in other words, to fast track mrs may's potential demise. this is a hugely, massive ramping up of the stakes and the pressure now on and mrs may to get rid of these two individuals for them to walk would seem to me to be colossal. what is your sense of the divide in the party? i mean there is clearly a reasonably sized cohort of these people. by the same token, other conservatives who say they are not too happy with the way the election turned out either the two advisers and the personalities around the prime minister, but this isn't the right time for a leadership challenge precisely because of the brexit talks? there many tory mps who, while mrs may will have to go in time, they are adamant that now is not the moment to start a leadership contest because of brexit. against that, there are clearly many tory mps who we re there are clearly many tory mps who were appalled at her initial response to the election when she emerged from downing street and, frankly, did not acknowledge the reverse. certainly did not acknowledge her responsibility

they do not want to see the same old theresa may, the command and control mrs may. they want a different approach. so, of course there will be satisfaction that the two aides have gone, but that, of itself, is only pa rt gone, but that, of itself, is only part of the solution. they want mrs made to demonstrate that she understands the clear disquiet amongst many voters —— mrs may, their disquiet at the manifesto, her approach, her policy and may be at brexit two. they want her to draw breath and think about how she presents herself to the parliamentary party and the electorate more broadly. i would say she has bought herself more time by the departure of mr timothy and fiona hill. has she somehow made her leadership in pregnant? absolutely not. she has simply got herself —— my herself necessary breathing space otherwise there was a possibility, indeed likelihood, that she would have faced a leadership challenge next week. thank you very much for now. if you are justjoining next week. thank you very much for now. if you arejustjoining us, the news in the last

mrs may refused to direct debate. when donald trump announced the 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. i

when mrs may became leader she prom ptly when mrs may became leader she promptly sacked michael gove as justin secretary 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 deca

may, we will ta ke direct message to mrs may, we will take our destiny in our hands, i say, yes, it is our turn after the referendum. interesting, iwill say, yes, it is our turn after the referendum. interesting, i will come to you in a moment, maria, but you'll thought is that, in terms of a lot of major european countries looking at this, they really don't mind who ends up in number ten? they don't mind. because the british ship has sailed. yes, because mrs may has shown that she is not a very good candidate, corbyn has been a better candidate, corbyn has been a better candidate, and it doesn't matter, they will both face the european union completely united in making britain pay — and a hard for quitting the european union. as an example to others, partly that. quitting the european union. as an example to others, partly thatm is even not the question, because today europe is united, macron in france, merkel in germany, to make europe work without britain. it is finished, practically. europe work without britain. it is finished, practicallylj europe work without britain. it is

are you stepping down, mrs may? traditional election rules 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

mrs may never looked like stumbling at the start. it was all about 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

also, i felt it was significant the way that mrs may has sought to cast this not just way that mrs may has sought to cast this notjust 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 impe

a ha rd saying soften your tone, mrs may. a hard brexit is off the agenda. and what happened tonight very clearly is that the hard brexiteers are fighting back and there's been this briefing to the telegraph saying the prime minister is absolutely sticking to her guns and a threat that britain could leave the eu without securing a trade deal. issue trying to keep those backbenchers onside? is that what this is all about? i think she's trying to keep about? i think she's trying to keep a lot of backbenchers and side at the moment. we saw in her shuffle today of ministerial appointments, we saw some remain porters, in, some brexit supporters come in. it's hard to did you switch side shoes on. evenif to did you switch side shoes on. even if she wants to lead us out, it's whether she actually can. may has never looked weaker as prime minister than she does now and it's the cabinet making a lot of decisions. which takes off onto the other story, david on the front page of the times. hammond pushes tories to ditch brexit trade plan. the real brexiteers are going t

i imagine they will take the view, it's probably not going to be mrs may. that said, there is no desire to delay the start of the negotiations amongst the 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 r

can we see an different mrs may? because otherwise think 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

we need mrs may to remain. we need mrs may to deliver on brexit. people have been talking about disasters. disasters are when 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. iw

mrs may is preparing for talks with the democratic unionist party to shore up her government. the chief whip is in belfast for talks. i'm reeta chakrabati. the other headlines: police reveal the london bridge terror attackers tried to hire a seven—and—a—half—tonne lorry but their credit cards were declined. petrol bombs and blow torches were found in the van they did use. police say they had pink ceramic knives tied to their wrists. adam west, the american actor best known as the star series batman has died aged 88. good afternoon from westminster. theresa may's two closest advisors, nick timothy and fiona hill, have resigned, following the conservative party's failure to win a majority in parliament, in the general election. the bbc understands the prime minister had been warned she faced a leadership challenge if she didn't sack them. the government's chief whip, gavin williamson, is now in belfast to hold talks with northern ireland's largest party, the dup, to try to secure support for mrs may's minority government. here's our political correspondent alex forsyth.

mr corbyn said it showed mrs may's "silence and subservience" towards the president. but downing street said she'd expressed her "disappointment," and a source said other major countries had refused to sign. meanwhile, in brussels, the eu and china have beenjoining forces, to send a message to the world that they stood by the paris agreement. from brussels, our correspondent damian grammaticas has sent this report. in the fight against global warming, and just hours after donald trump retreated, enter new leaders — the eu and china. apart from the us, these are the world's other two economic heavyweights, prompted by president trump to act in concert. what we're seeing here with this joint reaction to donald trump's statement is striking, not just for the swiftness, but also for the message it sends, at a time when the us under president trump is withdrawing from global leadership on climate change, instantly the eu and china are stepping in to take up that mantle. it's a striking global change which could herald a decline in us influence. so at this special summit

labour urges mrs may to "make way" for it to form a government. some mps who'd opposed jeremy corbyn‘s leadership have urged colleagues to get behind him. 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. the other headlines this lunchtime. police reveal the london bridge terror attackers tried to hire a seven and a half tonne lorry — but their credit cards were declined. petrol bombs and blow torches were found in the van they did use. police say they had pink ceramic knives tied to their wrists. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. good afternoon from westminster. theresa may's top two downing street aides have resigned in the wake of the conservative election failure. their departure comes after the bbc understands that conservative mps demanded mrs may sack them or face a leadership challenge. nick timothy has issued a statement following his resignation saying: and went on to say: i take responsibility for my part in this election campaign,

this afternoon, mrs may will meet conservative mps to explain herself. i think it is a 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 w

mrs may said: "i'm delighted that gavin barwell accepted the role as my chief of staff. he has been a first class minister and is widely respected. i look forward to working with him." the resignations of nick timothy and fiona hill followed what the bbc understands was a warning from conservative mps that mrs may would face a leadership challenge, if she didn't sack them. more on gavin barwell‘s appointment in a moment, but first our political correspondent alex forsyth. they were at the heart of power, the prime minister's closest advisers for years. but nick timothy and fiona hill were accused of having too much control over policy and tactics, costing theresa may her majority and costing them theirjobs. they're brilliant street fighters and terrible political leaders, because what you need at the heart of government is a few grey—haired people who have been around the block a bit and say "don't do that, you will make mistakes". mistakes acknowledged by nick timothy today. he said britain was divided: today, as the consequences of the campaign sunk in, reflection

i think mrs may wa nts to what is going on? i think mrs may wants to give people a sense of better times ahead. of sunlit uplands beyond brexit. to date, her campaign has been a bit dour, there's been a lot of talk of hard choices, difficult decisions, huge challenges. inevitably people's shoulders tend to slump. it sounds as if we are going to have to spend time in the salt mines. now, mrs may trying to walk on the sunny side of the street. one other thing, almost no mention in her speech ofjeremy corbyn. in previous speeches there has always been a remorseless focus on his lack of leadership qualities, oi’ on his lack of leadership qualities, or his personality or his past political affiliations. today, almost nothing. what does that tell us? ithink almost nothing. what does that tell us? i think it tells us team may fear their remorseless attacks on mr corbyn may have actually backfired. thank you. 90 people are now believed to have been killed in yesterday's bomb attacks in kabul, one of the highest—ever death tolls in

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 a

senior ministers reappointed by mrs may have publicly given her their backing. the party of the french president is on course to secure a landslide victory in parliamentary elections. emmanuel macron's party, which was set up a year ago, received 32% of the vote in the first—round poll. and preliminary results from kosovo's parliamentary election indicate a victory for the centre—right coalition. a former prime minister, who was indicted by serbia for war crimes during the conflict in kosovo, could return to office. and away from politics, let's talk tennis. rafa nadal has won the french open for the 10th time. he beat stan wawrinka in straight sets. nadal, who came back very serious wrist injury last year, did not lose a set in the whole polmont. —— tournament. let's have a look at how the news organisations at ourjesting all of the events over the past few days. the ft says uk prime minister theresa may faces a showdown with conservative mps after losing her parties majority following last week's general election. the paper says mrs may is now looking

but the conservative chancellor mrs may sacked believes the prime minister can't survive. theresa 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 turmo

just very briefly, how long do you give mrs may bosna government?” would have thought by the summer the tories would be into a leadership contest. i think mrs may isjust keeping the seat warm for the next contender. it will depend on how her backbenchers, 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. holida

be done but the question for mrs may or for any politician is what can you do? there are 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

and the real overarching question is not can mrs may survive but what happens 110w can mrs may survive but what happens now to brexit? thank you very much. joining me now is paul goodman, editor at conservative home. this was supposed to be made's monday. it is now manic monday. everything seems to be up in the air. the one thing she has done is reshuffled cabinet. what you read into what she has done so far? when people look at cabinet reshuffle is they usually ask has this moved the party to the left, to the right? what's it mean that brexit? i think all those questions are secondary. what this is about is circling the wagons for theresa may's survival. she has in one of the oldest friends, damian green, to be in fx deputy prime minister, to work with a small team to shore her up. otherwise the changes are pretty minimal barone, otherwise the changes are pretty minimal bar one, which is bringing back michael gove, the man with whom she quarrelled like cat and dog in government. someone who she was joking and jesting about only last week. she has brought him back because she needs him

effectively mrs may's number two. the former secretary liz truss has been demoted, taking a lower ranking job in the treasury. other key figures as they when iraq —— they are, including jeremy hunt and liam fox. mrs may will hope the reshuffle, most notable for its lack of changes, will help every gel to tory mp. she said last night she intends to stay in herjob. tory mp. she said last night she intends to stay in herjobli tory mp. she said last night she intends to stay in herjob. i said during the election campaign that if re—elected, i would intend to serve a full—time. what i am doing now is actually getting on with the immediatejob. actually getting on with the immediate job. —— actually. actually getting on with the immediatejob. —— actually. i think thatis immediatejob. —— actually. i think that is what the public would expect. they want to see government providing that certainty and stability. but life without a majority the house of commons will be very different. the pm may have to wait g

downing street said in private, mrs may was clear with the president last night when she spoke to him on the phone. she underlined her complete support for the paris accords and opposition to his 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

as such, being used in negotiations means that if there is no deal and mrs may has said there might be no deal, 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

senior conservatives had warned it was then or mrs may. one former colleague 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 br

right now, mrs may is meeting conservative mps to explain herself... i think it is a very good sign of theresa may recognising the importance of cohesion in the party and the importance of us all working together, if we are to make the government work in difficult circumstances. i do not think there is uptight in the country for another general election or is there any demand among my colleagues for a leadership election either. theresa may wanted to return here with a majority that proved she can be a poll dominating political figure of her age. now she is diminished, bruised and we can. she called the election with the explicit intention of tebay chancy —— turbo—charging her authority, now it is a wheel clamp on her future. her authority, now it is a wheel clamp on herfuture. after a turbulent few years, labour are upbeat. we will make sure that we hold their feet to the fire. where we can, on the queen ‘s speech, we will try to ensure that we hold them to account, there may be things we disagree with them on, we will put out amendments and d

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.

people were thinking all their votes would go straight to the conservatives to help mrs may, but looking at the columns, that hasn't happened. labour have also benefited from the

for others, a case of needs must, but they do agree that after mrs may's campaign, they need to think about who comes next. 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 convers

if you recall, what mrs may said, they were not discussing things individually. i thought it 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

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—s

and this was the first sign that mrs may has been forced to reach out. her old enemy, michael gove, who she sacked, returns to the cabinet as environment secretary. and he'll be sitting alongside borisjohnson. the two men spectacularly fell out over the tory leadership contest last year. today, the foreign secretary denied he was plotting another challenge for the top job. just a little wave for michael gove, best friends? jeremy corbyn did not win this election. it is absolutely right that she should go ahead, form a government and deliver on the priorities of the people. i am going to be backing her, absolutely everybody i'm talking to is going to be backing her, as well. he has obviously not spoken to this former colleague. theresa may is a dead woman walking. it isjust how long she will remain on death row. what's your guess? and i think we will know very shortly. in other words, we could easily get to the middle of next week and it all collapses for her. the labour leader says theresa may's position is vulnerable and he is ready for another general
