EU Referendum: what the tabloids got wrong the day after the UK voted

That the tabloids went to Press before the EU Referendum vote was known is shown in their coverage of the vote.

The Daily Mail

Page 4: “Operation Save Dave”

How well did that go. Not very. David Cameron has resigned as Prime Minister.

(Page 5): “Brexit camp jitters after close exit poll verdict”.

News is that UKIPm leader Nigel Farage has “conceded defeat”. Farage and his UKippers won.

Daily Mirror:

Front page: “As Farage all but concedes defeat..and after fear and hate.. Britain needs Remain & Leave supporters to start the healing process”

Wise words form the paper that on the day of the vote produced this:

The paper that shamefully milked the death of Jo Cox for its own ends:

Pages 2-3: “FARAGE: I’VE LOST”

Page 2: “A final YouGove poll published at 10pm gave 52% to Remain and 48% Leave”

Page 2: “The Leave campaign was given a boost with a higher than expected turnout, especially in England’s North”.

England’s North rejected Remain to vote Leave.

Pages 6-7: “Now only one thing matters… replacing the fear and hate with a future of hope”

The Sun:

Pages 6-7: “Civil wars Tories in mega plot to Save the Dave”

Daily Star:

Pages 4-5: “£6bn WIN-WIN FOR BRITAIN – Cash to pour in whatever the result is”

The out vote triggers a steep decline in the FTSE and the value of the pound on the money exchanges.

Such are the facts in the papers ‘wot won it’.
