our political correspondent chris mason is at our big breakfast tent. t who will keep us safest chris? absolutely. who would have thought that a few weeks ago when the prime minister said that this is the election about brexit, the question of brexit which will dominate the news is featured now and again in this campaign but it has not dominated it in the way that they may have thought. inevitably, the focus is on national security, not least because the prime minister has some tough questions coming her way because of the job she did before. she was a secretary for six years under david cameron and there are many questions, particularly around theissue many questions, particularly around the issue of police numbers. you look at the facts and the facts are that police numbers, and that is relatively small proportion of police to carry guns, has fallen since 2010. conservatives say they are working to address that in the number of armed police will creep up but there are intense questions now from labour and from the liberal democrats and the s&p and they

but first chris mason is in downing street. gues how it was possible that an election that she called voluntarily could lead to her party going backwards. she wanted it to turbo—charge her authority. instead, it acts as a wheel clamp on her future. so, in these discussions she has to decide what she can do to try and hold her government together. and it starts with this, a document i have waved around one breakfast like a rather a lot in the last couple of weeks, the conservative ma nifesto. couple of weeks, the conservative manifesto. this was meant to be her proud sacred governing text fulham next five years instead, in all likelihood, whole chapters will be ripped up now to chris page, who's in belfast. chris, there was confusion at the weekend about whether there is actually a deal in place with the dup. what's the latest? exit polls following the first round of france's parliamentary election suggest president macron's new centrist party is on course for a landslide victory. projections show la republique en marche and its

our political correspondent, chris mason, is in westminster for us this morning. when can we expect a deal to be announced? you have a piece of paper with you. yes. over the past few weeks i have tried to make it a short time tradition to wave around pieces of paper like the manifestoes. this is goatskin parchment paper. in all of this turmoil, something like this is releva nt? this turmoil, something like this is relevant? well, the queen's speech, the government's programme for government, is set out on this. so when they go into the archive for hundreds of years, it does not deteriorate and can still be read. the twist is you have to commit this three days in advance to dry. there will be some horse—trading with dup about what the plan is. that is one of the delayed. the other delayed is this, the parchment paper, meaning the queen's speech is likely to be pushed back by a couple of days we still have not got a date for that. iam still have not got a date for that. i am told no goats are actually used, sacrifice, in the creation of this paper. very good news. i

chris mason, bbc news, westminster.ay, the prime minister is meeting the 1922 committee of backbenchers, convincing them she has listened to the message of voters. their leader is graham brady, conservative mp who was saying to us earlier that he expected the prime minister to deliver a message that convinced them that things were going to change. our chief political correspondent vicki young is outside the houses of parliament now. a thought first of all on that meeting and how important it is, and then maybe a thought on the latest of the timings of the queen's speech? conservative mps have come back here today, any of them in shock about what has happened. i spoke to a senior conservative who said that they have the weekend to calm down and now they feel like grumpy teenagers about what has happened, rather than pure vitriol. some are very angry about what has happened and they want theresa may to ta ke happened and they want theresa may to take responsibility for that. they expect her to do that in that meeting goin

chris mason is in downing street, where all eyes and cameras are focused on the door, as we wait for bit more detail. yes, you and me both on that. the microphones are setup, three of those floppy microphone set up just outside the door. some of the delegation travelling with the leader of the dup, arlene foster, have already come out of the building, so any moment now, which is always a dangerous phrase for a reporter reporting live to use. the door opens, here comes arlene foster, let's see what she has to say. so, good morning. following the general election results and the mandate given to us by the people of northern ireland, we have been in discussions with the conservative and unionist party as to how we can support the minority conservative government in parliament. today, we have reached an agreement with the conservative party on support for government in parliament. this agreement will operate to deliver a sta ble agreement will operate to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom's national interest at this vital time. throughout these discussions, our guiding pri

there are just over three days left to save devolution. 0ur political correspondent, chris mason, is all morning. they got there in the end, chris. they did. it took awhile. there was a book written after the coalition agreement between the conservatives and the lib dems back in 2010, called five daysin lib dems back in 2010, called five days in may. it is now 18 days in june, fora days in may. it is now 18 days in june, for a much, days in may. it is now 18 days in june, fora much, much days in may. it is now 18 days in june, for a much, much looser arrangement between the conservatives and the democratic unionists than there was back then between the conservatives and the lib dems. confidence and supply is the rather nerdy language used to describe this deal. it is the dup saying, we will back you on the very big votes, so issues on confidence if the government faces a motion of no—confidence, the would back the conservatives. they will back the queen's speech, they will back budget and brexit legislation. that sounds like a long list, but there isa sounds like a long list, but ther

our political correspondent case mason in westminster who is listening to all of this for us —— chris masonclearly they didn‘t want this to have to happen, to shack up with the democratic unionist party and allocate rather a lot of money in the direction of northern ireland that bluntly would not have been heading there had it not have been heading there had it not been for their failure to secure a majority. you heard just a few moments ago from labour, the key question that the conservatives are going to face over and over again and which, as he pulled out of the exchanges, we still hadn‘t got an explicit answer to which is, where is that money coming from? we know it adds up to £1.5 million. a third of it was already allocated to northern ireland but with some pretty tight restrictions on how it could be spent. the other £1 billion amounting to a lot of money, £100 million for every mp the dup has, we don‘t know exactly where that is coming from and where it may have been spent instead had it not been for the par louse political situation the conservatives find themselves in. what damian

we can now speak to our political correspondent, chris mason, in cheadle, where the liberal democrat at has been the fundamental challenge for the liberal democrats. at the beginning of this campaign, the prime minister's pitch was that the justification for an election was brexit, and give her a bigger majority to make more —— as some people are sceptical about. some people are sceptical about. some people are sceptical about. some people are claiming that the uk should be tied to youtube as closely as possible, and have a second referendum at the end of the brexit process “— referendum at the end of the brexit process —— tied to europe. what we are seeing is a return to all of the main parties to their big arguments, the one that they think they have stated positions on, and brexit is clearly one for the liberal democrats. i am clearly one for the liberal democrats. iam in clearly one for the liberal democrats. i am in a care home in cheadle in a seat which is a conservative and liberal democrat marginal seat. the liberal democrats are keen to win it back from the conservatives, pre

chris mastenjoins us. —— mason.andably will be a target of that? absolutely. that has happened and we saw that, in terms of the response sadiq khan received. the prime minister was there yesterday pretty fleetingly and she has been criticised for that. there are still images often meeting firefighters and charity workers, but she didn't meet any local people, those who are bereaved or who have been left homeless. there has been criticism from some conservatives and the public about her response. my understanding is they did consider the prime minister doing some sort of walkabout, but they decided it would it a distraction, given the amount of security she would have with her and they didn't want to get in the way. seeing the end they decided against it what was quite striking was the prime minister plus a response on the ground to that of jeremy corbyn, who was there about one hour later and did ingall amongst people. we saw him hugging one woman who was desperately trying to find someone. —— mingling. the governme

let's go to our political correspondent chris mason. for action to be taken quickly, an investigation is under way. what sense is there about what politicians can and should do? politicians at westminster are acutely aware of the scale of what has happened and that there is a huge number of questions coming their way, not just huge number of questions coming their way, notjust in the direction of national politicians but local ones as well. i think there is also an awareness that this is a new and an awareness that this is a new and a fragile government that is having to respond to tragedy in a way that is seen to be financially astute and logistically and, yes, emotionally. the government yesterday announced a full independent public inquiry led bya full independent public inquiry led by a judge, we don't yet know who that will be or the exact terms of reference or timescale. certainly there is a demand from some that while there is a recognition that public inquiries can be very useful in establishing exactly where there may have been
