Who is the most powerful person in Britain?

The Democratic Unionist Party has agreed to the principles of an outline agreement to support Theresa May's Conservative Party on a "confidence and supply" basis, Downing Street announced Saturday.

Numerous key cabinet posts have already been declared as unchanged from the previous government, including Philip Hammond as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Amber Rudd as home secretary, Boris Johnson as foreign secretary.

"She's then got to present a programme to Parliament".


"I can still be prime minister", Corbyn said.

A confidence and supply agreement would see the DUP backing the Tories on its budget and in confidence votes, but would not see DUP members take up cabinet positions.

The political turmoil comes a week before Britain is due to start negotiating the terms of its exit from the European Union in talks of unprecedented complexity that are supposed to wrap up by the end of March 2019, when Britain actually leaves.


May is trying to form a minority government after her Conservative Party lost its parliamentary majority in a June 8 snap election that she had called for back in April.



Many senior Conservatives say May should stay, for now, to provide stability. The Prime Minister reiterated that the Government's approach and objectives in the forthcoming talks to re-establish the Northern Ireland Executive remained unchanged. "But what I'm doing now is actually getting on with the immediate job", she said.




The Conservatives are expected to pick up some elements of the DUP's manifesto.


"I don't think Theresa May and this government have any credibility".

"There's a possibility of voting the Queen's Speech down and we're going to push that all the way".
