The controversial Democratic Unionist Party could play a vital role in propping up Theresa May's Conservative government.

Despite only wining 10 seats, the right wing Northern Ireland party now holds significant sway as Mrs May looks to scrape together a ruling majority.

"The impact that they could have, the influence that they could have is something that's being watched very, very closely indeed."
