saying the Valley's have been let down and needs control back, only the EU has consistently supported your area.
For those saying democracy has won, has Boris/Gove/Patel ever voiced support of opening up democracy apart from attacks on the EU?
For those saying it's about immigration, freedom of movement is such a small price to pay next to what we'll swallow in negotiations with China and India without the power of the EU behind us.

There were arguments to leave but not voiced by its main supporters and this is instead largely in reaction to the politics of those championing it loudest.
