Anyway he is here to visit his beloved golf course, and he was asked what he thought of the Brexit result. He said it was "brave and brilliant," and "they took back control of their country." How short are the odds on a Trump president and Johnson Pm double...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Extreme far right parties across Europe have hailed the UK’s vote to leave the EU. The decision appears to be seen as a great victory for their own anti-EU and anti-immigration aims. It is assumed they will now push for similar votes in their own nations. The fear within the EU will be that a domino effect may ripple through the remaining member states, with other countries hoping to follow suit. The European project is...

Boris Johnson, tipped for Tory leadership following the EU referendum result, had to fight through crowds of people shouting 'scum' and 'traitor' en route to the Leave Campaign's headquarters. The former London Mayor is due to deliver a speech following a monumental decision to leave the European Union, but he had to battle angry crowds first.

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor The referendum campaign sinks lower and lower and I think many would just like it to be over now. Now a plane flying a Vote Leave banner flew over Trafalgar Square as Jo Cox's husband paid an emotional tribute to her. The event this afternoon was arranged on what would have been her 42nd birthday, until she was brutal murdered last week. Mr Cox had been telling crowds his wife ‘lived for her beliefs’ and...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor After all the posturing and the praise for the fish industry in the face of EU regulations, would Boris kiss one of his beloved fish, well we reckon he didn't.
