Osborne made his first public comments today (June 27) following the referendum vote to leave the EU – the chancellor had been one of the most prominent Remain supporters alongside prime minister David Cameron.
He said he wanted to “reassure the British people, and the global community, that Britain is ready to confront what the future holds for us from a position of strength”.
Osborne admitted that there would be “uncertainty” during the coming months as the UK begins negotiations over a new working and trade relationship with the EU.
