Theresa May was savaged in Saturday morning’s newspapers after her failed General Election gamble forced her into a minority government propped up by the DUP.
The Prime Minister lost her majority in the Commons after a shock Labour surge on Thursday, weakening her position just days before negotiations begin on Brexit.
The Guardian branded the result a “humiliation” for Mrs May while many national newspapers questioned whether the PM would be able to survive a Conservative Party revolt.
Mrs May apologised to Tory MPs who lost their constituency, with the party now reliant on the DUP’s ten MPs to push legislation through the Commons.
The Conservative Party won 318 seats, eight short of a majority.
