Questions over Theresa May's future as election gamble backfires

British Prime Minister Theresa May faces a fight to hold on to her job as British voters denied her the stronger mandate she had sought to lead the country into divorce talks with the European Union.

With no clear winner emerging from yesterday’s parliamentary election, Ms May signalled she would fight on, despite being on course to lose her majority in the House of Commons.

Her Labour rival Jeremy Corbyn said she should step down.

With talks of unprecedented complexity on Britain's departure from the European Union due to start in just 10 days' time, there was uncertainty over who would form the next government and over the fundamental direction Brexit would take.
