Theresa may britains Prime Minister, at least for the moment has been meeting conservative Party Leaders and she had a lot of explaining to do. May apologised repeatedly for last weeks Election Result. According to one mp who was in the meeting, she said, im the person who got us into this mess. Im going to get us out of it. I will serve she told them as long as you want me. We can speak to rob watson In Westminster. I will serve you as long as you want me . That doesnt suggest she will be around for long.
