today, the residents brought those frustrations to downing street.nd people were able to say what they wanted to say and we felt that was listened to and listened to carefully. in a statement, the prime minister said. an analysis which chimes with the volunteers who have been working flat out to help victims in the absence of effective official support. they have been completely let down and it is the same people that potentially might have caused this matter not letting them down again. it is tragic and if it wasn't for the community here at the volunteers, i would dread to think what would have happened to those people. the prime minister says she accepts that there are huge frustrations here and she is promising to send more support into the area. it is the sort of help which is desperately needed, but this community could have used it days ago. it is way too late. were you reassured by what theresa may has said to you? not right now. not right now, no, i'm not. with so much pain and frustration here, there are warnings that government help must w

however, downing street knows nothing about this.e bitter downing street we talked to doesn't know anything about it at this stage. the other advisers we have been speaking to seemed to be in the dark as well. so we are waiting for confirmation. i think that is what will happen. it is the most likely outcome. it is the thing theresa may needs, a working majority, albeit a wafer thin one, in the house of commons. but at the moment, we have no confirmation that anything has happened and we certainly don't know the details, meaning what the dup have extracted in return for their support. we know there is likely to bea support. we know there is likely to be a shopping list of things that they will want including money for northern ireland, for their farmers post—brexit. they will want reassu ra nces post—brexit. they will want reassurances on the nature of the border. they are keen that there is not a solid, hard border between north and south. and they have a slightly different view, as you were hearing, about the kind of trading relati

laura keunssberg, bbc news, downing street., the prime minister stood here in downing street and insisted she needed a strong electoral mandate to underpin the brexit negotiations. and in the early stages of the campaign there was no suggestion in surveys of public opinion that the political gamble would not pay off. but the result, when all the votes were counted, was the disappearance overnight of mrs may's majority, and a hung parliament, despite an increase in the conservative share of the vote. 0ur deputy political editor john pienaar takes a closer look at mrs may's gamble and how it failed. who expected to hear or tell this tale today? the story of a leader and her party that felt unstoppable, at times seemed lost. then ended up mocked by enemies, and seen by the rest as having gone from strong and stable to weak and wobbly. theresa may, top of her party, but no longer in charge. there had been a turning point. it was awful. the campaign was going swimmingly well until we launched our own manifesto, and did the triple as

you have seen some changes in personnel in downing street. do you welcomer? i do.sion—making in the cabinet. i and other senior colleagues have made that clear to her. and i think you will also see that she will want to work much more closely with the parliamentary party in the conduct of business and the development policy. can i be clear: you and your collea g u es policy. can i be clear: you and your colleagues have said to the prime minister that you want to return to traditional cabinet government rather than government by advisers, and you want more listening to the 1922 committee of tory backbenchers? i'm not going into private conversations that colleagues have had, but i think she understands that a minority government will require a different approach, a more collective one, and she will want to work with the 1922 committee, with the backbenchers, notjust on the conduct of business but on the development of new policies. so the cabinet is back? we have always had cabinet is back? we have always had cabinet government and had good discussions, but an orato

our correspondent ellie price is in downing street. sure to what extent it is accurate to call this a reshuffle. no, ithink accurate to call this a reshuffle. no, i think you are probably right will stop by my calculations 14 cabinet ministers stayed put. eight positions are yet to be confirmed. the likes of the leader of the house, secretary of state... no, sorry that has gone. secretary of state for culture, for environment. we have seen andrea letson walk into number ten so we we have seen andrea letson walk into number ten so we are we have seen andrea letson walk into number ten so we are wondering whether she has kept herjob in environment. we have also seen whether she will stay on as culture secretary. we have also seen brandon lewis walked in, the policing and fire services minister. had been tipped for great things actually so we are wondering if there is a promotion at all for him, perhaps leader of the house to replace david lidington. we will wait with baited breath come to see if he comes out is to announce what is newjob

she kept her powder dry since leaving downing street, the former director of communications, who broke cover to talk about her own experience of working in downing street and how she felt, that they were very dysfunctional, that they were not very inclusive, that they ruled everything with an iron fist, that there was not much negotiation discussion, and everything was rubberstamped and went through them and that made life pretty umpires and that made life pretty umpires and for herand and that made life pretty umpires and for her and others. -- pretty unpleasant. ultimately they are aids, not the prime minister or deputy prime minister? that's how they were acting. looking at the public, they will say while on you carrying the can, you didn't win the vote on your leadership by the margin needed, you need to be walking away, not sacking your advisers and blaming them. there are rumours theresa may wanted to resign but was persuaded to stay. moving onto the mail on sunday, boris is set to launch bid to bpm as theresa may clings on. his team is circling a wounded leader. that's not a sur

what is different is that downing street really did have to roll back what they said last night.y were very quick to send a representative over to meet with the leaders here saturday. downing street originally saying they'd reached agreement on the principals of an outline agreement. but they had to roll that back saying teresa may called a leader and they were going to finalize talks in the coming week and that's a position the dup has taken saying the talks so far have been good but that they will be having more talks next week. no surprise here. the dup, assall l parties here in northern ireland, if i can make a comparison with president trump, you can say they would be very skilled in the art of the negotiation. they're quite ready to let this play out a little bit. they don't want to give in too quickly. there's a sense as well for them that they went through this. they were ready for this. thought this might have happened in 2015. so they have a game book on a this already. i think we exk expect them to get into the talks. they don't generally do business on a sunday and of

let us return now to our colleaguejane hill in downing street.t those discussions between theresa may and the dup today. recently that intervention from john major, former conservative prime minister expressing considerable concern about imprecations of doing any kind of deal despite the parliamentary mathematics that is fixing the prime minister. let's get her assessment of everything that we have seen today with our correspondent vicki young. worth starting with those comments from sirjohn major. such a key figure in the good friday agreement. his words, his anxiety, really carries weight here?m agreement. his words, his anxiety, really carries weight here? it does. and it's not just really carries weight here? it does. and it's notjust about the power—sharing and what is going on in northern ireland that is bothering him. that's obviously a big part of it. he says he is wary about it. he says the peace process is fragile, you have to take care with it. his concern is that if the conservatives here are in some kind of agreement or deal with the

we saw a group of people arrive here at downing street to meet the prime minister from at downing streetet the prime ministerfrom the at downing street to meet the prime minister from the grenfell tower site. they were a mixture of ages, mixture of cultural backgrounds. there was a young girl amongst them. all of them wore these white ribbons here for their meeting at number ten downing street. this comes as the government has said that it is determined to try to build trust with the community and it follows a difficult few days for the prime minister and for ministers, because they've seen increasing hostility towards them at the grenfell tower site. yesterday evening, theresa may had to be escorted away when things got problematic under police guard. you get the sense that this meeting with people today is an attempt to try to repair that and to try to rectify some of that ill feeling that we've seen building up. of course, there's been a very difficult balance for the government to strike with this. that hostility has increased and people are crying out for answers. the government has

but head to downing street. la, remind us head to downing street.f what is going on there. this is a meeting of senior cabinet ministers, cheered by the prime minister. there will also be a number of senior security officials briefing the politicians about what has happened in the past 24 hours. in the broader context of security, this in two weeks after the manchester the attacks, when they raised the threat level in the uk to its highest level, could be some conversation about whether the threat level goes up. in the mantis and attack they deployed an operation which saw 1000 armed forces personnel deployed to the streets of london to help in the policing efforts here in the capital, so no doubt that conversation is being hand about that. it's probably worth noting that. it's probably worth noting that a decision about threat level 01’ that a decision about threat level or deployment of armed forces isn't for politicians, is based on the advice of jtac, the joint terrorism analysis centre. it is those security experts to make that decision, the po

but there have been personnel changes in downing street, asa personnel changes in downing street, as heresa may is vulnerable so they will want to get this deal nailed down as soon as possible, but for now there is not a deal in place. do you think we will get as far as the queen's speech with theresa may as prime minister? george osborne has just as prime minister? george osborne hasjust said on as prime minister? george osborne has just said on the andrew marr show that she is a dead woman walking, strong words, and we know he has an axe to grind and clearly there is a very fluid situation and theresa may is vulnerable so they will want to get this deal nailed down as soon as possible, but for now there is not a deal in place. do you think we will get as far as the queen's speech with theresa may as prime minister? george osborne has just said on the andrew marr show that she is a dead woman walking, strong words, and we know he has an axe to grind and mean his view is incorrect and there are not people out there who think she should go straightaway. there is certainly deep unease r

we can go to downing street.e prime minister's position. before i tell you that, i must remind you that exactly this time in 2015, we were talking about nigel farage being the vicky pollard of resignations, yeah, but no, but it sounds like we might get another year. enough of my bad metaphor. talking to tories outside, privately, from outside downing street this morning, it seems that theresa may has shored up her position at least for now. so what seemed a couple of hours ago very very uncertain, would she be able to get through the day? it seems now the sentiment of the horror of the prospect of another election seems to have allowed the party has settled its collective nerve for a little while. those conversations have also made clear that many mps will regard her as a caretaker rather than a prime minister who will be in this for the long haul. one point about the fact she would have to rely on some form of assurance from the dup, nor clerics ackley what, but —— not clear exactly what that would be, but this

our assistant political editor norman smith is in downing street.ing there is a deal, how stable will it be? i think in the short term it probably will be quite sta ble term it probably will be quite stable and what we will see today is smiles, handshakes, photo opportunities because both parties have a mutual self interest in reaching some sort of accommodation, they agree on many of the big issues like brexit and virulent opposition tojeremy like brexit and virulent opposition to jeremy corbyn‘s like brexit and virulent opposition tojeremy corbyn‘s labour party. from theresa may's perspective she needs a deal to have a majority in the commons and from the dup‘s point of view, they hope there is going to be money for northern ireland, funds for economic regeneration and reconstruction. the difficulty is down the line. one of the reasons is because this isn't a coalition, it isa because this isn't a coalition, it is a day by day arrangement, it means ministers have to put their arms around dup mps and say, come on, you canjoin us today. it is a much

she returned to downing street and in the last few minutes said this.” to downing street and in the lastsaid this. i am ordering a full public inquiry into this disaster. we need to know what happened. we need to have an explanation of this. we owe that to the families, to the people who have lost loved ones, friends, and the homes in which they lived. the labour leader has also paid a visit. someone has to be held accountable, responsible. we do not want the government to hide this with some hollow platitude. kensington this lunchtime. a community angry and demanding an explanation from politicians. locally and nationally. the truth has got to come out. this isa the truth has got to come out. this is a community that is angry and demanding an explanation from politicians locally and nationally. the construction of the tower block is essentially a series of concrete boxes which are the flats. the fire is not supposed to spread from one flat to another. it is supposed to begin teamed. it was not. it spread and it spread upwards and outside through the cladding. in the next half—hour, mps

i don't think we will see jeremy corbyn in downing street.nt that he wouldn't get into downing street. never in my lifetime did i think that we would see a socialist parliament in number ten. never thought it would happen again. not in my lifetime. it's going to happen. it is worth remembering he did not win this election. he was still 56 seats behind us. but fair play to him. he fought a good campaign. in contrast, theresa may had a dreadful campaign. and when she returned to downing street she couldn't bring herself to mention that she'd actually lost her majority. what the country needs more than ever is certainty. and having secured the largest number of votes and the greatest number of seats in the general election, it is clear that only the conservative and unionist party has the legitimacy and ability to provide that certainty by commanding a majority in the house of commons. now, let's get to work. i was expecting like a lot of conservatives were, a speech in which she acknowledged the election had not gone the way she hoped. good con
