Hi there. If you’re just waking up
- Brexit won
- The £ plummeted to a 30-year low
- Japan has stopped trading
- Scotland is pushing for independence
- Ireland is considering re-unification
- The Dutch Freedom Party are calling for their own EU referendum
Well, this took off whilst I went to sleep for a couple of hours.
An update:
- David Cameron has resigned, a fact I’d never thought I’d be sad about
- Donald Trump just landed in Scotland, because we haven’t suffered enough
- Nicola Sturgeon says EU folk are “still welcome in Scotland” and “their contribution is valued”
- She’s thrown down the gauntlet re: staying in and is petitioning the EU for membership. The result is “democratically unacceptable”
- “I intend to take all possible steps to give effect to how Scotland voted. In other words, to secure our place in the EU”
- Statement officially made that second independence referendum “highly likely”
- The financial markets are a shitshow
- Vote Leave have ALREADY backtracked on their two defining campaign promises (more money for the NHS, less immigration)
- A motion of No Confidence has been leveled at Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who honestly lasted longer than I thought he would
- The UK have lost £350 billion so far
- Spain could re-take Gibraltar if they wanted to make a move
- Morgan Stanley have started the process to move 2,000 investment banking staff from London to Dublin/Frankfurt
- EU leaders are calling on the UK to get out ASAP
- The New York stock exchange is down 500 points
- From the amount wiped off shares, so far, divided by 32m voters… the cost is already at £6,000 per voter
- Donald Trump has come out in support of the decision to leave, which is how you know we messed up real bad
- Everything is fucked
- I’m so sorry
