@CityIndex

Leave's lead grows to 176,888 and GBPUSD resumes it's slide, back down to 1.4225 from 1.4500 half an hour ago.

@bbclaurak

Curtice not calling it, BUT says Leave now are favourites

Leave on course for 12-point lead, Sky predicts @Skydata

Prof Michael Thrasher preliminary forecast as things stand for @skynews:

Leave 56% Remain 44%

...back down to 1.4225 from 1.4500 half an hour ago

wow, three whole cents, quite a "plunge". The only reason this kind of media spin will stop is, they'll continue looking foolish until there's no more doubt in their minds that everyone sees how foolish they are. I checked sometime last week I think, and the Euro was at 1.20something, and sterling was in this same 1.40s range. Watch for Obama to pull something stupid next to try to screw the UK and help the EU.

The opening bell tomorrow will be interesting plus the STAY folks in the UK will start hollering foul or something.

Trump has always for Brexit!

I remember watching Fox earlier this evening around 500pm cst, and Fox was reporting that it looked like remain had edged it by about 4%.

As Kevin Spacey once said in some movie-

WRRRRROOOOONGGGGGG!!!!!

[Whenifhow]

Fox is now showing the futures on screen - down 600+
And gold is up nearly 80

Also they mentioned that Trump is in Scotland

Almost 1,000,000 votes ahead.

[SkyDancer]

Yeah, that’s it! It’s all Mr. T’s fault. I bet 0bama will be heading to his fainting couch, the dear.

Had flipped to msnbc earlier around 4 pm and they were saying how Trump was making a mistake by going to Scotland and taking the press with him.

And that Trump was missing a big opportunity to make progress on the campaign.

Bet those press members are glad to be there now!

This is great for Trump’s message against the globalization.

Twitter: Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 3h3 hours ago Leaving now for a one night trip to Scotland in order to be at the Grand Opening of my great Turnberry Resort. Will be back on Sat. night!

Also they mentioned that Trump is in Scotland

What timing! I hope he rubs it in the Globalists' faces.

[Ken H]

Heard that same spin.

[Jane Long]

Yep...listened to several of the pundits questioning Trump’s trip/timing to Scotland. One dunce even said “suspending his campaign”. LOL!!

This is, by far, one of the best campaign moves Trump could make.

You’re spot on...it’s a great opportunity for Trump to call out the globalists!!

Woo hoo!!

Go Trump!

[GilGil]

Trump will win against Hillary 52-48!

Time out between kids soccer games to tune in to good news of UK voting to leave the European Union - choosing independence from global special interests and affirming status that controls its own borders and protects its own people. Happy Brexit prevails!
