  6. 'Strange news' to wake up to at Euro 2016published at 14:31 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    Paul Jones

    Wales football fan Paul Jones, 59, of Llandrindod Wells, Powys, said it was "strange" to receive the news of a Brexit vote while staying in the French capital ahead of tomorrow's Wales v Northern Ireland last 16 game.

    "I voted to remain in," he said. "I don't think the full truth has come out of the impact of it [a Brexit] will be.

    "It's been maybe rushed through. I was a bit 50/50 myself but I thought better the one you know."

  8. 'Democratically unacceptable'published at 14:22 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    Scotland's first minister has said a second independence referendum is "highly likely" after the UK voted to leave the EU.

    Nicola Sturgeon said it was "democratically unacceptable" that Scotland faced the prospect of being taken out of the EU against its will.

    Scotland voted in favour of the UK staying in the EU by 62% to 38%.

    In Wales, the result was weighted the other way with 52.5% of voters choosing to leave the EU, and 47.5% to remain.

  11. A question of income and social class?published at 14:05 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    Analysys

    Vaughan Roderick
    BBC Welsh Affairs editor

    We have seen a very surprising pattern. We have seen working class Labour voters go fairly solidly "Vote Leave", far more strongly than we were expecting.

    Leave won Bridgend - which is First Minister Carwyn Jones' territory - and they won Rhondda Cynon Taff, which is Leanne Wood's home territory.

    So maybe it is not the individual politicians we should be looking at - it is actually a question of income and social class more than political affiliation or political leadership.

    Are we looking at a situation where people who felt they have had nothing to lose voted to leave, whereas people who feel they have something to lose - Labour or Conservative - decided to vote remain?

  13. 'Give Wales its fair share'published at 13:53 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    Neil Hamilton

    UKIP's leader in the assembly, Neil Hamilton, demanded the Conservative government "guarantees us our fair share of the Brexit dividend".

    "The Welsh Government must be given every penny of British taxpayers' money which the EU currently spends in Wales," he said.

    "We demand our fair share of the £10bn of our money which Brussels spends outside Britain every year - that would be at least £500m a year extra for Welsh projects, including the NHS. 

    "We must also take back control of our trade policy as soon as possible and slap effective tariffs on dumped Chinese steel to help save Port Talbot. 

    The future is bright. All political parties must work together to make the most of our new freedoms."
