Lutfur Rahman wins the referendum in Tower Hamlets.

With a turnout of 104%

Just seen the footage of people in Sunderland and Newcastle running with the ballot boxes - it's a pathetic race to try and declare first.

That would mean nearly half the country want out, and doesn't include the undecided like moi.

They've said on the BBC that Sunderland might not be too keen to declare first as the biggest employer is Nissan who supported Remain whereas Sunderland is thought more likely to vote leave due to its population profile. Newcastle is expected to vote remain as it's had 10's of millions of EU money in the last few years.

It's Newcastle's best chance of winning something this year!

While it may be prestigious to be first to declare, really it is best to be really slow and be the very last result, because that could decide the whole thing.

Makes no difference. If it's one extra vote either way then that's the decision. Now if that one extra vote is for Remain what will you think?

In fact the last poll by YouGov forecasts a Remain win by 52% to 48%

Why are they running with the ballot boxes then? Their race with Newcastle to get the votes counted first is unreal.

Since when did the Germans have a sense of humour? Good luck propping up Europe if we're out
