Your last sentence makes no sense TBH, Blair was a Tory with a red tie.
Cos the Tories were chomping at the bit to introduce greater Maternity/Paternity and adoption leave & pay, they craved introducing legislation legitamising LGBT relationships and were desperate to introduce a national minimum wage all while protecting the NHS and building dozens and dozens of new, fit for purpose schools.
 
Blair introduced a national minimum wage, enshrined LGBT rights, heavily funded the NHS including setting up Sure Start centres and constantly extolled the virtues of immigration and Europe.

He was absolutely NOT a Tory in a red tie.
Child and family tax credits, free nursery places, and a windfall tax on utilities, a few more off the top of my head . More Labour than a lot of Labour supporters will admit to themselves.

Gave the banks free reign, saw quantitive easing hit never seen before heights, oversaw a huge property bubble and let regulation go to shit.

will you fuck off beating me to it ;)
 
Jonathan Powell former chief of Staff to Tony Blair who worked on peace negotiations appealing to Tories not to go into an alliance with DUP as UK Govt is meant to avoid taking a side in NI
 
So what happens next.
My guess would be queens speech gets passed. Brexit negotiations start and then when everything is underway May steps down and a new Tory leader is elected. One of: David Davis, Bojo or a.n.other. It will be managed as an accession all agreed internally before it happens.

Apparently Davis is now under a cloud. The early election was mainly his idea and he was a prominent member of May's inner circle during the campaign.
