UKIP's interim leader, Steve Crowther, claims Brexit is "now in jeopardy" and admits: "It's a very difficult time for us".

He says: "Although we won the referendum, we then had to pass the mandate to the British government. The next stage is for the British government to negotiate our exit and we don't have a role in that.

"We lent our vote to Mrs May and she wasted it."

Mr Crowther says he is "extremely concerned" that Mrs May has appointed lots of people into her core team "who are committed anti-Brexiteers".

But he insists that UKIP is now "resurgent", with "lots of strong candidates looking to throw their hats in the ring", in the upcoming leadership election.

He says Nigel Farage, who he describes as "a talismanic figure", is also considering it.

The UKIP leadership timetable will be announced later, he adds.

The EU's chief Brexit negotiator has urged the UK to begin talks "very quickly".

Michel Barnier warned that no progress had been made on the "extraordinarily complex" talks since Theresa May invoked Article 50 in March.

"I can't negotiate with myself," he told the Financial Times, external.

The Daily Politics

BBC2's Daily Politics is interviewing new MPs.

Emma Dent Coad, says she was "not at all" surprised she won the Conservative stronghold of Kensington for the Labour party.

She claims many people felt alienated by the electoral process and "a lot of Conservatives" who were "appalled by the inequalities in Kensington also voted for me".

Ms Dent Coad, who was born and bred in the constituency and has put her PhD on hold to be an MP, adds: "If we can turn Kensington red, we can do anything."

Christine Jardine says she was "confident" on polling night that she could take Edinburgh West for the Liberal Democrats.

The former BBC broadcaster says the "SNP's obsession with another independence referendum" helped win her the seat.

Westminster is full of eager and enthusiastic new MPs today… they’ll soon get that knocked out of them.

There are just shy of 100 new MPs and today is the first day of parliamentary business.

One told us he won’t get his own office for weeks, but no one seems to mind.

DUP leader Arlene Foster and her deputy Nigel Dodds have just entered Number 10 Downing Street.

Our assistant political editor Norman Smith, who is in Downing Street, shouted out: "Is there going to be a deal?", as another journalist asked: "What's your price?"

Their questions went unanswered though, as the pair turned to smile briefly at waiting photographers, before entering.

Enthusiastic Remainers have been quick to jump on the election result as their latest opportunity to mould the UK's departure from the EU.

The various lobby groups, including former ministers still close to some in government, have been whirring with chatter and tactical planning about how to get their voices heard. There are ideas about commissions or 'neddies' - groups of advisers from business and all political parties that met in years gone by.

Even senior Tories like the leader of the Scottish Conservatives, one of their few success stories at the moment, told us yesterday "it can't just be a Tory Brexit". On first hearing that is a staggering thing to hear from Tory lips.

But before Remainers get swept up in their moment, and their ambitions swell, it's worth pondering what possibly might be on the table, and what might not, give the usual caveats about the unpredictability of what might come next.

Gavin Lee, the BBC's Europe correspondent in Strasbourg, has been speaking to EU Parliament negotiator, Guy Verhofstadt.

Mr Verhofstadt says he's becoming impatient, and "everybody's waiting for the UK".

But interestingly, the "shambles" after the election is bringing the EU together, says Mr Verhofstadt

Asked if there was any chance that Brexit might not go ahead, he pointedly said Brexit would "absolutely" go ahead.

Gavin has also spoken to former UKIP leader Nigel Farage who says he's worried Britain will stay in the single market which was not his original vision for Brexit.

Brexit was "a revolutionary act" which will inspire other revolutionary acts, former Conservative attorney general Dominic Grieve has said.

The government now has to make people confident about their future to prevent the country "from lurching around from one crisis to another", he says.

Mr Grieve, who campaigned for Britain to remain in the EU, adds:

Theresa May should stay on as prime minister because it would be "immensely disruptive" to Brexit negotiations if there's a leadership contest or another general election, former Conservative leader Lord Michael Howard has said.

"Not only do I think she could stay - she should stay..." he says.

The Conservative peer says he hopes a deal is reached between the DUP and Mrs May.

But he concedes: "It's not an ideal situation - it's not where I hoped we'd be."

The falling pound is likely to cause inflation and erode spending power, says former HSBC economist Stephen King.

The Daily Politics

BBC political correspondent Eleanor Garnier says DUP leader Arlene Foster will want to return to Northern Ireland showing she has got something out of her deal with Theresa May.

Brexit will also be part of the negotiations and a particular focus will be on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic.

The Daily Politics

Jo Coburn is joined by the former Conservative leader Lord Howard to discuss the continuing fallout from the general election including Theresa May’s talks with DUP leaders and whether the government is preparing to soften its Brexit position.

This will be the last Daily Politics this week, with a Sunday Politics this weekend and the programme returns on Monday (if there is no Queen's Speech that day).
