    The odds have barely moved in the last hour after the initial flurry. Remain is steady at 1/2.

    I know, it's just interesting to see the state of the vote on a country basis.

    Yep, down to 11 from 12, so an improvement in our position relatively speaking rather than a downturn.

    The EU also dont have a large amount of Multilingual people concentrated into a small area hence alot of HQs are set up here

    How can ITN commentator be so surprised that Nationalists in the North want to remain and Unionists want out? It's hardly rocket science.

    A senior Labour MP suggested he might punch "tosspot" Ed Miliband over the state he has left the party in.

    Looks like Labour are in crisis.

    No surprise that northern nationalists went for remain but I thought the unionist vote would be more evenly split seeing as the UUP advocated staying in (although as I mentioned before, Mike Nesbitt was practically AWOL and you got the sense the party were torn on the issue).

    Basildon continues the pattern, Leave is doing better then expected.

    Indications are Birmingham is leaning heavily for 'remain'.

    The remainians will still take this comfortably enough.

    Essex. Expected to be heavily for leave. Clacton was considered to be the area with the highest preference for leave in the UK.
