You've been saying the polls weren't based in reality - you may have your finger on the pulse

Possible -riding both horses maybe!

Why are the BBC deleting tweets?

From Political betting

h1If Sunderland is representative of Labour areas in England, then I’m calling this for Leave

Was Sunderland the main result for the leave camp in order to have a fighting chance?

Plenty of twists and turns to come yet I'll bet.

Perhaps the high turnout represents an angry protest vote against the Establishment? That's something the pundits never anticipated

My sister in law who is a labour supporter shocked me by actually voting leave. She said she was thinking about it but I didn't think she would.

She's a solicitor and certainly doesn't fit the stereotypical disgruntled supporter that were have been hearing about.

I'm sticking with central prediction of 54-55% remain
12:23 AM - 24 Jun 2016

Pound down 6% investors are genuinely very worried their internal polls to put it bluntly have Fkd it, panic selling like ive never seen before

Because they are part of the establishment and London-based meritocracy.

People were saying earlier that 53% for Brexit in Sunderland would mean a very close result nationwide. 61% is a very good result for Brexit.

hm for me brexit will get at least 47% but i think theyl win

Take a look at @PeterKellner1's Tweet: https://twitter.com/PeterKellner1/st...409785856?s=09

Peter Kellner says he's sticking by his remain prediction but I'm not sure why he's so confident after Sunderland!

What were the polls forecasting for Sunderland. Was it a narrow win for Leave, say 52%?

Yes, didn't the pollsters think a high turnout was bad for the leave side?

Good! Thanks.

He stuck with his prediction last May too - and he was wrong.

Brave call

With any luck it'll mean a big increase in interest rates.

I read many times that if leave won sunderland 4
53-47 it would indicate the country as a whole roughly level. It could be that sunderlands simply an outlier, or it could be brexit are winning.

Any idea on time of next result anyone

A high turnout up to 70% good for Remain, a mega-high turnout above 70% better for Leave.

That's what I mean -can his reputation withstand egg on his face twice on such big polls!!

Brexit now as short as 2/1 in the betting.

I think they were predicting a considerably narrower win that what they got.

Good grief!
