Cameron Penny: May must go now

There is a natural path ahead: announce a resignation by the end of next week, and allow a contest to take place over the summer.

Conservative MPs do not believe that May can lead them into the next election. Nor, reluctantly, do we.

Recriminations amongst Conservative MPs begin

Those who are left of party centre are breaking cover to attack ‘Mayism’, whilst Brexiteers seem to be rallying around the Prime Minister.

Iain Dale: No, Corbyn hasn’t pulled off a triumph. A defeat is a defeat is a defeat.

Plus: An apology on behalf of the pundits, the press, the pollsters, the politicians and the parties for calling this election utterly, totally and completely wrong.
