More than 125 billion pounds was wiped off the markets yesterday as the value of the English pound dropped in widespread uncertainty.

In a shocking move, Prime Minister David Cameron, who was the biggest proponent of remaining in the EU, announced his resignation as the nation’s political leader. Cameron had been under increasing pressure in his party for supporting the leave vote and will be replaced in the coming months.
