May said her campaign was not "perfect", but said she expected that her party would increase its majority. The prime minister said her husband Philip told her the result of the exit poll and gave her a hug to console her. "When the result came through it was complete shock," May said. May said she had not considered stepping down and declined to say how much longer she would remain in power. "I still see there is a lot that we need to do, and as prime minister I want to get on with that job of changing people's lives for the better," she said.
