    The first thing to stress is that the UK will not leave immediately. The UK will still be a member of the European Union at this stage. The process of leaving will begin, however.

    In a snub to him, a snub to the status quo, and a snub to the entire political establishment, the UK has voted to leave the European Union, to tear up the settlement the country's had for decades, unleashing, perhaps huge opportunity, or perhaps huge risk, perhaps both.

  18. Analysis: West Midlands helps deliver 'decisive' Leave victorypublished at 06:59 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    Sunday Politics Midlands

    The West Midlands voted decisively to Leave the European Union in yesterday's referendum.

    North Warwickshire was the first of the region's areas to declare with a decisive 67% to 33% in favour of Leave.

    It proved to be the start of a series of convincing victories across the patch as result after result here backed the Brexit option.

    There was some brief respite with Remain coming out on top in Cotswold and Warwick but they were scant reward what was a night of misery for pro EU supporters.

    When Coventry and then Birmingham - by a whisker - backed Leave it became clear that there could only be one winner. 

    The West Midlands delivered a devastating verdict giving a landslide victory for the Leave campaign on an historic night for British and European politics.
