Mrs May declared her determination to carry on in Downing Street after going to see the Queen to request permission to form a government - even though she has lost her Commons majority. She said she was still leader of the largest party in the Commons - but failed to even mention she had humiliatingly lost seats to Labour after calling the election three years early in a bid to capitalise on sky-high poll ratings. The defiant move came as Mrs May faces open calls from her own MPs to 'consider her position', while a jubilant Jeremy Corbyn has demanded she make way for him to become PM. Former chancellor George Osborne lambasted her campaign performance as 'wooden' and her manifesto as a disaster. Even the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), whose 10 MPs Mrs May is set to rely on to keep her in Downing Street, said it would be 'difficult' for her to cling on.
