nick watt spent the day in westminster examining the shape of theresa may's new government and asking can she govern? for now, theresa may continues as her majesty was the 13th prime minister, but she stumbled back into downing street after running close second by a man who for three decades has been dismissed by all parties as a marginal figure. this government will guide the country through crucial brexit talks...m was almost as if nothing has changed as theresa may pledged to lead another government. ministers told newsnight that her failure to acknowledge in her statement that she had squandered a tory majority was a major mistake. within a few hours there was a new hint of contrition. i'm sorry for all those candidates and ha rd—working contrition. i'm sorry for all those candidates and hard—working party workers who weren't successful. tories are divided over theresa may's future. the eurosceptics are determined to keep the motto of brexit meaning brexit. others believe there should be another contest to avoid another circus. normally hear in the shadow of parliament it would be

nick watt joins us. what is your assessment? i have to say it's oblak isa assessment? a tale of two speakers. firstly, the there was a bold speech, even a historic speech, as the government introduced the most important part of its election manifesto, which is to provide a basis for the uk's live outside the eu. but then there was the kevin speech, a series of important but uncontroversial measures, such as the civil liability bill, to reduce motor insurance premiums, at any disappearance of controversial elements from the pre—election theresa may. so not a word on grammar schools. this shows to scenes of this government: bullishness on brexit, because the government says that more than 82% of the electorate voted for parties that are unequivocally committed to brexit, but then a survival instinct on other areas of domestic policy, the government knows that in those areas, and less each chooses consensus, it would succeed. a lot of this will depend on the dup. when we first hear that the deal was about to be signed? what is going on? said jeffrey donaldson said this ev

nick watt is our political editor and helen thomas is our business editor. t things to discuss. nick, starting with the dup, because this has been going on a few days, we thought we would get it signed today, what is happening? theresa may and arlene foster are inching towards what will be known as a supply and confidence deal with the dup supplying and confidence means supporting the tories on boats and crucially —— votes and crucially on the queen's speech. once that's passed it'll will allow the government to pursue its legislative agenda, but crucially it triggers the terms of the fixed in parliament act and that means the parliament is then locked for five years and let you go through the very contradicted procedure of unlocking that and that means the dup and the tories have what they want. the tories fear another election underjeremy corbyn and the dup don't want the idea of a jeremy corbyn premiership. but what this means is it now looks very unlikely even if there is a deal tomorrow that the original date of the queen's speech will be agreed for next

our political editor, nick watt, is here. what's the criticism?al has the potential to destabilise the northern ireland peace process. the point you are saying, it runs counter to the settlement dating back to the 1970s, known as the barnett formula, designed to ensure fair funding in the four parts of the uk. there have been complaints from scotland and wales. on the funding, the uk government is saying the same called barnett consequence. the process ensuring the fair funding, that is triggered when extra spending is committed in england. it doesn't happen in reverse. they also say there has always been special funding in exceptional circumstances with parts of the uk. they are saying this process has funded city deals in scotland and is now being used to build up infrastructure and the nhs in northern ireland, which obviously the spending fell behind during the troubles that sinn fein will be looking very carefully to make sure there is nothing going forward that favours the dup in dealing with the legacy of those troubles. we also got clarific

let's take stock with our political editor, nick watt.is she even going to make the running for the 18 months of negotiation. what's the thinking? the numbers in parliament have moved in a mildly soft brexit direction. the prime minister is weakened after that general election result. i have to say, i do not detect a love for theresa may in the tory party. cabinet ministers are saying they think she's had a loss of nerve over the election setback and also over her response to the tower fire. one cabinet minister, who's a loyalist said to me, "she can stay, if she wants to." i sense that some grandees are warming up to say to theresa may, have your queen's speech on wednesday, get the vote through next week, then maybe you should think about going, because if you don't, you will face a veil of tears although it is important to say that the leading brexiteers are determined to save her. interestingly, the prime minister is responding to these concerns, i'm told, that intriguingly, she's been distancing herself from her controversial formerj
