Where are the votes. I follow the UK elections, and 2 hours seems an awful long time.

[Jane Long]

LOL!! Amen!

[Tennessee Nana]

Well if Newcastle votes Remain, Santa will be bringing coals for Christmas...

"I fear the fix is in."

I totally agree.... there is no way in living hell the Lawyers and the all powerful Soros's of the world are going to let the common folks decide what will happen to their nation....

there is way too money to be made servicing the "NEW COMERS"...

[Jane Long]

Just heard that Sunderland results will be in within the next ½ hour. Reporter saying Sunderland is looking strong for LEAVE.

Praying so.

Of course, the anchor said fighting that Gibraltar vote will be a challenge. LOL.

Reports early from Scotland that leave has done better tyhan expected and odds improving for Brexit - some hope

[UKrepublican]

We count by hand - takes timefrom next hour results wil start flowing in

[naturalman1975]

Higher turnout than normal means the initial verification process has taken longer than normal. Should start to see mainland results in the next 15-30 minutes.

I wish we did referendums.

Newcastle:
129072
Rem65404
Exit 63598

[Enchante]

Newcastle almost 50-50

[naturalman1975]

Newcastle upon Tyne result.

65,404 in.
63,598 out.

That’s in line with the idea that the vote will be very close and NUT was expected to be inline with the overall vote.

[goldstategop]

Its very close... remain has a narrow lead.

[BigEdLB]

Newcastle 50.7-49.3 Remain. Is that closer than it should be.

[Jane Long]

Newcastle: 65,404 stay

63,598 leave

[Jane Long]

Do they go by total votes..across the country? Or by regions? Thanks.

[Enchante]

NUT 50.7% for REMAIN

wow so close

[Eurotwit]

That part of Britain do suck.

I hope Sunderland will redeem them a bit.

Anyhow, here is graphical evidence of Newcastle suck:

The closer the better in any Labour area.
