Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had given the party "confidence" about selling party policies such as public ownership of the railways, she added.
"I don't think Theresa May and this government have any credibility", Corbyn said, predicting that there could be another election within months. "All over the world, people are rising up against austerity and massive levels of income and wealth inequality". May, jolted by the electoral setback, however, remained defiant to calls for her resignation and vowed to form a minority government with the informal backing of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). As the Tories received 318 seats (42.3% of the vote) to Labour's 261 (40%), the DUP's 10 seats would provide the Conservatives with a governing majority.

The Prime Minister called this election on the basis she would need a stronger mandate to negotiate Brexit.
"This government will guide the country through the crucial Brexit talks ... and deliver on the will of the British people by taking the United Kingdom out of the European Union", May said. Her motivation was to strengthen her government's hands on the eve of the talks with the European Union so as to ensure a smooth transition to a Britain-free EU but as things stand, it appears that the effect of the vote may be the opposite. "And our leader needs to take stock as well".
Discussing the election results with LBC's Nick Ferrari, Sugar said: "It's very, very surprising". EU Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said that "with a weak negotiating partner, there's the danger that the negotiations will go badly for both sides".
French doesn't think Brexit didn't really influence the outcome of the election for the Conservatives. The Conservatives "have lost their majority and the prime minister has lost all authority and credibility", said Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. But her party is deeply divided over what they want from Brexit and the result means British businesses still have no idea what trading rules they can expect in the coming years. Following David Cameron's Brexit debacle on June 23, 2016, this marks the second time in less than a year that an over-confident, Conservative Party leader has been wrongly convinced of the British electorate's readiness to support his or her political mandate. "Now let's get to work".
