i asked our political correspondent, ben wright, whether they had been convinced by her remarks. stabilised what was a very precarious situation she found herself in after botching this general election so badly and destroying overnight the government's working majority in the house of commons. it did look, over the weekend, that theresa may was very precarious, that she was in trouble, but i think she has done enough in the last day or so to steady the ship. there are a couple of reasons. number one, she had to get on board her parliamentary party, the conservative party, and her cabinet. they had to rally around and support her and it is clear they have. she went to a meeting of conservative mps this evening and she was humble, she showed contrition, she apologised or calling this election in the first place and took full responsibility for losing it and, the second point, crucially suggested she will change the way she will govern and listen to a wider circle of people and make decision—making in a more collective, collaborative way. will revisit some policies that had proved

earlier i spoke to ben wright in westminster — and asked him whether this was where theresa may thoughtnth ago. she had hoped for a dominant commons majority. lots of new conservative mps who would help drive through pretty contentious policies around the future of social care, the future of education, that she believed she would have a big majority to secure. she has returned to westminster now running a minority government without a majority, having to do a deal with a smaller party in northern ireland, the democratic unionist party. she has not nailed down the details of that yet. she is looking precarious and that is the reason that i some of the contentious stuff and the ma nifesto for of the contentious stuff and the manifesto for the conservatives has had to be scraped into the bin. it would not get through the house of commons. the reality that brexit related legislation, there will be lots of it, it will mop up lots of parliamentary time. if the election had gone betterfor theresa may there might not be room for the domestic social policy. looking john major had to go through w

let's get the thoughts of our political correspondent ben wright on this busy and fast—moving afternoonhour, we have had the resignation of two people, who it's fair to say a lot of people in the conservative party really didn't like and thought were corrosive influence. what's the impact? the immediate impact is it demonstrates theresa may's willingness to survive this crisis, that she is willing to see cut adrift her two most important advisers. it is hard to overstate. we talk about government advisers, but it's hard to overstate how important these two are to theresa may. they have been with her three yea rs, may. they have been with her three years, fiercely loyal to theresa may throughout her years at the home office, making enemies as they went, across whitehall, in their defence for may through thick and thin. they been the key or part of the key to theresa may's survival and success over the last few years. they're not your normal advisers. in the course of their careers, they have made enemies. they were hugely powerful. they've been with a long time. in 2006, nick timothy wen

our political correspondent ben wright looks at where the campaign went wrong leading to the conservative across the country, conservatives dreams crumbled. tory ministers lost seats, including ben gummer in ipswich who helped to write the party's manifesto. the conservatives were not braced for this. quickly the blame began. the campaign going well, until we launched our manifesto with the triple assault on the core vote, the elderly. frankly from then on in, people were not interested in the labour party's people were not interested in the labour pa rty‘s manifesto, people were not interested in the labour party's manifesto, all they wa nted labour party's manifesto, all they wanted to know is were they going to lose the winter payments and the impact of the so—called dementia tax. a self—inflicted wound that should not have happened. it was not meant to turn out like this. theresa may surprised everyone with a snap election to crush political opponents and bring stability to the brexit negotiations. the only way to guarantee certainty and stability for the years ahead is to hold the el

and they think that the deal could be announced as soon as thursday. 0ur political correspondent ben wrightn, mark suggesting a deal could be in the works, is there a possibility there might not be a deal? of course there might not be a deal? of course there is. this has taken longer than we expected. the assumption was the friday after the general election and theresa may made her intention clear to strike a so—called confidence and supply arrangement with the dup. she wanted that done quickly. we were expecting it perhaps that weekend. were now ten days on and it still has not been nailed down. i think there will be an agreement, in fact i'm certain there will be. it is not in the conservative party's there will be. it is not in the conservative pa rty‘s interests there will be. it is not in the conservative party's interests nor the dup's not to go ahead with this. but it is clearly proving more problematic than many of us expected. it means that the government goes into tomorrow's queen's speech with no guaranteed majority nailed down. no dealfixed. i should say the government will get

ben wright is on theresa may's campaign bus. ben can tell us where he is in progress up date. began in lancashire this morning and visited a small ba kery this morning and visited a small bakery at around 7am and then we nipped in to wales after that, near wrexham where she met a farming family and then it was onto the midlands, a rally in stoke—on—trent and she took questions from the press and she has just done a walkabout at a science fair in cheltenham and charon is held by a tory mp but it actually is a target seat for the liberal democrats, unusualfor seat for the liberal democrats, unusual for theresa may's campaign because they have been rattling through seats held by labour and some instances with large majorities that that is one they think they need to keep an eye on and try to defend that she was asked earlier whether her campaign had then especially negative over the last few weeks and this is what she said. i have been fighting a positive campaign, i have been out and about as half my cabinet colleagues, as have other ministers are are out there on the ground and

but first let's talk to ben wright who is on the conservative battle bus. going on in these final hours of campaigning? the west midlands is where we are at the moment, theresa may has had a long day, she began at 5:30am in a meat market in london and then down to southampton. a key marginal they wa nt to to southampton. a key marginal they want to win. labour held a majority of 4500. a clue to the kind of seats that they are hoping to get. then theresa may flew to east anglia, an eventin theresa may flew to east anglia, an event in norwich and then nottingham and now a final rally this evening which will mark the end of her campaign. it all feels quite different to the campaign that jeremy corbyn is running. theresa may does not have great big rallies with thousands of enthusiastic supporters turning up, or much more small scale and control. i do not think that they mind that but certainly we have heard now for six weeks the same message repeated again and again about strong and sta ble again and again about strong and stable leadership. i'm trying to make

that's ben wright on the bus which is picks lated. our election studio and he has been considering the scale of the electoral challenge that faces each of the main political parties. let's look at what the parties may be hoping for, and perhaps fearing as well. here is the map as it was painted in in the 2015 election only two years ago. let's look first at the conservative battleground, the seats they are defending, the most marginal, the tightest last time. gower, derby north, croydon central. these are all ones that they will struggle to hang onto if they're on the back foot. if they lose just this first column here, the conservatives will be plunged into a minority where they can't outnumber all the other mps in the house of commons. but look at it from the other angle. when this election campaign started people were talking about a conservative landslide. well, these are their targets, the ones that they were closest to winning last time. chester, ealing, berwickshire, brentford, halifax, and so on. if they won the whole of this

let'sjoin ben wright in deeside.ecasters disagree with that. how successful do you think she is going to be today, in moving the conversation onto the terms that she wants to talk about? it isa terms that she wants to talk about? it is a contrast to those forecasts. and contrast to what theresa may we re and contrast to what theresa may were saying before the referendum. she did not say a lot in the referendum campaign but she was clear ina referendum campaign but she was clear in a big speech she made that she did not think britain could be more prosperous, safe and secure outside the eu. in the last year of course she has a determine narrative around, on brexit, herself, and some passion and she believes this can be a great moment for the uk. that is what she will be saying here in the next half—hour or so. she is wanting to get the tory campaign back on to the central issue, that they want this to be all about comedy, negotiations. the contrast between theresa may and jeremy corbyn, leadership. the conservative pa

the cabinet reshuffle is already under way and our correspondent ben wright is at downing street withhe top post staying the same. no real surprise there. not a surprise considering what happened last night. there had been speculation during the campaign that philip hammond, the chancellor, might be in trouble. he barely had any role in this campaign, kept out of sight and it was thought, had theresa may been returned a thumping majority, she might have wanted to have a switch in the treasury. the fa ct have a switch in the treasury. the fact she has reappointed all the key people to theirjob straightaway is a sign of her weakness. philip hammond stays where he is, boris johnson stays in the foreign office, michael fallon stays in defence, amber rudd in the whole office, the big jobs are staying where they are. it is continuity. there will have to bea it is continuity. there will have to be a reshuffle in the lower ranks because eight ministers lost their seats last night so there will have to be changes made. but this was a reshuffle that changes pretty much nothing and as i said, de
