Former London mayor and high profile Leave campaigner Boris Johnson admitted to a man on the Tube that the Vote Leave campaign has lost the referendum.

Lewis Iwu, director of the Fair Education Alliance, tweeted a photo of the MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, claiming that Johnson said he had "lost" the EU referendum anyway.

Just been asked on tube by @BorisJohnson if I voted leave. I say no. He concedes He's lost anyway. Awkward #EUref pic.twitter.com/sAGcNevw3l

Johnson and his wife Marina made a last-minute dash to the polling station to cast their vote.

The latest YouGov poll has predicted that Remain will win the EU referendum with 52 per cent of the vote.

Meanwhile, pollster TNS said more Leave voters defected to Remain than vice versa.
