Former Treasury chief George Osborne - who was sacked by May past year - called her a "dead woman walking", and opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn said he was ready to contest another election at any time. On election night, Corbyn led one of the largest swings to Labour since World War II.
Britain has been plunged into political chaos after a shock result in Thursday's general election that saw the ruling Conservative Party's majority wiped out.
The former shadow chancellor said Labour must not forget that "we lost the election".
After a day of the prime minister trying to carry on as if she had won the mandate she sought for the imminent Brexit talks, the papers twisted the knife.
The leader of the Northern Ireland party that has handed Britain's Conservative government power has said it will be "difficult" for Prime Minister May to keep her job.
"And I don't feel like the current prime minister or, indeed, the Tory party, has any idea about what to do with Brexit at the moment".
The snap election, which Theresa May hoped would bolster her bargaining position in inchoate Brexit talks, surprised in many ways.
Rafael Nadal: Impossible to describe winning feeling of 10th French Open title
Nadal, who fired 27 winners, won all 12 service games, saving the lone break point he faced and making just 12 unforced errors. It's the most important event in my career, so to win here is something I can not describe", Nadal said after his win.
British voters headed to the polls after May had called for general elections in April. With a handful of seats still to be declared, the Conservatives were predicted to win 318 seats, down from 331 in 2015 - yet another upset in a turbulent year since the European Union referendum in June 2016. Instead, she has left Britain's government ranks in disarray, days before the divorce negotiations are due to start on June 19. One can nearly hear the death knell ringing in Edinburgh as stalwarts of the Scottish independence movement, including the former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond, lost their seats to unionist candidates.
Mrs May, who inherited the leadership after David Cameron resigned after the Brexit referendum result, had called the election seeking a bigger majority to give her a mandate to pursue her Brexit agenda.
The Labour MP for Nottingham East refused to say whether he thought Mr Corbyn was credible prime minister.
But opposition politicians and some members of her own party have called on her to quit.
Corbyn said May should "go. and make way for a government that is truly representative of all the people of this country". What she didn't bargain for were the Labour voters who were mobilized by their country's terrifying direction.
In the polls, the Scottish National Party won 35 seats, the Liberal Democrats 12 and the Democratic Unionist Party got 10.
