  10. Analysis: Region votes to leave the EUpublished at 08:30 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    Northwest Leicestershire turning out and voting leave in such numbers, only two days after a Boris Johnson visit might not be so surprising, but a similar pattern of behaviour from the likes of Oadby & Wigston and Melton?  

    That will give local politicians a feast for thought…
