Immigration, either it was never about that or we didn't really mean it depending on which part of the leave campaign you were part of.
Money, we didn't mean we were going to spend all the money we saved (not sure how much will be left after we pay for access to the single market or EEA).
Control of our borders, gone from we will reduce immigration to we just meant have control to now looking more likely to go back to (or carry on with depending on your view) free movement of labor if we want access to the single market of EEA.

I think George Osborne in his speech said the deficit had been knocked down from 11% of GDP to just 3%.
Mark Carney said that they had been planning for this possibility for months and had allocated £250 Billion pounds to shore up the economy.
We'll only know for sure about immigration when we hear what plan the new PM is going with and also what steps the government will take to ensure that areas with high immigrant populations are well resourced so that locals are not disadvantaged as well as what steps are to be taken to ensure better distribution of immigrants throughout the country.
If locals can get better, fairer access to schools, medical treatment and jobs hopefully that will ease the resentment towards immigrants.
