Theresa May told a gathering of Tory donors that although their party had lost its majority, there was one upside – it may have saved the Union

Theresa May will be remembered as the Slayer of the SNP dragon! – Archie Bunker

Whereas I’m delighted we won 12 seats it was the Nationalists’ implosion and not the Tory campaign which convinced the electorate. – Miniso
