but because they are seen as a their door, but because they are seen as a litmus test of how far mrs maying to change, is willing to a cce pt may is willing to change, is willing to accept that she has suffered a significant reverse. she has two rethink how she approaches her attitude to colleagues, to the party, to the electorate and her style. so tory mps, i understand, are in effect issuing her with an ultimatum, which is sack nick timothy and fiona hill this weekend. if you do not learn there will be a leadership challenge launched on monday at the meeting of conservative backbenchers. to do that you would need the signatures or support of 48 mps. i understand they are confident they can get that suchis they are confident they can get that such is the disquiet and unhappiness in the party and the determination that there has to be change. they are willing to take the huge step of, not just are willing to take the huge step of, notjust beginning a leadership contest, but beginning one before the brexit talks. in other words, to fast track mrs may's potential demise. this is a hugely,

mrs may refused to direct debate.he decision to pull out of the paris climate accord where he justified it by saying he had been elected to represent the citizens of pittsburgh and not paris. the city's hit back, saying pittsburgh's stood with the world. our north america correspondent has been to pittsburgh to gauge reaction. pittsburgh, pennsylvania, twinned by the president with paris, maybe for its alliterative allure. this morning it was not hard to find citizens delighted by the decision.” was not hard to find citizens delighted by the decision. i think the president is trying to do everything he can which is good for the american people and that is what i like. it is about time that people put america first. he is doing it and showing up all of these agreements that are not fair for the united states when it is time they renegotiated and become fair. united states when it is time they renegotiated and become fainm united states when it is time they renegotiated and become fair. it was known as steel city, a man

can we see an different mrs may?hink there is a view that the tories may brand if —— the mrs may brand is damaged for the electorate. she has to find a way to engage with senior colleagues and bring them in. not operate within such a tight knit circle if she is to shore up her authority within the parliamentary party. so what we have seen parliamentary party. so what we have seen this lunchtime is two things. 0ne, seen this lunchtime is two things. one, i seen this lunchtime is two things. 0ne, ithink, seen this lunchtime is two things. one, i think, a sense ofjust how fragile mrs may's position is that she has had to discard these advisers have been with her through thick and thin and her determination to survive, that she is willing to get rid of them. it is so interesting. how much of it is symbolic, if you like? different leaders have different ways of leading, that's true in politics, that's two in business. it is true across the world. and it's as if there are people within the party who are saying, i've never

i am sure that the europeans preferred to deal with a conciliatory, but if it is mrs may, who is verys better than a bad deal, they will go with it, but they are united. and that is the thought of theresa may, she tried to divide, but her attitude is all over the campaign has made the europeans say, we are united. marc your confidence in the european union is admirable, and is as consistent as your disparagement of this jingoistic, consistent as your disparagement of thisjingoistic, as you call it, country that i call home. it seems to me that you are somewhat pollyanna—ish, if i can use that american phrase, warning about george soros and the vociferous pressures there will be in the european union over unresolved questions... all these and resolve questions... all these and resolve questions will be put aside, because the british has made us united. as merkel said, take our destiny into our hands. my experience travelling in europe is that britain enjoy is an enormous amount of in europe is that britain enjoy is an enormous amount of goodwill in france, germany, italy and elsewhere.

senior tories have demanded mrs may's joint chiefs of staff fiona hill and nick timothy are removed this weekend. they're being blamed forfailures in the election campaign. it comes as theresa may prepares for discussions with northern ireland's democratic unionist party to provide the extra support the conservatives need in the house of commons to continue governing. here's our political correspondent, eleanor garnier. her report contains flash photography. waiting but waiting for what? theresa may might still hold the key is the number ten but is deprived of a commons majority and fighting to save her own job. deprived of a commons majority and fighting to save her ownjob. no chance then to govern alone. it's the democratic unionist party the tories have been forced to turn to do help prop them and theresa may up. buta do help prop them and theresa may up. but a deal with the dup, a party opposed to same—sex marriage and anti—abortion, is not without controversy. i come from a liberal wing of the conservative party and luckily we have a parliament now that would count in terms of legis

when mrs may became leader she prom ptly when mrs may became leader she promptly sacked michael govetary and he has not been in government since. it is a significant move and helps you up her position amongst mps, particularly leave mps. and also in defra there will be important work to do around brexit because things like the common agricultural policy, disentangling britain from those policies of the eu will be significant work and she may feel michael gove is the right man for thejob but michael gove is the right man for the job but the michael gove is the right man for thejob but the big picture is this isa thejob but the big picture is this is a continuity candidate. this is a limited shuffle and tells you about the position mrs may is in and follows people like borisjohnson staying in place and tonight we have heard from the foreign secretary and here is what he has to say. of course people are wondering what will happen now there is a hung parliament, there is no absolute majority. theresa may got by far the biggest mandate anybody has got for my party for decades. she leaves

the scottish conservatives leader is one of several to express reservations about mrs may doing a deal with the dup. she has made herself a hostage to the dup which means she cannot be an independent mediator between the two sides. labour took the conservative seat of kensington in west london — the final constituency declaration, after a third recount. we'll bring you the latest reaction from westminster, belfast and glasgow as questions remain about how long mrs may can remain as prime minister. i'm shaun ley with today's other headlines: police reveal the london bridge terror attackers tried to hire a 7.5 tonne lorry, but their credit cards were declined. petrol bombs and blow torches were found in the van they did use. police also discovered the safe house where they prepared for the attack. detectives want help in tracing three knives used by the attackers and pay tribute to members of the public who put up a fight. people who came out armed with chairs, other items were thrown, bottles, and anything they could get their hands on. and harry kane will be the new england captain as

the financial times claims emmanuel macron is also putting pressure on mrs may to begin talks. tro focuses on the dup and the status of their negotiations with the conservatives. the paper says deals with the party could lead to further problems for theresa may's government. diane abbott is on the front page of the guardian. the paper has an exclusive interview with her there. although that's the daily mail! the daily mail leads with claims that medical assistance are treating patients as part of an nhs cost—cutting measure leaving many at risk. we are going to start with the telegraph. may says she's sticking to her brexit blueprint. she's in france, but she's talking toa she's in france, but she's talking to a serious europhile fan of the european union, yet she's making it clear she'll stick to what people are describing as a hard brexit. yes, it's worth noting in her meeting with macron today that it was quite a friendly handshake. unlike the one he had with mr trump! there do seem to be warmer relations. there's been a lot of speculation since the results about what it mean

mrs may never looked like stumbling at the start.t her, britain's most trusted leader — most of all by older voters. we will deliver for britain. but a new social care policy left thousands, including natural conservative supporters, fearing their family homes might go to pay care bills after they had gone. that forced a u—turn — a u—turn she unconvincingly tried to deny. nothing has changed. nothing has changed! we are offering a long—term solution for the sustainability of social care for the future. but no one really believed it. are you embarrassed by this u—turn, prime minister? tory poll ratings suffered. furious tories blamed her advisers, and theresa may's way of relying on them, fiona hill and nick timoney, who is said to have come up with the vote loser of a planned. will he last? through the campaign, tv and radio appearances were dominated by a handful of trusted administers. one in particular, who was sent to debate when her boss said no. theresa may may not be here, but i hope to make a good fist of it. today, the focus

i think it tells us team may fear their remorseless attacks on mr corbyn may have actually backfired. people are now believed to have been killed in yesterday's bomb attacks in kabul, one of the highest—ever death tolls in the country since the taliban were overthrown in 2001. more than 400 people were injured. a suicide bomber, driving a truck filled with what police believe was around 1,500 kilograms of explosives, blew himself up close to the german embassy. willie walsh, the chief executive of british airway‘s parent company, iag, has defended the airline's handling of the computer failure which caused chaos for passengers worldwide. in his first television incident since the bank holiday incident he praised the way the crisis was handled. we know the cause of the problem. it was not an it failure, it was a problem caused by the failure of electrical power to our it systems. we understand what happened, we are still investigating why it happened, and that investigation will take some time. richard westcott, our transport correspondent, is with me. what have we learnt from this int

we need mrs may to remain. we need mrs may to deliver on brexit.n the titanic sinks not and when your vote share goes up. some people used the word catastrophe? calm and deliberation is what we need and that leads us to the conclusion that mrs may is the right... we have a selection of voters here. problem with sound you heard what rhys mogg said. her campaign was about strong leadership, but in my view, what should have happened is to speak about the economy because in the la st two about the economy because in the last two elections when mr cameron was prime minister, that's what won the vote. i want to ask you is mrs may the right lady to use jacob rhys mogg's word for thejob may the right lady to use jacob rhys mogg's word for the job right now? that's what we've got and unfortunately that's got to remain. who else wants to say something about that? alex. i would like to ask a question if i could. i was really encouraged as a youth worker. i work really encouraged as a youth worker. iwork in really encouraged as a youth worker. i work in luton

also, i felt it was significant the way that mrs may has sought to cast this not just way that mrs mayjust as an attack on worshippers in finsbury park, but all of us. an attack against the bonds that bind us together, in terms of that belief in mutual tolerance, respect, freedom of expression, freedom of religion. the last thing i thought striking was the way she went out of her way to praise london and londoners. this extraordinary city of extraordinary people. that clearly notjust a reference to recent terrorist attacks, but also of course to the g re nfell tower attacks, but also of course to the grenfell tower tragedy. and real anger here on the street in north london, not surprisingly. i suppose part of the job of senior politicians is to try and calm like that. we had not only the prime minister year at the moment but we have the mayor of london and the labour leaderjeremy corbyn. he is the local mp as well. there is a need for political leaders. notjust to come forward with suggestions to improve security or counter—terrorism. there is also an imperative on them to catch the na

how much pressure do you think mrs may is under over this issue of climate change? ly criticised by all of the opposition parties. jeremy corbyn launching his strongest attack yet, i think, on theresa may. you heard about a dereliction of duty, her subservience, he said, in the face of this. the lib dems saying, this is an example where these metal relationship should be put into action, if we are so close to the united states, if we have the air of donald trump, we should be able to put pressure on him when it matters. ed davies, the liberal democrat energy ‘s bugs person saying, britain is a world leader on climate change. actually, donald trump's actions undermine it is policy. the greens called theresa may week. there is a risk she comes across isolated on this. although, she will say she has taken a different approach. i suppose that is the job of labour and the liberal democrats to oppose, but what do you think this episode says about mrs may's relationship with the american administration? the opposition parties are making this very much about a question of le

i imagine they will take the view, it's probably not going to be mrs may.e brexiteers. they are desperate for the talks to start, because their realfear is for the talks to start, because their real fear is that this election result provides a key to unlock brexit and to claw back brexit. and it is certainly true that the remainers within the tour party, those who are not at all happy about the sort of deal, no deal, even, that mrs may was looking for, want to re—enter the debate about staying inside the single market and taking off the table the idea of no deal, which is viewed as catastrophic. so, there is going to bea catastrophic. so, there is going to be a tussle over brexit, although the talks will still begin, at least in name, on monday. thank you very much — for now! as we've been hearing, the leader of the scottish conservatives, ruth davidson, has raised concerns about a deal with the democratic unionists. she has asked the prime minister for assurances that gay rights won't be eroded by the dup, which opposes same sex marriage. our correspondent

be done but the question for mrs may or for any politician is what can you do?re questions about what police knew, what security services new but what can you do? we know young men sent to prison are quite often coming out radicalised when they did not go in radicalised when they did not go in radicalised so increasing jail terms does not seem like quite a good idea... before anybody climbs all over that,, that does not mean that they should not be sent to prison. no, of course not, but there are things like whether we go back to control orders, which we had now we have the prevention of. the exclusion orders on people who have been abroad and come back. what the public will probably find unsettling is that in this attack and the attack in manchester two weeks ago, people claimed to have reported their neighbours all the perpetrators. we do not know. —— or. i think there has to be a bit of a pr exercise to save we are following these but look at the scale. the police, the authorities, contrary to what american media believe happens in our country, we do go along

the reshuffle shows damian green become first secretary of state, effectively mrs may's number two. uss has been demoted, taking a job in the treasury. other key figures stay where they are including jeremy hunt in health and liam fox in international trade. mrs mabel hoped the reshuffle, most notable for its lack of changes, will help her reach out to tory mps. she said last night she intends to stay in herjob. i said during the campaign that if re—elected i would intend to serve a full term. what i am doing now is getting on with the immediatejob am doing now is getting on with the immediate job and i am doing now is getting on with the immediatejob and i think am doing now is getting on with the immediate job and i think that is what is important. i think that is what is important. i think that is what the public would expect. they wa nt to what the public would expect. they want to see government providing that certainty and stability. but life without a majority in the house of commons will be very different. the pm may have to some of her policy plans. today she will meet with

this afternoon, mrs may will meet conservative mps to explain herself. very good sign of theresa may recognising the importance of cohesion in the party, the importance of us all working together, if we are going to make government work in these rather difficult circumstances. i don't think there's any appetite in the country for a new general election andl country for a new general election and i don't think there is any demand amongst my colleagues for a leadership election either. theresa may wanted to return here with a majority that proved she could be the dominating political figure of her age. instead, she is diminished, bruised and weakened. she called the election with the explicit intention of turbo—charging her authority. instead, it is acting as a wheel clamp on her future. instead, it is acting as a wheel clamp on herfuture. and so, after a turbulent few years, labour arab league. we are just going to make sure we hold their feet to the fire. so where we can, for example, on the queen's speech, we will be trying to ensure we hold them to acco

downing street said in private, mrs may was clear with the president last night when she spoke to himis decision. they say the only reason she didn‘t sign this letter was because it was drawn up before she had a chance to talk to the president. this is also about brexit, because the claim of critics is that mrs may has deliberately prioritised relations with donald trump above those with our closest allies in europe, preparing for the post—brexit world. their fear is that other eu countries, seeing this, will be even less likely to cut us a decent deal. they note mrs merkel‘s remarked at the weekend, saying that europe could no longer rely on britain and america. norman, thanks. our top story this lunchtime: six days before the election the conservative candidate for south thanet is charged with overspending in the 2015 general election campaign. coming up, cardiff says it will be the real winner this weekend as it hosts the champions league final. coming up in sport at 1.30, tomorrow‘s champions league final at cardiff‘s principality stadium will be as safe as possible forfans accord

as far as mrs may and arlene foster are concerned, we will talk a bit more about that in a second. e as environment secretary. it's just under a year since mrs may sacked the formerjustice secretary — and her rival for the conservative leadership — from the cabinet. mr gove has referred to himself as a ‘shy green', who believes in conservation. but campaigners say that's at odds with his record of opposing measures to combat climate change, as our environment analyst roger harrabin explains. the highlands of scotland, michael gove has sung their praises. he has called himself a shy green. conservatives, he said, tend instinctively towards conservation. that instinct was tested in his own constituency. he said the eu's strict laws protecting places like this had forced up the cost of housing, so those laws should be relaxed. environmentalists oppose his appointment. this is a really concerning appointment for young people. michael gove tried to take climate change out of the national curriculum for schools. we know young people are really concerned about the environment. if this is a

and mrs may saying, "enough is enough" "enough is enough".n the last few months, it is a very unusual sight for us to see armed officers on our streets. coming here tonight, there we re streets. coming here tonight, there were police officers all over the place. i came over westminster bridge. police vans. london bridge still cordoned off. and to see police officers dressed like this is an alarming as well as reassuring but the question is, you cannot have that all the time. you can do it for a little while. after manchester, it ramped up, and after westminster and obviously people can put measures in place for security around buildings but we do not have enough people to do this at this level and we would not want to at all. the guardian talks about how the investigation is focusing on whether these three men shot dead, what kind of support they may have had 7 shot dead, what kind of support they may have had? that is the thing that is becoming unfortunately familiar, investigators rushing to find out if they were part of a network, mounting

just very briefly, how long do you give mrs may bosna government?”ackbenchers, theirfrontbenchers realise their own prospects of becoming prime minister and that is the sad thing about it, that at the moment the conservative party is not focused on the needs of the country, they are focused on who will succeed theresa may. barry gardner, deidre brock and tom brake, think very much indeed. it may be a queen's speech stripped of many of the main non—brexit items, but we are facing two extraordinarily turbulent years in parliament, because those brexit bills will be absolutely central, i suspect, to mrs may's survival. studio: norman, the guevara much. much more analysis of the queen's speech ahead, and we want your thoughts on the prospect, potentially, of the holiday makers being banned from all—inclusive holidays because of too many bogus claims over food poisoning. holidays because of too many bogus claims overfood poisoning. what holidays because of too many bogus claims over food poisoning. what do you think about that, the usual ways of getting i

but the conservative chancellor mrs may sacked believes the prime minister can't survive. eresa may is a dead woman walking, it is just how long will she remain on death row. all this comes as mrs may faces the challenge of minority government and brexit talks starting in days. we'll have the very latest as mps prepare to head back to westminster. also ahead: exit polls show france's president macron on course for a majority in parliament — creating a new party with many mps who've never before been in politics. and in sport, rafa nadal makes it into double figures with his tenth french open title. hello and welcome to world news today. the british prime minister theresa may says she is getting on with delivering the job following the conservative party losing their majority. mrs may has retained most of her ministers but she appointed an influential adversary, michael gove. with brexit talks starting in a week's time, the prime instead has faced criticism after losing her majority. she's putting on a brave face but theresa may knows she has thrown her party into turmoil. t

polls, which are shelling a narrowing of the gap between labour and the tories, are proved correct, mrs may the conservative after tomorrow. so there have been people planning... let's see if david's prediction of a 60 seat majority will be proved incorrect. i think there's all to play for, but we will know more on friday. just a point i really like, and it's important that we labour it. we need continuity. it's what business likes. thinking and planning what they are going to do, andl planning what they are going to do, and i think david davis is a top bloke, and if you are going to have somebody that takes us through very tricky situations, particularly if the prime minister is a little prickly without being rude, he has got a very calm head on very broad and old shoulders, and he would do a greatjob. and old shoulders, and he would do a great job. but it's the type of continuity we need, which is a much more pragmatic tory government, if for instance the tories are to remain in power. it's got to be more pragmatic, open and willing to engage, not this horrendous rhetoric we've seen in re

senior conservatives had warned it was then or mrs may.lleague claimed they created a toxic atmosphere in number ten. they are brilliant street fighters and terrible political leaders, because at the heart of government you need grey—haired people who have been around the block to say, you can't do that. it was too tightly controlled, and what we saw through the manifesto, for example, it landed really badly on the doorstep and the mps didn't know even what would go in it. mr timothy has accepted responsibility for his role in the election result, but with austerity and brexit, he said britain was a divided country and that the prime minister was the one political leader who understands this division and who has been working to address it. he said that the conservative election campaign, however, fail to get this into reza's positive plan across. —— theresa may's positive plan. there was evidence that the two advisers had undue evidence, and some of the reports they woods to would suggest... today's resignations will bring breathing space,

as such, being used in negotiations means that if there is no deal and mrs may has said there might be, what happens to us? ok, maria. i appreciate you coming in. i think we will hear a little bit more from theresa may. she has spoken with reporters in brussels about the ongoing negotiations and we can hear what she said. last night i was pleased to be able to set out what is a fair

for others, a case of needs must, but they do agree that after mrs may's campaign, they need to thinknext. what do you want in a leader? a good orator, someone with charisma, someone who excites young people. it's so important. and maybe she lacked that. who would you have instead? i mean, i've gone through the options in my head and i keep coming back to borisjohnsonjust because even if you hate him, he's quite persuasive and we need someone to counteractjeremy corbyn. they say the manifesto went down badly when they were going door—to—door here in bristol north west, and that the conservatives need to think about principles, not personalities. in the meantime, let's do some real soul—searching. if don't have an ideology, they told me they want mrs may to involve the grassroots more, asjeremy corbyn has in his party. i want more control from members at bristol level, national level, and i think that i want a leader that will listen to us and act. do you feel you've not been listened to? 0h! sorry, but we haven't been. it is still very raw. these are not conversations tories here were

if you recall, what mrs may said, they were not discussing things individually.was a serious show of good faith by david davis on monday when he said look, i'm happy to live trade until later but let's agree the citizen situation and also the budget. this is made over their loved the task saying he could still say no, no, you can't. the fact remains is a game, she is never i consider to be absolutely the right concession. there is no way the uk economy will buzz again. unless we have properly supported by people that contribute to the economy and there is no argument at all but the immigration policy of this country, and i'm a brexiteer, is far better with immigration, controlled immigration. so to say that the 3 million people can stay here, spot the money. so to say that the 3 million people can stay here, spot the moneylj guess surprised she has done that now? i think she is in a position of great weakness, if i may say so. this is the second concession, no more. unfortunately we're in a position where everyone thinks the government ‘s back is against the wall

grim—faced mrs may. rouble is once you have revolutionary acts like brexit it creates a swing of the pendulum in another direction. in this case it centred mainly on young people, who i suspect may not have been in favour of brexit but didn‘t vote in the referendum, expressing their unhappiness by being attracted to other options, some of which i feel are incoherent but nevertheless attractive. are the knives out for mrs may? not for me. seeing that the queen‘s government must be carried on and no party other than the conservative party ca pa ble party other than the conservative party capable of acting in government, the idea that it would anybody the national interest to get rid or change the prime minister is far—fetched. paddy ashdown, the situation has not quite worked out, has it? no but we have increased labour seats by 50%. name another leader who has done that. we are growing in numbers and also in weight and ability. you got 30 seats, that‘s it? in weight and ability. you got 30 seats, that's it

are you stepping down, mrs may? ules showed few clues to theresa may's retreat. boris, does your party need a new leader? should it be you? by morning, words in the wind of ministers who might think of their own manoeuvres. because what was surprise at the start... and what we're saying is the conservatives are the largest party. note that they don't have an overall majority at this stage. ..gradually, seat after seat, was glorious shock for labour. loss after loss for the conservatives. no obvious pattern or geography to start with. but a hung parliament. # we'll keep the red flag flying here...# with no overall winner becoming clear. we cannot see any way at all that the conservatives can get to the 326 mark and we think it's pretty clear that there is going to be a hung parliament. was he grabbing a victory of sorts? well, over the sceptics in his party... politics isn't going back into the box where it was before. what had seemed her unassailable lead at the startjust melted away. personal as well as political lo

mr speaker elect, on behalf of the whole house, may i congratulate you on your re—election. omebody got a landslide! mr speaker, it is customary on these occasions to congratulate the returning prime minister and i absolutely do so and i congratulate her on returning and i'm sure she will agree with me that democracy is a wondrous thing and can throw up some very unexpected results. what is no laughing matter of course are the brexit negotiations which will start, the government insists, on schedule next monday. however, the government department, charged with running them, is currently undergoing major renovations. the secretary of state, david davis, still sits atop the department for exiting the eu, but below him it is all change. the reshuffle has seen the departure of both lord bridges and david jones from ministerial office. they've been replaced by steve baker and baroness joyce whojoined junior minister mr robin walker. with brexit negotiations due to start in less than a week you have to say it makes the departure of these ministers very difficult. even more difficul

the exit from the eu are mrs may's exit has premised? e chosen to put us where we are and i think that'll really focused minds of what it takes to several lectures. my priority is the safety facility of the people of wycombe and every mp will be in the same place. what she have to change to do better? it has been a disastrous result, how should she change? what we need to do is see a gentler tone and a wider team participating in policy. it is not for me to advise the prime minister, what the prime minister is doing is something our government before the public need to see is a broad range of chart and the conservative party including the ability get this helping people out of poverty. the bill was more coverage through today and made a list of donate should. results last night. they certainly weren't expecting to be in the very powerful position they now find themselves in today. we heard earlierfrom themselves in today. we heard earlier from the party leader arlene foster who said they would enter discussions with the conservatives to e

what price to keep mrs may in power? with the the factions of her own party.ot be seen to be impartial if they are locked into a parliamentary deal at westminster with one of the northern ireland parties. oh, and not to mention the europeans. we'd better brace ourselves for non—stop negotiation, but with a government on a wafer thin majority, and, to make matters worse, a brexit department in some disarray. we'll ask if, out of the mess, a red, white and blue brexit consensus can be found. meanwhile, this former conservative minister says its time for his party to change its ways and its name. also tonight, we might have taken out eyes off the troubles of president trump, but his attorney general was testifying today. raise your right hand if you would, please. do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you god?

the daily mirror portrays mrs may as princess leia from the star wars films, paraphrasing the movie'se be with you. the daily mail is one of the few papers not leading with the prime minister's meetings today, choosing instead to lead with the news a man they accuse of being an extremist has won legal aid to help fight his deportation case. so let's begin... both intended to be pretty grim for the prime minister. john major's press secretary, i remember this. the prime minister. john major's press secretary, i rememberthis. i think the daily mirror was trying to be insulting, but as a star wars fan, ithink be insulting, but as a star wars fan, i think they have made two mistakes, carrie fisher died just a few months ago. and princess lela is the heroine! 0ne few months ago. and princess lela is the heroine! one of the most beloved icons, a motion picture history. misfire on their part. higher share of the vote than tony blair ever did. lost the majority.

whatever the future holds for mrs may, she'll face it without her two closest advisors. nick timothy and fiona hill have resigned following pressure from mps. our political correspondent, alex forsyth, reports. past friends, now even closer political allies. without enough mps of her own, theresa may has turned to the democratic unionist party to help herform a government. she signalled her intention yesterday in this address. we will continue to work with our friends and allies in the democratic unionist party in particular. our two parties have enjoyed a strong relationship over many years, and this gives me the confidence to believe that we will be able to work together in the interests of the whole united kingdom. with its ten seats won on thursday, the dup will back theresa may on key votes like the budget. it's not a full coalition, but a looser agreement. the details, scant so far. now they're politically centre—stage, prompting renewed scrutiny of their policies by some here in westminster. pro—brexit, socially conservative, the party's opposition to same—sex mar
