What will happen next?

The prime minister, Theresa May was forced to beg for a bailout from the Irish Democratic Unionist Party Friday, leaving her possibly imprisoned from the DUP, as she has lost her majority.

A DUP source said they want to prevent Labour Leader, Jeremy Corbyn getting into power as โ€œIRA sympathisers will never do a deal with usโ€ they said.

However, after Thursday nightโ€™s shock general election May has lost confidence amongst many, also sterling plummeted and she is due to start Brexit negotiations 19 June.

Opponents have said hearing of Mayโ€™s coalition with DUP leader, Arlene Foster this will be a โ€œcoalition of Chaos.โ€

Foster said that it is โ€œtoo soon to sayโ€ what will happen although it will be โ€œdifficult for May to survive.โ€

A Conservative source said: โ€œI wouldnโ€™t say a deal has been done. The DUP has made clear they will work for us, but the precise nature of that will emerge in due course.โ€

The foreign secretary, Boris Johnson has been tipped to succeed May, Johnson said: โ€œWeโ€™ve got to listen to our constituents and listen to their concerns.โ€ย 

David Davis the Brexit secretary said: โ€œThe simple truth is we have a Prime Minister, she is a very good leader, Iโ€™m a big supporter of hers.โ€
