But he said his party would seek to vote down May's Queen's Speech, or program for government, when she presented it to parliament, and another national election might be needed to break the deadlock.
Downing Street says it hopes to finalize the deal next week, after Parliament resumes sitting. Some say her failure means the government must now take a more flexible approach to the divorce, potentially softening the exit terms.

May's Conservatives lost their parliamentary majority in Thursday's vote and need the support of the 10 MPs from Northern Ireland's DUP to have a majority. By contrast the vote for Labour was up by over three million.
