Theresa May

Theresa May has no intention of resigning as Prime Minister after a disastrous night for her party, according to Sky sources

Mrs May is facing calls to resign after her snap General Election gamble spectacularly backfired.

Britain has a hung parliament after the Conservatives lost their majority on an extraordinary night.

The Tories remain the biggest party with 315 seats so far and Labour currently on 261 - with 326 required for a majority and just four seats left to be called.

Sky's senior political correspondent Beth Rigby said: "A Tory source tells me, 'the Prime Minister is working to form a government because we have the largest number of seats and votes'.

"A source from the DUP (Democratic Unionist Party) told me earlier that there are constant talks between Theresa May's team and the DUP party.

"No doubts those talks are going on now to see whether with those 10 seats they can come in behind Theresa May - and then she edges over the line and she will have a very small working majority.

"The Prime Minister and her team appear to be trying to get out on the front foot with this - she wants to hold her ground.

"It's all moving - lots of chat behind the scenes from Conservatives furious with her for calling this election in the first place."
