The pound is in free fall. The London stock market tanked for two days. Big banks are looking for offices in Frankfurt and Paris, and businesses have hunkered down in their bunkers and postponed making investments.

A petition to hold a second referendum has hit close to four million signatures. Polling shows that more than a million of the Leave voters regret their choice.
