Heidi Allen doesn’t see Theresa May staying as Prime Minister for longer than six months, the Conservative MP for South Cambridgeshire has said.

In a frank interview with LBC, Ms Allen said she does not think Ms May will remain Prime Minister "indefinitely" and her time at Number 10 could even be a "period of transition" as the UK negotiates Brexit.

"If this was any other election in any other time in our history you could say yes the Prime Minister needs to stand down, but this is different of course because we are about to start negotiating Brexit so that puts an entirely different complexion on that," she told LBC's Iain Dale.

"We do need a Prime Minister at this moment."

In reference to Ms May's speech outside Downing Street, Ms Allen, who was returned to the House of Commons with a majority of 15,952, added: "It's almost like she's unaware of what's happened in the past 24 hours.
