Labour MP Chuka Umunna described the result as ‘seismic’ and said it would ‘affect every person, every single family, and every single community’.

Six areas in Sussex have already declared with Eastbourne, Hastings, Crawley, Rother, and Chichester all voting to leave the EU, with only Lewes backing the remain side so far.

Caroline Lucas, Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, said she was ‘devastated’ and ‘personally heartbroken’ by the result. She felt the EU was a ‘proxy for very legitimate anger’.
