Interesting to see May using the full "Conservative and Unionist Party" party name in her speech.
 
The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg says Theresa May appeared "grim faced" as she delivered her statement outside Downing Street.
She gave no details how she would work with the DUP, suggesting it would be a loose arrangement rather anything formal.
She may have walked back into Number 10, but back she returned a diminished figure, our correspondent says. She is still prime minister - but for how long?
 
I dream of a leaked taped message from May seeing the Queen , Prince Philip is heard to say " Well you ****ed that up didn't you , you daft bitch " .

I can't see this government lasting this year and the Tories i've spoken to are assuming that a new leader will surely perform better in the next election. What they are forgetting is that Corbyn has lost the fear factor that he had before the campaign and has gained a lot of personal popularity and the Tories will not be able to just demonise him and will have to try and defend their record and policies and not just trot out soundbites.

As Beefy has already alluded to , the Tories will be hard pressed to Criticize Corbyn ref IRA , as they are getting into bed with the DUP !

Also , I hope , and believe , all those youngsters who got out and voted , will now realise how precious a vote is , and what a difference it can make .

Just wish they had done it for the Brexit campaign .

I have said it before. Ruth Davidson will be the next leader so a safe seat needs to be found for her in any upcoming by-election. She is a remainer so she might use her instincts, and using the DUP get a "softer" Brexit if it exists. However, if Merkel gets back in, then the UK has to decide between continuing membership or a complete exit. Angela does not play softball.
 
So all year we have had "Corbyn is a terrorist sympathiser" etc. Then May starts having coalition talks with the DUP. <laugh>

even though you have stated the obvious hypocritical action of the tory party and its members they will still try turning it around into a pc brigade lefty stunt..........<laugh>......illusion driven jesus co ck sucking child eating twats they are <devil>
