The prime minister is the prime minister - Rees-Moggpublished at 04:27 British Summer Time 9 June 2017
Election 2017
Conservative Jacob Rees-Mogg says he believes Theresa May will be continuing with the Brexit negotiations following the election.
"The prime minister is the prime minister," he says.
He claims the election was "inevitable" following the Brexit vote and the arrival of a new prime minister in Mrs May.
"It's not a disaster, but it's not as good as it could've been," he says, commenting on the election so far.
He accuses the Tory former chancellor George Osborne of "throwing rocks" at the situation.

'Tories debate what to do about PM tomorrow'published at 04:25 British Summer Time 9 June 2017
Election 2017BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg says there are conversations going on among Conservatives about what to do tomorrow about Theresa May.
"One former minister has said to me they find it hard to see how she can stay after this result," she says.
It will depend on the final numbers - whether, with Northern Ireland votes, she can "comfortably" stay in government.
"One minister is urging people to have a good night's sleep and a solution will be found that does not involve having another election."
Laura adds there are going to be "some real strains" inside the Tory party "about wheher or not they should take a different course of action".

Snap elections are a risk too farpublished at 04:22 British Summer Time 9 June 2017
Professor John Curtice
Polling expertThis is the third post-war snap election called unexpectedly before a party's term of office had come to an end.
On the two previous occasions in 1970 and February 1974 the PM and the party lost office. While there is no other conceivable administration in the new parliament other than a Conservative led one, it remains to be seen whether the PM will retain her position.
Although Labour will be delighted at having apparently denied the Conservatives an overall majority, their own success should not be exaggerated. The estimated tally of 267 seats is only nine up on the tally that the party won in 2010 when Gordon Brown's office was ejected from office.
Labour are still a long way away from winning a majority for themselves.
