British Prime Minister Theresa May's two most trusted advisers quit

A buoyant Labour leader - appearing in a TV interview, while the Prime Minister was absent - predicted her attempt to cobble together a deal with the DUP would fall apart.

He was a favourite to win the Tory leadership a year ago, but abruptly pulled out of the race when one of his supporters, Michael Gove, launched his own bid.

"What I'm doing now is actually getting on with the immediate job. Yes, of course we are going to reach out, ever since I became leader I had reached out".

Many MPs are angry over what they see as an unnecessary vote that has cost several lawmakers their seats and are demanding she run a more open, collegiate government after her first months of a dictatorial regime.

"Crucially I've brought in talent from across the whole of the Conservative party".

Finally, and perhaps most crucially, May has lost control over Brexit - the very reason she called an election three years early.

The two men are due to meet in Belfast today.

Foreign Secretary Mr Johnson used an article in The Sun to stress his support for the Prime Minister: "To those that say the PM should step down, or that we need another election or even - God help us - a second referendum, I say come off it. Get a grip, everyone".

If you do, you'll remember Liam Fox, Stephen Crabb, Michael Gove, and Andrea Leadsom also had a go, but pulled out of the race early, leaving Ms May as the only contender.

It continued: "The talks so far have been positive".

Despite being called a "dead woman walking" by former United Kingdom chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne, British Prime Minister Theresa May is now hoping to form a government.

"Theresa May is a dead woman walking".

The results put the country at the mercy of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionists

Corbyn told the BBC on Sunday there could be another election this year or early in 2018 after the Thursday vote produced no clear victor.

The move might offer hope to Conservative lawmakers who have criticized her style of government.

The pound slid to its lowest level for almost two months after the vote, but the fall was much less severe than the one sparked by the Brexit vote in June 2016.

May's co-chiefs of staff, Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill, handed in their resignations on Saturday following the disastrous election. There's a possibility of voting it down and we're going to push that all the way.

"I can still be Prime Minister".

"The prime minister has tonight spoken with the DUP to discuss finalising a confidence and supply deal when Parliament returns next week", the statement read. May's Tory party would reach the needed parliamentary majority if it is joined by the small, socially conservative DUP party, whose 290,000 votes and 10 seats in parliament could be a kingmaker in a national parliament representing the U.K.'s 65 million people.

Some Tories, including the party's Scottish leader Ruth Davidson, are unhappy about a deal with the DUP because of the party's opposition to gay marriage and abortion and other policy clashes with the Conservatives.

There are also concerns about the potential impact of the proposed arrangement on Northern Ireland's peace agreement, which relies in part on London being an impartial arbiter between those, such as the DUP, who want the province to remain in the United Kingdom and those who want it to be part of Ireland.

She told Sky News: "Things have changed since then".

Brexit minister David Davis, an obvious contender for the leadership given the upcoming Brexit talks, has declared his support for Ms May despite newspaper reports he had been urged by supporters to challenge Ms May for the party leadership.

Many of those Conservatives now opposing May are those who wanted to remain in the EU.

And she hit out at abuse that the DUP has received from politicians and media across Britain as it holds the balance of power in the House of Commons.
