The MEP for the Yorkshire and the Humber, Timothy Kirkhope, external, has just released this statement
Quote MessageIt was right for the Prime Minister to give the British people the chance to vote on the UK's membership of the EU. I accept the outcome but I regret the result, especially as 75% of young people want the UK to remain in the EU. Now it will be for a new leadership in Westminster to effect the promises and security that they offered during the referendum campaign to make sure that these young people have as many opportunities in the future outside of the EU as they have had within it."
Timothy Kirkhope, Cons MEP, Yorkshire and the Humber.

Bill from Brinsworth was one the 1.6 million people in Yorkshire to vote Leave. The thing is, he never expected the Brexit vote to win.
Earlier, he called BBC Radio Sheffield and I asked him how he feels...
Google has said there was a dramatic spike in searches for Irish passport applications as news of the UK's decision to leave the EU broke.
The overwhelming majority of the searches came from Northern Ireland.
The search giant also reported more searches for "what happens if we leave the EU" around midnight on 23 June and for other phrases like "British independence day" and "Norway EU" .

In Doncaster, Barnsley and Rotherham around 70% of the electorate voted to leave.
Why?
Well, many who live here feel they've not benefited from the EU as these people in Barnsley explain...

Earlier we had a statement from Sheffield University and now Sheffield Hallam have released their response on the vote to leave to EU.
They've said that whilst clarification of certain points is still needed, they foresee a two-year exit plan for the UK and that tuition fees will, therefore, not change until after 2017 for EU students.
Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty foresees a two-year negotiation process between the UK and other Member States, during which time the terms of the UK’s exit from the EU will be decided.
Quote MessageWhilst we await clarity on some key specific issues, it is very clear that the implications of this result will be profound: extending beyond the market, economic and political turbulence of the next days and weeks."
Quote MessageUntil (the exit) process completes, the UK remains a member of the EU, and we expect the university's academic collaborations across the EU to continue. Therefore, I can confirm that Sheffield Hallam will not change tuition fees for EU students that have already been published for 2016/17. There will be other impacts on the university, but it will take us some time to work them through.

Jane Collins, Yorkshire's UKIP MEP, has been telling me how leaving the EU will not mean that the "drawbridge is going to come up" to stop immigrants from Europe.
She says the people have had their say...

At 22:00 last night, political commentators had a script in mind for what was going to happen.
The Remain side was going to win by a couple of percentage points and David Cameron so safe in Number 10 they could probably order the decorators in.
Image source, AFP/Getty ImagesIt all went wrong because the voters had a completely different script in mind. It's astonishing really.
The fact David Cameron's going is not surprising in itself, but maybe we thought it might happen in six months' time.

BBC Look North, Yorkshire
Yorkshire voted overwhelmingly in favour of leaving the European Union last night.
Only three areas in the region - Harrogate, Leeds and York - voted to remain, with more than 1.5m of us backing Brexit.
You've been sharing some of your thoughts on our Facebook , externalpage.
Quote MessageSome people are just never happy. Whether voted in or out some people just love to moan. Everyone has there own reason for voting how they did so let's just do what YORKSHIRE FOLK DO AND GET ON WITH IT. :)
Craig Binns
Quote MessageThink all those with good jobs and plenty of money in the Yorkshire area are the ones who will be complaining the most. Might make us all now on an even keel. Everything will sort itself out in time. This is a new chapter for our country.
Heather Baxter
Quote MessageI live in Harrogate and we voted to stay in. Very proud of that. Shame about most of the rest of the county.
Angela McPartlan
Quote MessageWell I'm glad it's over just hope people don't live to regret leaving the EU I voted to remain and I'm not rich as some of you on seem to think only the rich will regret leaving I found my self better off in the EU I was treated as a equal were when I first started working women were treated like second class citizens so good luck to you all

More on the news that two Labour MPs have submitted a motion of no confidence in Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Image source, Getty ImagesMargaret Hodge and Ann Coffey confirmed the move in a letter to the chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party.
The motion has no formal constitutional force but calls for a discussion at their next PLP meeting on Monday.
It will be up to the PLP chairman to decide whether it is debated. If accepted it would be followed by a secret ballot of Labour MPs on Tuesday.
Labour MPs Margaret Hodge and Ann Coffey have today sent a letter to John Cryer MP, chair of the Parliamentary Labour Party, submitting a motion of no confidence in party leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Labour MP Angela Smith has told me that Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn should "consider his position" following the UK vote to leave the European Union.
She also says the country will need strong leadership during what will be a "turbulent time".
The London stock market has plunged in the wake of the UK's referendum vote to leave the EU.
In the opening minutes of trade, the FTSE 100 index fell more than 8% before regaining some ground by mid-morning.
Image source, ReutersEarlier, the pound fell dramatically as the referendum outcome emerged. At one stage, it hit $1.3236, a fall of more than 10% and a low not seen since 1985.
A weaker pound buys fewer dollars or other foreign currencies, which makes it more expensive to buy products from abroad. However, it should benefit exporters as it makes their goods cheaper abroad.
Great article here on what we can all expect after this vote.
I mean, no one really knows for sure, but it explores the various implications very well.
