She can't get much of her disastrous manifesto though without a majority. Even with DUP support she won't carry enough of her own party with her.

Where's Ken Clarke when you need him?

She's effectively said that the promises made in the election Manifesto won't be happening.

Queen's speech delayed. Rummers are she can't get her "Cabinet" to agree terms with the Loyalists, so get ready for another 7 weeks of elections.

Think of it like this, if she fails to form a government on the first try Jeremy Corbyn is PM by default. There's precedents for exactly that happening in the 1920s and 1970s.

Sounds like the end of austerity and the DUP are playing hard ball as is their prerogative.

We can't have austerity when we don't know what our economy is going to look like.

I see Europe are loving this. There have been a few swipes at us time wasting while all of this goes on.

Let's be honest at this moment in time they are not in a position to promise anything at all.

The Tories have enough seats to sit as a minority government. I can't see them calling another election. I can seem them ousting May during the summer.

May has to present her legislative programme to Parliament via the Queen’s speech, MPs then have six days to debate it before voting on it on 27th June. If it gets voted down, it will effectively constitute a vote of no confidence in May’s minority government. She’s a gonna without the full support of the DUP and her entire party.

Considering half of her party has been critical of her manifesto which her legislative programme will be based on, she’s fecked!

I used to look at my payslip and wonder what NI contributions meant.

Shows the f@#ked state of our political mess if you ask me.

The people that they supposedly work for don't really want her in charge, all other parties are gunning for the top seat. How does she secure it, by buying it with tax payers money..

Wrong, just wrong..
