May gets stay of execution; ready to rethink Brexit tack
She's set to meet DUP leader to hammer out deal on forming government
London
UK Prime Minister Theresa May bought herself a stay of execution by apologising to her own lawmakers for the election debacle as she prepared to meet Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionists (DUP) to secure the votes needed to prop up her minority government.
She told Conservative lawmakers that she takes full responsibility for the disastrous result, which cost the party its majority, and will stay on only for as long as she's needed. She also signalled she's willing to rethink her approach to Brexit.
