Yesterday May went to see the Queen, then stood in Downing Street and announced that, with the support of her friends the DUP, she was forming a new government. So where is it?
The government seems to have vanished. No ministers have been seen going in and out of Number Ten, as is normal at times like this. Not a single Cabinet minister has appeared in public or given an interview since the shock outcome of the election. Last night one of them,Chris Grayling, appeared on an election edition of Any Questions and if you listened to his answers with a seasoned political ear, he had no idea what was going on.
This Blog smells a rat. I think there might be a crisis. I am not sure the Cabinet is backing May. There are clues that all is not going to plan. She does everything without consulting colleagues. Well maybe this DUP thing is a step too far. Maybe the grandees will not run with this.
Perhaps it will be over sooner than we think.
