10/06/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Louise

Just a day after clinging to power, Theresa May faces a backlash

The conservative leader is forming a minority government

with the support of the Democratic Unionist Party,

but there are questions from some of her own MPs over how long she can

The deal with the DUP is also under scrutiny.

The leader of the Scottish Conservatives, Ruth Davidson,

says she's raised concerns with the Prime Minister

about the unionists' opposition to gay rights.

Labour has ended its election campaign on a high.

Jeremy Corbyn's party took Kensington from the Conservatives

This morning we'll be live at Downing Street with the latest.

And we'll be hearing how people across the UK have been reacting

Yes, the butty van is here at the agricultural show in Warwickshire

and we have emptied out the Breakfast toybox, even the couch

here, we will speak with locals to find out what they think has

happened and what happens next. Good morning, it's

Saturday 10th June. We're on College Green

in Westminster for a special programme as we look at what happens

next after the 2017 general election Also ahead: Police reveal

that the London Bridge attackers had tried to get hold of a seven ton

lorry, and that petrol-bombs were found in the van

they did eventually hire. Detectives are now appealing

for information about the knives In sport: A proud moment

for England's Harry Kane. The striker will captain his country

in tonight's World Cup qualifier against Scotland in Glasgow,

while the Scot's striker Leigh Griffiths has been

passed fit to play. Good morning. It is an OK start to

the day in Sussex but I am afraid not everywhere. I have all of the

detail on the weather in a couple of minutes.

The Prime Minister is facing pressure this morning as she moves

to form a government with the help of the Democratic Unionist Party.

Her failure to secure an outright majority has led to questions

from some corners of the Conservative Party over

Emma Vardey has this report on the fallout from the general

16,000... A valuable result in the UK's richest constituency. Almost 24

hours after the polls closed it took a third recount in Kensington to

finally reveal Labour had taken the seat from the Tories for the first

time ever by just 20 votes. It means the Conservatives and the campaign

with 318 seats to Labour's 262, Labour are up 30. The SNP on 35, the

Lib Dems on 12, Plaid Cymru on four and the Greens with one. Now,

Theresa May is reaching out to the Democratic Unionist Party in

Northern Ireland for support. With the ten DUP MPs the Conservatives

will have a working majority in the House of Commons. But there are

early signs that for some this will be an uncomfortable alliance. The

DUP is anti abortion and Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK

where same-sex marriage is not legal. Scottish conservative leader

Ruth Davidson last night sought assurances that any deal with the

DUP must not affect gay rights across the UK. Meanwhile, concerns

remain over whether the Prime Minister can hold on. One senior

Tory has told the BBC it she has to go. And this was the Transport

Secretary Chris Grayling on the BBC's Question Time. She needs to

stay as Prime Minister for the future. What was once sold as a

strong and stable now feels ever shaky.

For the latest, let's speak to our political correspondent,

Eleanor Garnier, who is at Downing Street this morning.

Theresa May is in Number Ten this morning. There was a lot of taking

yesterday. That is right. This election hasn't delivered Theresa

May the bigger majority. It has left her fighting for her prime

ministerial career. There are questions and lots of angry

conservative MPs about what many saw as a disastrous campaign, and that's

why people are asking just how long Theresa May can hang on at Number

Ten. Heidi Allen has said she thinks Theresa May has six months at best.

Privately other MPs and a minister said they can't see her staying on.

If she does stay on there are pressures on her already to change

her style leadership. Many say the party wants to be more involved in

policy decisions and warning against presidential style of politics.

Ultimately her gamble to call the election in the first place may not

just have cost her the Conservative Party the majority, it could have

also cost her the job at Number Ten. You Rachid tell us what it means for

the DUP. There is a learning curve about the issues surrounding it.

Theresa May needs to get a deal done with the DUP Pronto. The agenda will

be happening in a few days, one week on Monday, so she needs to get the

deal done before then. We imagine it will be more of a day by day thing

rather than a formal coalition or a formal agreement. There have been

questions about what the DUP stands for. The conservative leader in

Scotland, Ruth Davidson, who helped the party takes 13 seats, an

increase of 12 seats, she is gay, she is due to marry her female

partner shortly, and she has pressured Theresa May and said that

she thinks there are more important things than the party, including the

country and rights for lesbian, gay and transsexual people. She has said

she has had reassurance from Theresa May that LGBT writes will not be

changed when it comes to a deal with the DUP who of course oppose

same-sex marriage and they are the only part of the UK, well, Northern

Ireland is the only part of the UK where there is - where same-sex

marriage isn't legal. If she is to get the deal done it is going to be

tricky. We will speak to you later in the programme. Thank you. And we

will speak with the former director of communications, Katy Perry, with

the significance being she resigned when the snap election was called

and she has a great deal of insight into Theresa May and we will speak

with her later on. And we should say at this point the

programme will be dominated with the fallout from the general election

and we will cover all of the things that you need to know. And what it

means for you. One of the London Bridge killers

tried to hire a seven and a half-tonne truck

on the morning of the attack. Police have revealed Khuram Butt's

payment failed to go through, so he hired a white

van from B instead. With his fellow attackers,

Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba he ran down and killed three

people on London Bridge. Here's our home affairs

correspondent Daniel Sandford. This was the weapon found

still strapped to Khuram Butt's body He and his fellow attackers used

three identical 12 inch pink knives made of ceramic to

murder five people. Counterterrorism detectives want

help on where the Ernesto The men had already killed three

other people on London Bridge Throughout the carnage,

heroic members of the public tried We have stories of people who came

out armed with chairs, other items were thrown,

bottles and anything they could get their hands on,

with a view to stop the attackers coming into pubs or bars but more

importantly to scare them and try to stop others

being attacked. Afterwards in the van police van 13

petrol-bombs made with lighter fluid and cloth cut from tracksuit bottoms

as well as two blow torches. The day started with the ringleader,

Khuram Butt, on police bail, He didn't have enough money,

so instead he hired the white van from B in Romford,

which the men picked up some Then leaving Barking soon

after 7:30pm, they set off At 9:58pm they arrived

at London Bridge, driving across it and then back again before

ploughing into pedestrians By the time they crashed the van

at 10:07pm they fatally They then used the knives

to kill five more. At 10:16pm, they were

shot dead by police. Detectives now believe

it was in a safe house, a flat above this row

of shops in east London, that the men had prepared

for their attack. 25 people have been arrested

on suspicion of committing hate crimes since the London Bridge

terror attacks according The number of officers

on the streets has been increased to reassure communities who may feel

worried as they gather President Donald Trump

says he is 100% willing to speak under oath about his

conversations with the ex-FBI chief Mr Trump has denied having asked

for Mr Comey's loyalty, or for an inquiry into a former

White House aide to be dropped. Mr Comey says he was fired

because of the investigation into links between the President's

election team and Russia. Those are the other main stories. We

are here focusing on the fallout from Friday's result in the general

election. Let's take a look at how today's

newspapers are reporting There is so much discussion. The

front of the times, -- Times, Theresa May stares into the abyss,

and they are talking about the Ulster Unionists and we will speak

with John Tongue in a couple of moments. From hubris to humiliation,

looking at the moment Theresa May re-entered Number Ten yesterday. The

front of the Mail, Tories turn on to Reza. Reshuffle mayhem. They say

furious Tory MPs threatened to oust Theresa May within six months after

the disastrous election campaign. Mae clings to power according to the

i. The Daily Telegraph, May fights to remain Prime Minister on the

front of the Daily Telegraph newspaper. And a couple of others as

well - coalition of crackpots, that is the Mirror. And the FT, the

Financial Times weekend paper, this is the Financial Times and the

headline isn't about the effect of it, it is that she is clinging to

power as the new front opens in the Brexit battle to start a week on

Monday. He's a professor of politics

at the University of Liverpool and has written a history

of the Democratic Unionist Party. It is gonna come and helpful this

morning. John is struggling with his voice. I am struggling after 24

hours of non-stop talking. Before we get onto the DUP, we've seen the

front pages today, I want a thought on survival for Theresa May. That is

the most pressing issue. Can she survive? What is remarkable about

coverage is the hostility to the idea that Theresa May has shored up

her position. There is a great deal of scepticism amongst pro-

conservative newspapers over whether this deal will work and whether

Theresa May can remain in office. She is not assured of her position

and it is not just a case of the coalition of crackpots. You have the

Times, the Telegraph, sceptical over whether this will work. I am going

to let you have a sip of water while we look at... Theresa May hasn't

done much since the result came through. There was a brief moment

outside Number Ten and then the brief interview as well. Let's hear

what she had to say. What is important is that we bring

government together, we form government in the national interest

at this critical time in our... For our country, because we face the

challenge of the Brexit negotiations. So it is important to

have a government that can take the negotiations through. That is what I

am doing, forming a government. I obviously wanted a different result

last night and I am sorry for all of those colleagues who lost their

seats who didn't deserve to lose and of course I will reflect on what

happened. John, interesting to see the first

speech in Downing Street and then this apology to Tory MPs. What do

you think of the way that has been handled by Theresa May? There is

anger in the Conservative Party. People think, why was the election

called? We never had a clear narrative in the campaign as to why

it was called. It was on the ground, there was opposition to the Brexit

plans, but it looked like the Labour Party triggered the Article 50. They

did not oppose the triggering of Brexit, so the election was seen as

unnecessary, and conservative MPs are angry that colleagues have lost

jobs and won't return to Westminster anytime soon. There is a question of

the unnecessary election and the question of the poor campaign. I

can't remember this campaign as poor as that from a Conservative Party in

living memory. Normally they are very efficient election fighters. Go

back to 2015 with the Lisbon Crosby campaign. It was a very poor

campaign that said very little and they underestimated Jeremy Corbyn.

We go forward in what is called a minority government and the DUP, you

know a lot about this party, are included in that. What will they be

doing - are they propping up the Conservative Party, what will

happen? It is not a formal coalition or a formal pact. It is a supply in

confidence. When it comes to parliamentary votes, the DUP will

back the the Conservatives so the government can carry on but there

will be a pricetag. Theresa May and the Conservatives need the DUP far

more than the DUP near the Conservatives. The DUP are the

unrivalled leaders in Northern Ireland and they, frankly, their

needs are not anything like the needs of the Conservative Party.

Theresa May is friendless at when -- Westminster other than the DUP, so

it is a pact of necessity. Some of the issues well illustrated by Ruth

Davidson's comments. The conservative leader in Scotland has

picked up on some of the DUP's positions on various issues. Some

people might find unpalatable and that has become an issue with gay

rights, to do with abortion, same-sex marriages let's hear what

she had to say. I spoke with the Prime Minister this

morning and I told her there were a things are worried us, one thing is

country and the other is gay and transgender rights. I asked for

reassurance that if any deal was done with the DUP, there would be no

recession of LGBTI writes. We tried to use it the influence that we have

to advance the rights of LGBTI people in Ireland. Northern Ireland

is the only part of the UK were cannot have same-sex mess marriage.

I want categoric assurance from the Prime Minister on that and I

received it. Yes, she received a sure answer is when it comes down to

it, how comfortable with it for Theresa May to be sharing a

platform, either metaphorically or literally, with people who say that

Ruth Davidson... They do not approve of her being married to her partner.

Is untenable situation? It is hugely uncomfortable. All the DUP are

bothered about is that there is no same-sex marriage in Northern

Ireland for what they will not budge on that. Their position will be that

if we go back to direct rule over Northern Ireland which is a direct

risk, then the DUP are insistent that there must not be same-sex

marriage in Northern Ireland. They'd blocked it five times. There has

never been a single VUP member who has supported same-sex marriage in

an assembly vote. They have a veto in northern Ireland. They were a

fundamentalist Protestant party as a vehicle for the church. Once upon a

time they ran campaigns saving people from sodomy. They have

mellowed somewhat that they are not going to move on this issue,

however. And it is not a question of applying a ban, it is about banning

it in Northern Ireland. We will let you go and have a cup of tea.

Hopefully you can recover your voice a little bit. Thank you very much.

It is 18 minutes past six and this is a special breakfast programme.

Our main stories... Theresa May presses on with forming

a new government as she faces calls to step down and concerns over

a deal with the Democratic Unionist And the final result of the 2017

Election was announced late last night - it was a Labour

gain in Kensington. Louise and I are a little nervous.

We have a canopy that it looks a little gloomy. Philip? Good morning

to you all. That far down you will be fine, as

was the case earlier this morning in east Suffolk. However, and we are

heading for a but, aren't we? There is rain in the forecast. There will

be warm sunshine around. Especially today thanks to this area of low

pressure sweeping this cloud in from the Atlantic. It is enough for rain

already across many parts of the British Isles, especially across

parts of Wales and into the north of England and southern parts of

Scotland full of it has been weak in Northern Ireland but thankfully that

rain will move away from Northern Ireland. That means it will just

become more of a player across more of the west of England, through

Wales and, I'm afraid, once you have it in that particular neck of the

woods you will keep it. It will also move through Scotland. Following

behind, dry air that the brightness, perhaps and it will be warm in the

north-east. Good C 27 degrees in Northern Ireland. There is a great

sweep cloud and rain across the north and west of England and Wales.

The driest and finest of the weather down towards the south-east. If you

are thinking about the cricket, well, that will be a neat call. The

longer it goes on it will the -- of the light will become an issue and

the rain eventually does have to come in and you will see that later

on. The light may get you before that. As the rain comes further

south and east it will fizzle somewhat sub I think we will have a

mild night across the far south-east and, elsewhere, it is not cold one

by any means at all because the brief is still coming in from the

south-west. As I say, there is a lot of it. Many above on the charts will

Sunday is going to be a mixture I would think for many of sunny spells

and a lot of cloud. That frontal system struggling to get away.

Patchy at that stage and you will notice closest to the centre of the

low we have many showers, perhaps ganging up at times across Scotland

and Northern Ireland, north and west of England and into Wales as well.

Again, not a particularly cold day, thanks to the influence of that

south-westerly breeze. So the weekend, for the most part, it could

be better for the middle Park of June but it could be a lot worse.

A Conservative lead has turned into a minority Government.

The warnings against a Labour 'coalition of chaos' have been

replaced with accusations of a Conservative 'coalition

So just what went wrong for the Tories?

We looked at the newspapers and all of them are critical of the reason

may. -- Theresa May. the day in Bury North where council

budgets have been slashed and voters What a mess to clear up. The morning

after the night before. This business was set up after bin

collections were cut here. Bury lost half of its funding in 2010. I am

told that people have had enough. Cut public services, cut social care

and end pagers, cuts to education and I think people are looking for

something more positive and knowing that it does not have to be that

way. From pre-election headlines which read court being to core

blimey. The Labour voter here is stunned and chuffed. I don't know

what is going on in! Are you in shock? Yeah. This conservative voter

is stunned and serious. They just thought they were going to wind and

she couldn't be bothered. That was the end of the story. I think you

can forget about Brexit. Brexit. The word they thought they would

dominate all of the decisions made a day earlier. In the end, another

word helped to turn this seat from blue to red. Austerities. People

have said enough is enough. Economics is about humanity as well

as balancing the books. There were other reasons as well. We went in

search of pub with them. Jeremy Corbyn became the face of the

people. He stepped up and was put in the limelight more than Theresa May.

In the Bluebell Inn, Conservative had their own series. The cuts to

the Winter fuel allowance, the cut to the triple lock. If she had not

said all about this car that she was going to do, she would have been

fine. She shot herself in the foot, as far as I'm concerned. They saw

political suicide narrowly avoided in Westminster. Back in Bury North

as the dust settled there was a murder mystery under way. I hope so,

I hope so. Did you know that result was coming? I had hoped it wouldn't.

This is a bellwether constituency. They have always followed the

national trends. This time, they did not guess who did it. There was a 5%

swing to read as Theresa May just held on to power, and only with the

help of the DUP. What do you know of them? I do not know much. And the

socially conservative views of the DUP are not palatable to war

political conservatives. That is horrifying. As a Tory supporter, how

do you feel about this? I can't... I can't. I can't countenance it. I

hope the murder mystery might be easier to solve. The headline is a

journey into wrecks that negotiations few would have

imagined. Theresa May says nothing will derail bomb. -- them.

For the third time in just over two years, British voters found

themselves waking up on Friday to a result that few

But that is exactly what pollsters YouGov predicted.

Joining us now is Joe Twyman from YouGov.

We take these polls with a pinch of salt but they narrowed. Did you

think this would happen? Two weeks ago we released a simulation of seat

estimates for how we thought things would break up and that would

suggest a hung parliament was most likely. It is fair to say that that

was not met with universal acclaim from pundits and politicians. But

since then, that polling on the simulation has not really moved

suggesting it was definitely distinct possibility. Even then, I

felt, looking at the end of my data, once the exit polls came in, I

thought that seeking a majority may still have happened. If you look at

the trends and what was detected, people are talking about young

people in the change happened during the campaign. What evidence was

there of that? What we saw from the start of the campaign was a

contraction of the gap between conservative and labour. When it

started, that was a 24 point gap which is enormous historically. It

was almost inevitable that would get smaller. As time went on the

conservatives never really were able to maintain any kind of long-lasting

momentum. Things like the kerfuffle over social care... It all affected

their ability to carry things on. Their figures dropped back and those

Labour 's research. Joining that was the support for young people. Not

just the Sopore, also the likelihood that they would actually turn out to

vote stock that was the big difference. And your evidence is

that they did turn out and vote? Yes, that is correct. How much of

this was down to personality and individual? There is a lot of

evidence to show that it is so much about leaders these days because the

average person on the street is not downloading a copy of each manifesto

and reading it from cover to cover and making notes. Instead they ask

themselves broad questions. Who do I trust? Who was competent? Who can

deliver the promises they are making? And these questions are

answered now by the leaders. We call it heuristics. And so having

someone, although Theresa may begins by staying strong and stable a lot

but then mistakes on things like social care. That starts to deflate

that bubble. On the other hand, Jeremy Corbyn starts from a low base

of being relatively unknown and improves as he goes along. We are

where we are and Theresa May is in Downing Street right now. You

polling as we speak, aren't you, and to find out what? If people are

happy with the result? What question are you asking, given that we have a

result? Essentially it is now asking whether people are happy with the

circumstances that have arisen but also, crucially, the coalition with

the DUP will play an important part in our polling of the next few weeks

and months because at the moment most people in mainland Britain do

not have much IP of the DUP at all. There were not picked it was no

ideological bedfellows. They were chosen because they have the numbers

and were willing to say yes. More on them later. What was a word?

Heuristics? And you wait for the day. We will see a little later.

Back here at about five minutes to wait. 629 is the time and we are

back with headlines in a few minutes.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Louise

Coming up before 7am, Philip will have the weather.

We are live in Westminster this morning with all of the latest news.

The Prime Minister is facing pressure from within her own party,

as she moves to form a government with the help of the Democratic

Theresa May's failure to secure an outright majority has led

to questions from some Conservatives over whether she should remain

in charge, and about what a deal with the DUP could involve.

Our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier is at Downing Street

The big question is where are we now? Theresa May has emerged from

the Alashe not with the increased majority but instead facing

questions about her premiership and no one can get away from the fact

there are angry Tory MPs about what many called a disastrous election

campaign. And that is why we have questions about just how long

Theresa May can hang on here in Downing Street. We even heard from

the conservative MP Heidi Allen who said she thinks the Prime Minister

has six months at best left here in Number Ten and other MPs have said

privately, even one minister saying they don't see how she can stay on.

Even if she is able to stay on there are already pressures on her to

change her leadership style, to widen her circle of advisers, and

for the party to be more involved in policy decisions. And also, warnings

about presidential styles of politics. So, yes, there are

questions about that. Ultimately this election was a political gamble

many were surprised about and it is one that potentially has left are

fighting for the job. In life and in politics we are judged by the

company we keep. There are issues around the DUP on him Theresa May

will be reliant. -- on whom. Theresa May needs a deal with the DUP to

form the government. That needs to be done pretty quickly, around the

next couple of days, before we have the Queens speech setting up a

government agenda. There are concerns about her relationship with

the DUP which for example opposes same-sex marriage in Northern

Ireland, same-sex marriage is opposed, is not lawful, and Ruth

Davidson, conservative leader of the Scottish, the leader of the

Conservative Party in Scotland, is gay and plans to marry her partner

in the next few months. She has raised concerns with Theresa May

about that. Thank you. Senior Sinn Fein leaders say they're

concerned that a deal between the DUP and the

Conservatives could put the Northern Ireland

peace process at risk. Power sharing in Stormont broke down

in January and nationalists say they expect the British government

to remain neutral in efforts This current arrangement may prove

reckless. We will wait and see and reflect on that. We have argued for

some time in recent times the British government have been working

with cahoots with the Democratic Unionist Party to the disadvantage

of the political process here. In fact they called off the talks

recently to re-establish our institutions and without that, the

British public should actually have close scrutiny of the DUP and what

that party represents. Later in the programme we'll be

talking to Theresa May's former director of communications

Katie Perrior. will look at how that affected the

state politics across the UK in the next couple of minutes. And just on

the issue of Theresa May herself, questions about her character are

merging. Later in the programme we'll be

talking to Theresa May's former director of communications

Katie Perrior. She quit when the snap election was

called. Lots more coming up on the election. Yes, and we will keep you

up-to-date on the other news as well.

Playing against Australia or as has extra baggage regardless of how the

teams are going and where they are at and we will probably consider the

fortunes Australia have had with the weather since they have come, it

adds extra. They are a strong team and if they get on top they hammer

things so it is up to us to produce some of our best cricket.

the other Ferrari. Let's go back to Charlie and Louise

at Westminster. The programme is a little different this morning

following events. We are at Westminster and we are conscious

people are talking about the Westminster bubble. What we are

trying to do is reflect on the politics, which is very much here,

and of course we want to speak with as many people as possible in terms

of the reaction to what has occurred. And you imagine how many

conversations have gone on across the country. Families I am urgent

arguing and John McGuire is finding out what is going on and how people

are feeling from the agricultural show in Warwickshire and he has the

bacon butty van with him. Yeah, morning to you, Louise and Charlie.

We are, as you say, at the agricultural show. I want to show

you that bacon. It is the first time the butty van has been out in the

election campaign without the bacon being burnt and I am sure we will

take care of it later. We will have a look around now, we are in

Warwickshire, pretty much in the heart of England, and they are

getting the parade ring set up, all sorts of animals, the usual type of

thing you would expect, and also the conversation as you say. Yesterday I

went to Crewe with the butty van. It is one of the seats across the UK

that went from Tory to Labour with a slim majority. I tend to agree with

the Labour policies on domestic policies but I think we needed a

strong leadership in the negotiations in Brexit and that is

being denied. I am not sure what is being told at all. She might be able

to get a deal on Brexit but I don't think that will outweigh the

policies against what will happen. He is absolutely perfect. She was in

a good position to call on the election. It was clever at the time.

I don't think she ran a clever campaign. If she had, it would be

something very different and people were think at least everything will

be planned out and we know what the next steps are. She will have a free

hand in what she was doing and now she has to do with the others want

as well. I think they could be in a little bit of a mess. At the end of

the day we have to do... We have to deal with what we have got, the same

with Brexit. People who don't want to leave the EU, we have to get on

with it and make the best of what we have got, and that is really yet.

Really interesting views in Crewe. We have a collection of people to

introduce you to this morning. Firstly, Amy Bates, and Ian

O'Donnell, businessmen, Amy is a farmer. Good morning. Thank you for

coming. What do you make of what has happened? It is a difficult

situation that we didn't expect, so let's hope she can take us through

Brexit. The agricultural industry has been heavily invested in Europe

for the last generation or so. What does it make you think about Brexit

negotiations now over the next weeks, months, years? It has to keep

going forward and we can get through it. I think there will be hard times

to come. We can get through it and become a stronger nation and make

British food for the British people and get people in touch with farming

and agriculture. Part of what I do is educate children about where

their food comes from, so we need to get back to that. As a

small-business owner, and I know you are a member of the Federation of

Small Businesses. You talk to other people in same position as you. The

same question, what do people expect and what they think the outcome" the

hope and expectation is that we would have a secure government who

would be able to move things forward. I don't think they mind who

it was but a good majority government. The challenge is not

knowing who has a strong mandate to move things forward. Things will

take longer and business just wants certainty because we have been

waiting around for too long. Listening to the Prime Minister in

Downing Street, it was almost as if the last seven weeks was a speed

bump, and it was business as normal. Are you convinced? Not really.

Everything will take longer. They don't have a majority. If they bring

something into the house, it won't be quick and easy. They will have to

do a lot more negotiating to allow things to get through. That will

just delay the process. Thank you very much. I want to introduce you

to Doctor Michael Flynn. You have left us a croissant, thank you. As

an academic, what have you made of the last 24 hours? I wonder if we

can draw a precedent. People talk about 1974 with the minority

government. Is it the same today or is it a different kettle of fish?

The same but different. We have a minority government, we have a hung

parliament, we need to use the historical experience to inform what

we are doing. In that same way it is very different. If you look at the

situation she faces with the arrangement with the DUP, she is

essentially at the mercy of any group of MPs who have a coffee

together and feel upset about something. Believing it is strong

and stable at this point, to return to your point with the others, the

speech was a right angle to reality and she was behaving as if he had

won the election which is not the case. It is hard to see where to go

from here. I want to ask you about the Brexit negotiations. If we think

she is weakened by what happened yesterday, weekend in what way, in

the eyes of those she will negotiate with, in terms of the Commons, or

the way that the public think of her and her strength or not in those

negotiations in the days to come? The latter sense is the outline of

where it matters, the way we perceive it, the British public. The

Europeans have been geared up for this for a year and they are ready

to get on with it. That won't change the approach. For us, the fact she

is living on a knife edge for as long as the government can survive

means she is inevitably weaker. There is a need for legislation

before parliament, in relation to negotiations, and she could fall at

any point, which makes it weaker. Thank you very much. Lots more from

us at the agricultural show later in the programme.

I have been studying the bacon and you have literally done the best buy

such a long way. Could we have some, please? Thank you so much. We will

catch up with the weather right now. Philip?

Many of you see cloud at the moment streaming in from the Atlantic. This

was the scene in Devon. The weekend, not a write-off by any means at all.

If you get rain don't worry it will not be with you all weekend. There

will be warm sunshine around, breezy at times as well. There is a mass of

cloud wrapped around an area of low pressure. Throwing its way towards

the British Isles at the moment. Some of you have already had a wet

night supper was the case in Northern Ireland. We can see the

rain tending work its way eastwards which must be good news eventually

for Scotland. I think the rain will push on through here and leave a

better afternoon in prospect but once the rain sets in across some of

these western areas, you will get it all day, especially in the Cumbrian

Fels, perhaps down to the north and western parts of Wales as well. Some

brightness after the rain and 22 is possible in the north-east of

Scotland. 19 or 20 in the Central Belt.

In improving picture here after that wet night. There is a frontal

system, no getting away from the fact that it sits there are a good

part of the day, creeping towards the east which is good news for the

cricket because even though the rain looks adjacent, I don't think you

will see it until late in the day. Light could be an issue in between

all of that to keep a close eye on it. Some people in the south-east

could see 20 for 25. The front goes into the south-east overnight and ad

has a weaker affair. A mild night across the piece. And were often

running into Sunday. Low pressure quarter of the British Isles. I

survive there as well. Still dangling front across East Anglia

and the south-east. The drip and drab of rain from those of you have

planned for the morning you may need to factor in rain. Plenty of

blustery showers across Scotland and into Northern Ireland as well. The

best of the conditions probably from Lincolnshire to the east Midlands in

central southern England. Tonight, 22, the tops of the day. Not bad at

all. We are here in Westminster

discussing the fallout from the election. Hopes for a second

independent referendum in Scotland were struck a blow as high-profile

members lost their seats. The Conservative's performance

in Scotland was one of the few With us now are Scottish musician

and political campaigner Pat Kane Inevitably, some of the headlines

have revolved around Alex Salmond being defeated as well as Angus

Robertson losing his seat. The big picture, Scottish politics has

dramatically changed. I think what has happened is... Even bigger than

those losses, big headline moments for them falling out and lacking

momentum, the real casualty is the second independent referendum.

Nicola Sturgeon has signalled that she will not pursue it. Not just

high Brexit now but nationalism throughout the UK in general has

been a casualty, in my opinion, of this election. I know you are a

musician so you have had along few nights what do you think? I am we

did it go wrong? If you are left Progressive person many things went

right. The SNP talk of the labour vote and added some of their

policies onto it. The Jeremy Corbyn went a little bit further left than

the SNP so it is not surprising. And Westminster is different now from

Scotland. Let's be honest, it is a high benchmark to fall from, when

you win 91% of the seats and the new drop to 56%, it is hard to criticise

the SNP for falling from a state of near perfection. If you translated

the percentage of votes, they had 120 seat majority over here. It's

not good for independence but the thing about the independence

referendum is that it is contingent on how Westminster delivers. It is

quite unstable over there, let's be honest. Momentum is one of the

things, we all want to talk about politics and for so long the SNP has

had momentum. You mentioned that high mark in terms of extraordinary

position that they were in. Has everything changed? Is the momentum

completely in a different direction? What is interesting and what the SNP

did by capturing that momentum is you see that sort of radical edge,

especially among the use switch to be more radical terms. But if you

look at 18 to 24 -year-olds in that segment in Scotland they have

switched now in large numbers, like the rest of the UK, from the SNP to

the Labour Party. Also, I think, what I will say is that you are

right, Pat, that the Westminster election has a different dynamic. If

you combine percentages, Unionist parties across the board got 60% of

the mode in terms of popular share. That is why it the constituencies

backing away from it. We must mention Ruth Davison. She, whatever

your views are, political views, she had quite a good night. However,

what I would say is that there isn't element of anti- politics about the

Tory vote in Scotland. There is a sense in which we have had enough

and we do not want any more fights, and we do not want any more binary

divisions. Give us a rest. So I think... The mood in Scotland is

quite complex. On Ruth Davidson, what she has done is quite

important, she has done very well and moved as far away as she could

from Theresa May. She had a separate manifesto which it was against...

She had... She said they do not want foxhunting and they do not want the

fuel allowance cuts. She ran enough faraway and now she is firing shots

at the DUP Alliance. She tweeted her speech at golf rap dumber Belfast

pride as a shot across the bow is. I know we live in strange political

times. Apologies for the noise behind us. We are live in

Westminster this morning. As you can see... The Ruth Davidson issue,

momentum and people stepping forward, people stepping back. Right

now Theresa May is on the back foot, there is no question about that.

Ruth Davison, she is a conservative on the front foot? Is there any

possibility that somewhere along the line Ruth Davison could end up in a

position other than the leader of the Scottish Conservative Party? She

is desperate to go on strictly come dancing. If there is one thing she

can do to establish political head Germany it would be that. She did

tell us that once. -- he Gammy. -- political hegemony. Potentially she

could but the thing about Ruth Davison is that she is not... Some

people would love her to just passing, grab a seat and see what

happens. She will not do that. She knows that would damage your

reputation. She just won an election in Scotland, she needs to do well

here. But we should watch to see what you can do. A lot of that the

Tories won were historical Tory votes that went to labour. It is

ideological. She will head a limit. The country is to the left and if

you showed a progressive votes... You think the Tories have done the

best they can do? I think it is the best they can do because the country

is not... If you look at the balance a progressive parties in Scotland it

is not really a home to conservatism. She has done very well

in targeting a get off my back, they give me peace. One last point

question I know you are coming back... Thank you very much indeed.

Time now 656. Apologies for the noise us, it will be like that this

morning. We are reviewing where we are after Friday and let's have a

look now. Voters of Britain delivered a hung parliament. We know

of the consequences And what we're saying

Note they don't have an overall majority at this stage.

Unless the exit poll is incredibly wrong,

the Prime Minister has failed to achieve her principal objective.

The worst possible outcome would be a hung Parliament.

Politics has changed and politics isn't going back.

You live by the sword and you die by the sword.

is not like that everywhere. I will have all the detail on the weekend's

weather in just 80 minutes. -- eight few minutes.

This is Breakfast, live from College Green in Westminster.

Our top story this morning - the Prime Minister is facing

pressure from within her own party, as she moves to form a government

with the help of the Democratic Unionists.

Theresa May's failure to secure an outright majority has led

to questions from some Conservatives over whether she should remain

in charge, and about what a deal with the DUP could involve.

Our political correspondent Emma Vardy has this report

on the fallout from the 2017 general election.

A valuable result in the UK's richest constituency.

Almost 24 hours after the polls closed it took a third recount

in Kensington to finally reveal Labour had taken the seat

from the Tories for the first time ever by just 20 votes.

It means the Conservatives end the campaign with 318 seats

The SNP on 35, the Lib Dems on 12, Plaid Cymru on four

Now, Theresa May is reaching out to the Democratic Unionist Party

With the ten DUP MPs, the Conservatives will have

a working majority in the House of Commons.

But there are early signs that for some this will be

The DUP is anti-abortion and Northern Ireland is the only

part of the UK where same-sex marriage is not legal.

Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson last night sought

assurances that any deal with the DUP must not affect gay

Meanwhile, concerns remain over whether the Prime Minister

One senior Tory has told the BBC she has to go.

And this was the Transport Secretary Chris Grayling on the BBC's Question

She needs to stay as Prime Minister for the future.

What was once sold as strong and stable now feels ever shaky.

Just around the road behind us, of course, is Downing Street. We can go

to our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier. I imagine there are

some tough conversations going on today for Theresa May. What is your

analysis this morning? Good morning. I think Theresa May has emerged from

this election not without increased majority she wanted but instead

fighting for her premiership. There is anger among many Conservative MPs

at what many say was a disastrous campaign. That is why there are

questions this morning about how long Theresa May can hang on in

Downing Street. We heard from Heidi Allen, a Conservative MP, saying

that she thinks Theresa May has just six months to hold on here in

Downing Street. Other MPs and one minister have just said that they

don't see how she can hang on. Even if she does, there are already

demands on her to change her leadership style, to increase that

small advice circle that she has around her, to consult the party

more on policy changes. And also a warning about a presidential style

of objects. Of course, between now and next week she needs to get a

deal done with the DPP -- DUP, and eyebrows have been raised about how

difficult that could be, not least because some of the view is that the

DUP hold. I think ultimately this big political Campbell Theresa May

took has not just cost the Conservative majority, it could cost

cost her her job. Eleanor Garnier, thank you.

The leader of the Scottish Conservatives, Ruth Davidson,

has raised concerns about a deal with the Democratic Unionists.

She's asked the Prime Minister for assurances that gay rights

won't be eroded by the DUP which opposes same sex marriage.

Catriona Renton is in Glasgow for us this morning.

Ruth Davidson has made open, and about her concerns over the DUP.

Take us through what she has said? Absolutely. The Scottish

Conservatives have become important players now, winning 13 seats at the

election. They only had one last time, so that gain of 12 seats has

made their voice very important, and part of the reason I think why

Theresa May has managed to stay in Downing Street. She did raise her

concerns yesterday. She is clearly not entirely comfortable about an

alliance with the DUP. Of course, the DUP are against gay marriage.

Ruth Davidson is in a relationship with her female partner. She is due

to get married to her. So she did raise her concerns with Theresa May

yesterday. She said there were other things that matter to her more than

the party, one of them being LGBT I writes. -- LGBTI. She said she

received date categorical assurance that there would be no diversion of

LGBTI rights in Britain, and that the Prime Minister would try to

advance LGBTI writes in Northern Ireland. She is also looking to use

her increased influence over the Brexit negotiations. I think she

will seek to see she can get negotiations for Britain to remain

part of the single market, that is one of the things she suggested. She

said it was important that there is an open Brexit that allows for the

greatest amount possible of free trade. So the political 's landscape

has certainly changed here in Scotland. -- political landscape.

Senior Sinn Fein leaders say they're concerned that a deal

between the DUP and the Conservatives could put

the Northern Ireland peace process at risk.

Power sharing in Stormont broke down in January and nationalists say

they expect the British government to remain neutral in efforts

This current arrangement may prove reckless.

We will wait and see and reflect on that.

We have argued for some time in recent times the British

government have been working in cahoots with

the Democratic Unionist Party to the disadvantage

In fact, they called off the talks recently

to re-establish our institutions and, without that, the British

public should actually have close scrutiny of the DUP

And we will have more on the fallout from the election later on. Right

now, we have the rest of the news. It's been revealed that one

of the London Bridge killers tried to hire a 7.5-tonne truck

on the morning of the attack. Police say Khuram Butt's payment

failed to go through, so he hired a white van from B

that was eventually used instead. Two more people have been arrested

in connection with the attack. A total of eight people

are now in custody. Here's our home affairs

correspondent Daniel Sandford. This was the weapon found

still strapped to Khuram Butt's body He and his fellow attackers used

three identical 12 inch pink knives made of ceramic to

murder five people. Counterterrorism detectives want

help on where the Ernesto The men had already killed three

other people on London Bridge Throughout the carnage,

heroic members of the public tried We have stories of people who came

out armed with chairs, other items were thrown,

bottles and anything they could get their hands on,

with a view to stop the attackers coming into pubs or bars but more

importantly to scare them and try to stop others

being attacked. Afterwards in the van police van 13

petrol-bombs made with lighter fluid and cloth cut from tracksuit bottoms

as well as two blow torches. The day started with the ringleader,

Khuram Butt, on police bail, He didn't have enough money,

so instead he hired the white van from B in Romford,

which the men picked up some Then leaving Barking soon

after 7:30pm, they set off At 9:58pm they arrived

at London Bridge, driving across it and then back again before

ploughing into pedestrians By the time they crashed the van

at 10:07pm they fatally They then used the knives

to kill five more. At 10:16pm, they were

shot dead by police. Detectives now believe

it was in a safe house, a flat above this row

of shops in east London, that the men had prepared

for their attack. Good morning. You are watching BBC

Breakfast. We are live from Westminster this morning, discussing

the fallout of the latest election and what it might mean for all of

us. Yes, maybe reflecting some of the conversations you had last night

all over this this morning, about the situation we now find ourselves

in. We are going to talk about campaigns now.

Their campaigns were like chalk and cheese.

Theresa May met small select groups of supporters while Jeremy Corbyn

addressed large rallies of fervent followers.

And while some critics said the Prime Minister failed to shine

in personal interviews, others claimed the Labour leader

Before we speak to a pair of experts in this field,

let's remind ourselves of some highs and lows from those two very

I have just chaired a meeting with the cabinet, where we agreed that

the government should call a general election to be held on the eighth of

June. You're joking. Not another one. I like your shoes, and then she

looked at me and said, your shoes got me involved in politics. Do you

know who leaked your manifesto? No, we don't. Strong and stable. Strong

and stable. Strong and stable. You've called a general election for

the good of the Conservative Party and it's going to backfire on you!

Would you allow North Korea or some idiot in a run to master and then

say, we'd better start talking? -- some idiot in Iran to us. I'm

Jeremy... Make sure you register to vote. What the country needs more

than ever is certainty. And having secured the largest number of votes

and the greatest number of seats in the general election, it is clear

that only the conservative and Unionist party has the legitimacy

and ability to provide that certainty by commanding a majority

in the House of Commons. So, those are some of the images you will

remember. Katie Perrior is Theresa May's

former director of communications - she stood down on the day

the election was announced - and Matt Zarb-Cousin was a spokesman

for Jeremy Corbyn until April. Welcome to you both. I am sure you

are very tired from an extraordinary few days. Katie, what I want to ask

you is, rather than going back in time, right now, Theresa May would

have us believe that nothing has changed. Just looking at that speech

on the podium, she has come back from meeting the Queen, she stands

in front of the press after what has been an extraordinary election, and

would have us believe that it is business as usual? Well, of course,

Charlie, everything has changed. I wrote in the times this morning that

actually, that speech, she struck the wrong tone outside number ten.

She should have come back and said, I hear you. What I have offered is

not enough, I have taken that on board and listened. Instead she

delivered a speech claiming that it was business as usual, standing

strong, saying we will deliver a strong Brexit. Then she had to go to

media interviews later in the day. Why is that? Why the chick at that

time wrong? -- did she get that time wrong? I don't know why, acting she

has been given poor advice. All the way through this campaign Theresa

May suffered from poor advice from her close circle of advisers. If you

are going to run a presidential style election with a woman who

doesn't like doing the media, Jakarta void during debates. You

have to go out there. Tony Blair crawled over broken glass in 2000

and want to get on the airwaves. She looked like it was slightly beneath

her. That sets the tone. By way of contrast, the man who lost

was the one left smiling. Yes, no one expected him to win seats and I

think there was a lot of concern that he wasn't going to be able to

win seats and win votes and what's happened is we have had the biggest

swing to a political party since 1945. People looked at the rallies.

They knew he was a good campaigner but they didn't think that would

necessarily translate to votes and seats. The fact that he has been

able to mobilise and many young people and in those seats where the

young people voted the turnout has gone up 4% or 5% and those seats

have swung around to Labour. On a day-to-day basis, in the place

around us here, trying to get something changed or presented

properly, how has it changed? We have more MPs now. Our position in

Westminster is much stronger. I think his credibility within the

party and with the public has increased considerably in the course

of this general election campaign. I don't think that anything anyone

predicted. Let's talk about Theresa May. Like us, she will be up this

morning having Brett test. The conversations going around the are

never-ending. -- having breakfast. What now for her? She said she was

with the Conservative government for the next five years. Does she mean

that will be her? What she means is the Conservative government doesn't

fancy being in opposition. People will be rallying around the PM today

saying in the long-term maybe this is to option for now we have to get

together. For how long? You never know. But the Conservatives are a

ruthless bunch and they go for each other quite carefully. I've always

said it is really bad to not have a strong opposition in the House of

Commons. If the Conservatives don't have an enemy across the ventures we

tend to turn on ourselves. -- ventures. In that very small group

around her, we understand she has two key advisers. So three of them

are deciding how things go. Has this... Do you think anything has

changed in the way she will think this group ayes will she get rid of

people, will she listened to people more? Is the way she goes about this

business so entrenched? I think she will have to change that. When you

look through the newspapers this morning, in every other paper there

is coverage about how it is too tightly controlled. In the election

campaign the presidential campaign was about her at the beginning and

in the end she ruled out Amber Rudd, David Davis. She has a lot of big

hitters and she didn't use any of them. Tell us what it's like. A lot

of people listen and think she has two advisers. What do they do? What

happens in a room? Are they literally just saying, what are we

going to do? What's happening? They are terrible political leaders, but

Lillian Street ciders. You need a few people who have been around the

block. -- brilliant street ciders. What we've seen through the

manifesto preparation is they've landed really badly on the doorstep

and MPs didn't even know what was going to go in it. So it is too

tightly controlled at the top. And there was the leak of the manifesto.

You think in some way that worked well for Jeremy Corbyn? Absolutely.

The Conservatives wanted an election about Brexit. If Labour tried to its

Article 50 earlier on and I think they would have called the election

then. But because the manifesto leaked, we then had a lot of

intrigue and a lot of people finding out what was in it and a debate

about policies and lots of issues. I think that really helped and got the

election campaign going. Whether it was intentional or not we don't

know. But a quick look at the papers. It is really all about

Theresa May. Many stairs into the abyss. She has had her chips. -- May

stares. You would think papers like the

Daily Telegraph, which has been so supportive throughout, this thought

process that is happening now, how close is it to the truth? I think

they are quite spot on. They will all be sitting there, David Davis,

Boris Johnson and Theresa May thinking, where do we go next? The

Conservatives have to regroup and remember what they offered the

country. Theresa May talked about the things that mattered to people.

Why people were voting Brexit and how they were feeling at home.

That's why she is four points ahead. Is there a plot right now to replace

Theresa May? This is the Conservative Party, there's probably

always a plot. I don't know. I think people get annoyed when... I am

playing that role of sort of laughing about it, but this is our

Prime Minister we are talking about and I think sometimes in this

Westminster bubble we all try to fight out of it. This is the real

deal. Is there someone now trying to conjure a plan to be Prime Minister

while we have a Prime Minister? I am sure they will be looking at the

long-term, thinking, will this be the next five years with Theresa May

or am I in with a shot? There are big hitters in the Cabinet to at the

moment will be crowding around the Prime Minister, backing her, was we

are ten days away from the start of Brexit negotiation and that will be

on their mind. In the long-term, probably. What is notable is their

silence. I think the problem they have is that Theresa May now looks

like a defeated Prime Minister. She called the election because she

wanted an increased mandate, she thought the election was a foregone

conclusion, I think she took the public for granted. They didn't

really give them a positive offer. And she got punished for that. Now

either... The longer she stays there the more it will help Labour in

terms of the increased to Labour support, but if she goes out such a

crucial time for the country that I don't think the public will ever

forgive the Conservative Party. That's a very interesting point.

Thank you both very much indeed. Time to get some sleep. Thank you

both so much. We are hoping it stays dry this morning. So far, so good.

We have a tent, so we are safer now. How we can looking?

Good morning. I see that the blankets have come out. I didn't

think it was that cold! If you are waking up in the Channel Islands

this morning you probably have some of the best weather on offer.

Glorious conditions. A very sensible choice shooting through the glass in

Lancashire. Not looking very sparkly here for Jean. You are not alone in

Lancashire. Widely across northern England and western parts of England

increasingly and Wales, Northern Ireland you've had your rain

overnight. That's gradually creeping away and it will move into Scotland

during the course of the day. It is all tied in with weather fronts

which will gradually push further north and gradually push further

eastwards, out of the west of England and from Wales. But it will

take an absolute age to see the front moving on. Once the rain is

gone I think things brighten up. We could have 22 degrees. The wind

direction is just right for you. 22 degrees in Northern Ireland. Still

showers to come into the far west to finish the day. There the weather

front. Breezy, coming in from the south. 17- 19. In the sunshine for

the south-east you keep that for much of the day. 24- 25 foot.

Edgbaston, a bit close for the cricket! Cloudy throughout. The

light could be an issue and then the rain moves on later today,

hopefully. You might get a good day's played, but interrupted?

That's a neat call. That eventually fizzles into the south-east of the

British Isles. A -- not a cold airstream, so not a cold night, near

the low pressure into Sunday it will be breezy and plenty of showers as

well. That will be the wafer western Scotland, Northern Ireland and

eventually we will have their showers pushing into parts of the

north-west of England, through western Wales. The driest of the

weather from Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and into the Midlands and central

and southern England, towards the east with the cloud popping the

weather front is still there. 21- 22 certainly, with the chance of a spot

of rain. More on the website, see you later.

Thank you very much. Good morning. We are live in Westminster

throughout the morning, discussing what everything means. We've got the

general election result, we know it's a hung parliament.

What does that mean? We are trying to reflect some of the conversations

you may be having at home, questions about how much damage has been done

to Theresa May by the election results. We are trying to give you

more information about DUP. We are learning fast about what that party

represents and how crucial they are now to the Conservatives and what

lies ahead. What is unwarranted -- minority

government really mean? What does it mean for you? We are trying to get

to the bottom of that. The papers this morning, look at this. The

Mirror, the coalition of crackpots is the way they have written it up

this morning. We know that Theresa May was talking about a coalition of

chaos, but the Mirror have written it up like this.

You can see more of the headlines. The Guardian, also the Daily

Telegraph as well. Who could have predicted it? At

Conservative leader turning into this government. Accusations of a

coalition of crackpots. What went wrong with the Tories?

Ahead lies a journey into Brexit negotiations few

Theresa May says nothing will derail them.

Really interesting hearing people's voices. Very much what we are trying

to reflect. Coffee has just arrived. Our eagle eyed fillip spotted

earlier that Lou has a blanket around her legs, because there is a

draft. As you can see we are at Westminster

this morning, a special programme reflecting and looking ahead to what

lies ahead in terms of Theresa May's administration.

Tell us what is important you. We will try to get some of those

questions answered. Stay with us. The headlines are coming up.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Louise

Coming up before 8:00, Philip will have the weather.

We are here in Westminster, discussing the fallout of the latest

general election, what it means for us and what it means in Parliament.

We will be live to Downing Street through the morning, where Theresa

May will just be waking up and looking at the papers which we will

also be looking at here on BBC Breakfast. We will keep you right up

to date with everything happening. Michael have the sport, as well.

First, let's take you through the main developers. -- developments.

The Prime Minister is facing pressure from within her own party,

as she moves to form a government with the help of the Democratic

Theresa May's failure to secure an outright majority in the general

election has led to questions from some Conservatives over

whether she should remain in charge, and about what a deal

A few minutes ago the Prime Minister's former comedic 's chief

told us she was certain some cabinet members would be considering Theresa

May's future. -- communications chief. They will be looking at the

future and thinking, is this five years with Theresa May, or am I in

with a shot? There will be people in the cabinet who are gathering around

the Prime Minister, backing her, because we are ten days away from

the start of Brexit negotiations, and that will be the first thing on

their minds. But long-term, yes, probably. The leader of the Scottish

Conservatives, Ruth Davidson, has raised concerns about a potential

deal with the DUP. She has asked the Prime Minister for assurances that

gay rights will not be eroded by the DUP, which opposes same-sex

marriage. Senior Sinn Fein leaders say they're

concerned that a deal between the DUP and the

Conservatives could put the Northern Ireland

peace process at risk. Power sharing in Stormont broke down

in January and nationalists say they expect the British government

to remain neutral in efforts This current arrangement may well

prove to be reckless but we'll have to wait and see. We will reflect on

the. We have argued for some considerable time, especially

recently, that the British government have been working in

cahoots with the DUP to disadvantage -- to the disadvantage of the

political process here. They called off the talks here very recently to

re-establish our institutions. The British public should actually have

close scrutiny of the DUP, and what that party presents -- represents.

In the final constituency declaration, Labour took the

conservative seat of Kensington in west London. The Labour candidate

won by just 20 votes, overturning a majority of 7000.

the weather is enormously important. What is important is what is

happening in politics. A seismic change. We do have the Prime

Minister remaining in Downing Street, but so much has changed in

terms of the landscape and the arguments in the campaign. We will

be discussing all sorts of things this morning.

Public anger over cuts to services seem to have helped propel

the Labour Party to its highest share of the vote since Tony Blair's

landslide victory in 2001, so how will the election results

affect Theresa May's future plans for austerity?

Joining us now are Conor D'arcy from the Resolution Foundation,

and Bronwen Maddox from the Institute for Government.

Good morning to you both. Could you give us your thoughts on the

arguments we have had during the election campaign, and the key

issues that you believe genuinely started to make people think about

how they were going to vote? Public services and the cuts to them were a

much bigger issue than the parties seemed to think they were, going

into the election. Everybody thought this was going to be the Brexit

election. That is certainly how Theresa May wanted to play it, even

though she didn't talk about it much. But what came out very clearly

was that anger and concern about public cuts to local government,

education, the NHS, was really running very high. And I think in a

funny way, in Westminster, when you are in the Westminster bubble,

politicians will think that was the last government's arguments. But of

course all those cuts were still coming through. And people are

really beginning to feel the effect of it. Labour really capitalised on

it on the campaign trail. What seems to have come out is that it was not

just older generations perhaps feeling that, it was very much the

younger generation feeling that as well? Yes, absolutely. We don't have

the turnout data yet, but the suggestion is that lots of young

people have swung towards Labour. But there are also longer term

trends like wage growth being porphyry younger generations, and

not being able to afford a home, that has sparked people to turn out

when they haven't before. -- wage growth being poorer. And Jeremy

Corbyn had a very different manifesto. Yes, when we are talking

about cuts to welfare, they would not will be reversed under Labour,

so there is a broader picture. We were talking with Theresa May's

former communications adviser who worked with her until about six

weeks ago. The suggestion is that she can't do things any differently.

She doesn't do that listening thing that other politicians somehow do

better. Bearing in mind the issues you say, people are concerned about

them now, and her suggestion is that we should carry on as before. Is

there a problem there? She is going to have to listen. In fact, she is

going to be told, not just by the DUP but Byron party, what they are

prepared for her to do. She will have to give way to some of these

voices and I think you can expect a bit of a pulling back on austerity

and some of those things. She will have to. That is interesting,

because that is not her style. Her stylistically what she said she was

going to do and stick to it, and even when she does a U-turn, she

makes out that it is something else. It is or is a balance in political

leaders. They have to be a leader, they have to say that this is the

direction we are going in, but they also have to have antenna for

pulling in what people really care about. That's the bit she lacks. She

doesn't have a choice at this point. If she is going to stay in office,

her party, let alone the DUP, will be keeping a tight rein on her. What

is the reality here? Do cuts still have to be made? There is always a

question of how they are made and the balance across them. One of the

themes that Theresa May brought up was social care, our ageing society,

and who is going to pay that. Those are important questions that are not

going to go away. But it is about the balance of any cuts, or where

money is taken from. Is it being drawn from working-class families or

is it being spread more broadly across people who have done quite

well, the baby boomer generation and so on. The fact is that the national

finances are very tight and any politician is going to face that.

There is not as much money around as the country would like. There is a

lot of debt and deficit. I think we do face a big economic question

behind this, about whether we are just going to go a bit easier on the

deficit and spend a bit more, which is really the political bait --

debate that didn't get teased out, but that may be one of the artefacts

of this election. You mentioned the social care issue that arose during

the election, that plan the Conservatives have, though they had

to backtrack and start changing their ideas. It will be brave to go

back into that territory again, isn't it? Because it was so toxic.

These are obviously emotional issues, when you are thinking about

the end of life. But these are big questions that we don't really have

a big answer for at the moment. When you have that more fragile coalition

it is difficult. But I think in the long-term these generational issues

are the ones we have to get to grips with, and have such traction, so

having a good answer for them is a real vote winner. Thank you, both of

you. You brought the sun with you. It was Chile, and now you have got

the sunshine. I might even put my blanket away.

What a beautiful morning it has turned out to be. We can get the

weather. Good morning. Let's rub. It is also glorious in Guernsey and

quite widely across the Channel Islands. -- rub it in further. It is

miserable across some parts of the British Isles because some of you

are tied up with this weather fronts already, which produced a wet night

in Northern Ireland for example and we continue to push this rain

further eastwards and further northwards. But at least it is

moving. For some of you that's good news. But the cloud and rain looks

like it is shy of the south-west. Once it moves in the Dev Anand

Cornwall, perhaps Somerset and Dorset eventually, you keep it for a

good part of the day. -- Devon and Cornwall. Some parts are moving.

Once the rain clears from Scotland, about 22. Northern Ireland not far

behind. There's the great swathe of cloud. That's where it sits, with

only a gradually Eastwood Creek. If you are in east Anglia, the east

Midlands or the south-east of warm afternoon in prospect. Edgbaston, I

wish you were further east, but the cloud will be a feature. Light could

be an issue later on. The UV levels are quite high so watch out. You
