Firstly, I am delighted at the result, which will allow the UK to have full control of its destiny.
But I am genuinely very sad the Prime Minister felt he had to resign and I was one of the MPs who signed the letter last night asking him to remain in charge.
He has been an excellent leader of our party and a superb PM who delivered an election victory only a year ago, so it does seem a real shame.
The Conservatives must now elect another leader and I’m sure candidates will soon be putting their hats in the ring. When that happens, I will be looking at who is the best person to take the country forward, and crucially, who is best person to negotiate effectively with the EU.
These are very exciting and, of course, worrying times and I fully understand some people will be concerned about the future, but this country has immense talent, resources and belief, and it will prosper outside the EU.
Also please do have a listen to the me today on the Louisa Hannan show on Radio Solent discussing these issues just before 5pm: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radiosolent
