Theresa May is clinging to power, but she must know the clock is ticking.

Having called a snap election with the aim of boosting her parliamentary support, she’s been left trying to scrape a majority with the help of the Democratic Unionist Party — a homophobic, anti-abortion party with a history of support for loyalist paramilitaries. The DUP, for their part, seem to be reveling in their role as kingmaker. They’ve taken every opportunity available to publicly humiliate May: contradicting her after she prematurely announced a deal, publicly calling on her to show respect and expressing dismay at the “level of negotiating experience” in her government.

The Queen’s Speech went ahead, of course. The DUP aren’t about to help Corbyn gain power. His history of support for Irish reunification makes him beyond the pale. Even had the DUP abstained the Tories have just enough MPs to push them over the line. But their position is far from comfortable. Opinion polls are already showing that were an election held tomorrow, Labour would win. And Jeremy Corbyn is now far more popular with the British public than Theresa May.
