Astounding correlation of EU ref vote with education
I didn't notice this story myself at the time, or see it discussed here. Back in February, he BBC got EU referendum results for about 1000 council wards, and analysed them.

The correlation of population with a degree and voting remain is amazing:
(I noticed this on Electoral Calculus, which has produced a map with ward level GE and EU ref results and various demographics, but ti should be noted most of that is their modelling using census numbers and the apparent correlations, rather than actual voting results: http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/datamap.html )
