Talks aimed at forming a Conservative government backed by the DUP continue today.

Talks aimed at forming a Conservative government backed by the DUP continue today, with Theresa May insisting she'll stay on as prime minister.

So where does the election leave us? The DUP are apparently now 'kingmakers', as they negotiate their price for bailing out Theresa May's fragile government majority. Meanwhile, talks are also due to get underway to restore the Stormont administration. So, what do you think of the election results - and where do we go from here? Well, one new face on the Westminster scene will be Sinn Fein's abstentionist MP for Foyle Elisha McCallion. She told me her focus will be on securing the best Brexit deal possible - but she also ruled her party out of going back into power with the DUP leader Arlene Foster.

The secretary of state James Brokenshire, who survived the cull of the cabinet reshuffle, is on the programme.
