On Thursday, May visited the wreckage of an apartment building in west London, where at least 17 people were killed in a fire, and ordered a public inquiry.
Although the Conservatives remained the largest parliamentary bloc the Prime Minister ended up with a minority government which now has to depend on the 10 seats of the Democratic Unionist Party (of Northern Ireland) in order to govern.
"Everyone fears these talks of a hard border", he said, "but I agree it must be a soft border that will ensure the goods from both countries can move easily between them".
Amid reports that May is set to make a "generous offer" on the rights of European Union citizens remaining in Britain, the source said London had been warned against doing so this week, on the grounds that it could drag up the thorny issue before talks had really got going.
"We never put timescales on when we expect a deal to be done and I'm not going to start now".
Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has told UK Prime Minister Theresa May that she is in breach of the Good Friday Agreement over her bid to get an agreement with the DUP to get into government. She was reluctant, for example, to release a white paper on her negotiating position, and in her Lancaster House speech took a strong stand against scrutiny, telling the public: "those who urge us to reveal more. will not be acting in the national interest".
"We want to see any deal between those two parties reflect the wishes of all of the people of Northern Ireland, not just one section of the community".
Meanwhile, it has emerged that next year's Queen's Speech is being ditched by the Government to ease the way in Parliament for new Brexit laws.
'Not the result we wanted', rues Ronaldo, after draw with Mexico
Ronaldo has not spoken to the media in Kazan and his staff said it would not comment about the recent issues involving the player. The result leaves hosts Russian Federation top of Group A, following their 2-0 victory over New Zealand yesterday.
"I want to record my deep-seated concern and, I believe, the deep-seated concern of many, not just in Scotland, but across the United Kingdom right now, at the prospect of some sort of grubby deal between the Tories and the DUP to allow Theresa May to cling to office", she said. "You folks here make enough mess of your own elections, make enough mess of your own governments, make enough mess of your own affairs".
Britain's Brexit minister David Davis said the country wanted to strike "a deal like no other in history" as formal talks on quitting the European Union were set to begin in Brussels.
How Ireland will look post-Brexit could be one of the most sensitive subject of the upcoming talks. "We will split. We hate each other", he said.
While Conservative voters are broadly supportive of May's Brexit agenda, Labour voters polled were critical of both the deal set out and the Prime Minister's ability to achieve her aims.
He said: "They were hard negotiators". This is why a majority government (or a solid coalition) has always been so important in a Parliamentary Democracy: if the leading party can not get a majority vote for their plans for the term, they would ordinarily have to call another election.
But some opposition politicians say that May can no longer stick to her stance for a clean break with the European Union, characterising her election bid as a poor gamble that has left Britain a laughing stock.
Britain already appears to have capitulated to the EU's insistence that talks first focus on three key divorce issues, before moving onto the future EU-UK relationship and a possible trade deal.
