June 13, 2017 21:19

Embattled British Prime Minister Theresa May today held negotiations with the Democratic Unionist Party to secure a deal for her Conservatives-

led minority government and urged lawmakers to "come together"

in the interest of national unity.

She hosted DUP leader Arlene Foster at Downing Street to thrash out the terms of the Northern Ireland party's backing and agreement to vote with the Tories on policies in the House of Commons to get bills through.

"Discussions are going well with the government and we hope soon to be able to bring this work to a successful conclusion," Foster said in a tweet after meeting May.

They met for over an hour even as former Conservative Prime Minister Sir John Major opposed any deal with DUP.
