Nigel Farage spoke in the early hours of today knowing that, together with Tony Blair, he is now the most consequential politician of the post-Thatcher era. This was his victory

According to YouGov, young voters – ie those under 25 - backed Remain by a margin of three to one, though the young are notoriously bad at turning out to vote
