A Facebook post from May 20th claiming that if the Conservatives lose just six seats Jeremy Corbyn will become PM has come back to bite Theresa May on the arse after she lost more than five times that amount.
The Tories have lost 26 seats to the Labour Party and five to the Liberal Democrats with one seat still to declare.
May has decided to carry on regardless, relying on the help of the DUP to form a government.
But that’s not the picture she painted at the end of May.
If I lose just six seats I will lose this election and Jeremy Corbyn will be sitting down to negotiate with Europe: https://t.co/OwbfDseOJh

In yet ANOTHER U-turn the PM said that “if she lost just six seats she will lose this election, and Jeremy Corbyn will be sitting down to negotiate with the presidents, prime ministers and chancellors of Europe.”
She added: “The prospect of him [Jeremy Corbyn] walking through the door of Number 10, flanked by John McDonnell and Diane Abbott and propped up by the Liberal Democrat and nationalist parties, should scare us all.
“And make no mistake, it could happen. The cold hard fact is that if I lose just six seats I will lose this election, and Jeremy Corbyn will be sitting down to negotiate with the presidents, prime ministers and chancellors of Europe.”
