We might get some idea this week what the EU are thinking regarding the divorce. It will probably be a bit uncomfortable for Cameron when he goes there tomorrow.

Moving their political allegiance to Le Pen may be the trigger for their government to start doing something about their EU membership rules. As it appears to have done in the UK when UKIP started to get support.

Maybe not yet but I can see a time when France leave as well.

I think he should be hung for it. He spoke as the leader of our nation and hasn't followed it through

He said very clearly that he would invoke A50 immediately and would carry out the wishes of the people. What did he and Osbourne do? He bottled it and the latter went into hiding for the weekend though he is making a statement this morning.

Also where is gorgeous George? Pointless really because when Cameron resigned he basically signed George's resignation letter too.

To be fair, what can they do? Labour are drawing up a Brexit plan laying out what they want from the EU and I suspect the Tories will do the same. It's a wait and see game for Leave now as they can't do anything until they know what's what.

As far as the EU and UK were concerned it was a WIN WIN situation and it backfired now deals have to be made and if it is going to be right for the UK and the EU these things will take a little time.

Again stupidity on those that think this wont affect EU jobs we are intertwined the EU doesn't want to cause mass job losses as much as the UK. Despite all the EU threats they do want to trade.

I do think though despite all this our borders will still be open I think that is something the EU wont trade on?

Listening to the News today I think the EU already know what they want to happen. It's not gonna be easy for DC going there tomorrow with them knowing he's not really in the position of authority he was.

Nothing different there then. It's only around the level it was earlier in the year. You only have to worry if it goes below those currencies or falls dramatically over this week. Can't see that happening though as the BoE and Osbourne will steady the ship with statements. The former already have.

Osborne making his speech.

What a surprise, no emergency budget so that was yet another remain lie! How many voted remain due to war, the collapse of the NHS and an emergency budget?

Sounds like it's 'delayed'. He is confirming the ORb are downgrading growth forecasts so there will be cuts in spending.

Seems strange that before the election he mentions a £30 billion hole in public finances which doesn't even get a mention in today's speech. Pity that none of the reporters appeared to ask him about that.

Like he was in any position of authority before or if the vote had gone the other way.

People keep banging on about Norway having to "sacrifice" allowing freedom of movement. How many from Eastern Europe went there? Not really a big giveaway for Norway. Their priority would've been allowing their Sovereign Fund full access to the EU, so that when their oil and gas runs out they supposedly have something to live off.

Well a budget is delayed but it sounds like he will leave the next Chancellor to deal with any cuts

If there is a GE then there will be a budget. Either way they will have one as there will be an Autumn Statement/Budget.

Lies and misinformation were rampant in both campaigns but leave won so the focus is on theirs and not on remains who get a free pass on all the excrement they spread far and wide. For those calling for action from leave exactly what action can they do Cameron has quit to all intents and purposes but is hanging in there possibly till October though he won't do what he said he'd do and implement article 50. Until Cameron is gone and a new leader takes over there is very little that can actually be done, I suspect the planning stage is in full swing right now so that as soon as it's possible things will start moving.

I'd prefer time to be taken and thought used in determining our next move rather then knee jerk reaction and symbolic actions so a couple of weeks is the least we can give as right now nothing has changed.

Yes that's the way l see it.

[Mr K]

Seems alot of Brexiters are starting to get cold feet.

'Taking our time' = wtf have we done.

[denphone]

Well we know article 50 will not be triggered for three months at least and then its anybody's guess when it will be triggered there after.

or whether it ever will be....

I think we should remember that although David Cameron was in the full EU making decisions nobody backed him. He may just as well have not been there especially when you recall the deal he got.

Maybe by being an associate member just trading with the EU and hopefully paying less in we can use the extra money to address issues like the NHS, housing, schools, jobs and immigration

[techguyone]

I'm still a little bemused why everyone is experiencing buyers remorse, Christ the event only happened last week, why does everyone seem to expect and want everything fixed with a mouse click.

This will take years (plural) there will be pain, and it will take time.

Everyone getting it?
Got it?
Good.

The leave campaign should have made that clear at the outset, although it's hardly rocket science.

As for the stock market - are we REALLY surprised?

Start worrying when it drops really low, it's been inflated for some time artificially high for anyone who can read a LSE chart going back more than 5 minutes.
