British Prime Minister Theresa May should consider her position following a "dreadful" election campaign which is expected to see her Conservative Party lose its parliamentary majority, an MP from her party says.

"She's in a very difficult place, she's a remarkable and a very talented woman and she doesn't shy from difficult decisions, but she now has to obviously consider her position," Anna Soubry told the BBC.

"Theresa did put her mark on this campaign, she takes responsibility as she always does, and I know she will, for the running of the campaign."
