    Former Scottish Labour leader Iain Gray said "it is inconceivable how Theresa May can continue."

    Speaking on the John Beattie programme on Radio Scotland, Mr Gray said she took a "catastrophic decision" for a "calamitous campaign" and now she is in a "completely untenable position".

    He said she is now in a position "which could hardly be weaker or less stable" and it is difficult to see how she can sustain that.
