  13. Davidson sought 'categoric' assurancepublished at 22:01 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has spoken to the BBC about the assurances she has been seeking from Theresa May about LGBTI rights and the DUP.

    The DUP opposes same-sex marriage, while Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where same-sex marriage is not legal.

    Ms Davidson, who is gay, told Reporting Scotland she had spoken to the prime minister this evening.

    Quote Message

    I was fairly straightforward with her. I told her there are number of things that count to me more than party. One of them is country, one of the others is LGBTI rights. I asked for a categoric assurance that if any deal or scoping deal was done with the DUP there would be absolutely no rescinsion of LGBTI rights in the rest of UK and Great Britain."

    Meanwhile, a source close to Ms Davidson told the BBC Theresa May "needs to remember there are more Scottish Conservatives than DUP MPs".

    BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said it was "the first open suggestion from a senior Conservative questioning the merits of the prime minister’s planned arrangement with the DUP".

  18. Was the 'dementia tax' the turning point?published at 21:38 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    BBC Question Time

    Political journalist Isabel Oakeshott says the way the Tories' social care policy was handled was "really disappointing".

    "It's far too important for party politics. We need cross party talks where we really get to grips with this problem, but it is too important for it to be labelled 'dementia tax' or 'death tax'," she says.

    Chris Grayling says the Conservatives have to "learn lessons" about how the social care policy came across to voters.

    "It is one of the great defining issues of our time. It will mean some difficult decisions. May wanted to be honest with the public," he says.

  20. Happy losers?published at 21:19 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    BBC Question Time

    Asked by a Question Time audience member why Labour is happy about losing the election, Labour peer Shami Chakrabarti says she isn't happy about the result - but says it shows "enormous appetite for change" among the electorate.

    "We ran a positive campaign," she says.

    Former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell says he's never happy when Labour lose but says Jeremy Corbyn ran a good campaign and should stay as leader.

    However, he says Labour should go "broad and wide" and appeal to a wider section of the electorate.

    "There's a lot more to do to get Labour back as a party of government," he adds.
