Brexit aftermath

Brexit: France and Germany 'in agreement' over UK's EU exit

Mr Hollande warned that "separated, we run the risk of divisions, dissension and quarrels".

The two will hold talks later in Berlin amid a flurry of diplomatic activity in the wake of so-called "Brexit".

The pound fell further in early trading in Asia on Monday as markets reacted.

UK Chancellor George Osborne will issue a statement before the start of trading in the UK in a bid to calm markets.

'Brexit' could affect Pacific capital raising efforts

That's according to Yurendra Basnett, the country economist and team leader of the Asian Development Bank's mission to Papua New Guinea.

Mr Basnett says one of the longer term effects of a British exit -- or 'Brexit' -- would be the need to renegotiate partnership agreement with Europe in the Pacific.

The provisional agreement between the European Union and PNG provides the country with duty free access to Europe and Britain.

EU referendum: Fear of populism haunts European press

"The EU needs a complete overhaul," says Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung.

"The remaining union has to learn from the Brexit vote and carry out the most fundamental examination of its policies" since its creation in 1957, the paper argues.

Der Tagesspiegel agrees, and tells the EU to "reform or be destroyed".

But it also warns that there is a "shocking gulf" between remedies offered by the political elites - closer integration, especially in economic terms - and the expectations of ordinary Europeans.

Brexit: UK tech sector reacts to Leave vote

As news of Brexit broke, tech firms including BT, TalkTalk and software firm Sage reported share price falls.

For years, the UK - and particularly London - has championed the role of tech firms in buoying the economy.

Hundreds of start-ups have benefitted from the government's Tech City initiative, for example, and both employees and customers have been plucked from EU member states.

Much was once made of British companies' potential to compete with Silicon Valley - hence the nickname of the London hub of "Silicon Roundabout".

Brexit: 'Half' of Labour top team set to resign

It comes after shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn was sacked overnight after telling Mr Corbyn he had "lost confidence" in his leadership.

Hours later, shadow health secretary Heidi Alexander said she would resign.

Mr Corbyn faces a vote of no confidence over claims he was "lacklustre" during the EU referendum - but sources close to Mr Corbyn said he would stand again.

Brexit: Feelings of shock, joy and betrayal

Almost everyone agrees a Brexit is terribly bad news.

"I don't know anyone who would vote leave". "What were those morons thinking?"

They're just couple of the comments I hear as I wait for my morning caffeine hit.

In this constituency 75 per cent of people voted to remain, and outrage is in the air.

Many simply can't believe they've lost the biggest vote in a generation.

"You just can't trust the public with a decision as big as this", says one lawyer who only wants to be known as Tom.

"They just don't understand".

J.K. Rowling, James Corden react to shocking Brexit

     

Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling wrote that she was disappointed: "I don't think I've ever wanted magic more." While, actress Elizabeth Hurley appeared to be elated with the news and wrote "birds are singing."

The opinions were ranging but most celebrities want to share their thoughts.

James Corden seemed to take the news very hard and tweeted that he felt the "youth of Britain" had been "let down today."

Piers Morgan tweeted that it was a "momentous, historic morning."

UK Opposition split after Brexit vote

The Labour leader is facing a vote of no confidence over claims he fought a "lacklustre" campaign in the EU vote.

A Labour spokesman said Mr Corbyn had "lost confidence" in Mr Benn.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said Mr Corbyn "worked himself to the ground" during the four-month campaign.

Senior Labour sources have also told the BBC that a significant number of shadow cabinet resignations were likely if Jeremy Corbyn were to ignore the result of the confidence vote.

Why the U.S. is freaked out about Brexit

The outcome of Britain's referendum instantly pitched an already weakened Europe into a new crisis, opening the possibility that other member states could choose to leave the E.U. and create new headaches for Washington.

American leaders on all sides of the political aisle Friday expressed respect for the decision of British voters and vowed to stand with America's "special relationship" ally Britain and the diminished European Union once both partners have finalized their divorce -- a period that could take years.

Anti-establishment tsunami sweeps Europe

The decision upended global markets, led to UK Prime Minister David Cameron's plans to resign and blew a cloud of uncertainty over Europe.

And the UK isn't alone. Anti-establishment leaders in France and other countries are already pushing similar referendums.

This month, Rome got its first female mayor in its almost 2,800-year history.
