Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has urged May to step down as prime minister and allow him to form a minority government. “Politics has changed. Politics isn’t going back into the box where it was before,” he said. Liberal Democrats leader Tim Farron also called on May to resign, saying her “extreme” Brexit plans were rejected by voters. Farron further called for Brexit talks to be delayed.“Only the Conservative and Unionist party has the legitimacy and ability to provide certainty” says Theresa May pic.twitter.com/4CMZyGGmvt

Results
[image-autorefresh src=”http://tomtaylor20net.ipage.com/Election%20Results.jpg?noCache=true”]Tory MP Anna Soubry has said she needs to consider her position, while Nigel Evans blamed the social care policy for the loss of the majority, saying “we hijacked our own campaign.” He insisted he was supporting May but told the BBC “A load of our candidates that should have been winning up and down the country were absolutely slain on the cross of our own manifesto.” ‘Never have I seen a very successful campaign up until that point been hijacked by ourselves. We hijacked our own campaign and from then on it was an absolute disaster,” he added.
