Cameron on the brink: PM is urged to quit 'immediately' after humiliating EU defeat

Critics said today that Mr Cameron's authority had 'drained away' after he failed to persuade the country to back continued membership of the EU. Ukip leader Nigel Farage said the Prime Minister should now quit 'immediately' after the UK failed to back his Remain campaign. The Prime Minister is going to speak in Downing Street at around 7am this morning where he will discuss his future. Prominent referendum opponents within his own party however, including Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, were among 84 Tory MPs who signed a letter backing him to stay in Number 10.
