The Election: what an unmitigated disaster! An alliance with the DUP: what a piece of uncomfortable sticking plaster! Is this the way forward? Just look at the alternative: a surely unworkable multi-coalition under Jeremy Corbyn. It’s true that he cleaned up nicely and was effective during the campaign. But what do he and his socialist colleagues have in mind? Hardly bears thinking about!

The Tory/DUP alliance won’t survive long. Then what? It’s a mess. What I conclude is that the sensible but not very shrewd Mrs May was incredibly badly advised by Ms Hill and Mr Timothy. They have gone but who will replace them? Is Theresa up to the role of Brexit negotiations?

As for Ms Caviar, she must surely be on the way out. Arguably too sure of herself. Oh dear, maybe it will be Ruth Davidson from the Tory party in Scotland who will emerge as primus inter pares.

Finally, Kensington and Chelsea!! To paraphrase ‘to lose one seat may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose Kensington and Chelsea looks like carelessness’.
