The next Prime Minister must take urgent action to tackle this crisis. So @trussliz & @RishiSunak - what's your plan? #Liz4Leader#Ready4Rishi
@puggled29 @BBCLauraKT Nearly as many voted against Brexit as for Brexit. It’s about time people stopped talking about Brexit as if it was a landslide win. And what about the millions that didn’t turn up to vote? Mention one good thing that’s come from B….t?
