DUP to support minority British government after 'confidence and supply' deal reached

The 10 MPs from the party could prove crucial in supporting the Conservatives.

Theresa May looks set to be backed by the Democratic Unionist Party as she attempts to run a minority British government following her general election disaster.

Downing Street said an outline agreement on a "confidence and supply" arrangement had been reached which will be put to the cabinet for discussion on Monday.
