Ooh. Incredibly close in Newcastle. 63,598 to 65,404 in favour of remain.
Predictions said it would be a comfortable win for remain, something like 70%.
Sunderland voted to leave, 82,394 to 51,930. 61%.
Massive win, puts Leave in front for the first time.
Its really the trend in pretty much every democracy in the world right now.Some **** on Twitter just said 'Sunderland you're disgusting'.
Looks like I'm right in thinking this will completely divide Britain. People have so much contempt just because of a referendum.

Cameron is in a right lose-lose regardless whether he gets his way or not.
Pound down 6% in last few minutes - traders getting rid of Sterling after two north east results
Yea, a bunch of billionaires are going to buy the sterling now that it just dropped 6% and sell it when it goes back up and then do it all over again as the night goes on.It's going to likely fluctuate all night as the results come in.
