British Prime Minister Theresa May says she has to win a "battle of ideas" in Parliament and the country after losing her majority in last month's election.

In a speech both conciliatory and defiant, May urged her political opponents to contribute their "views and ideas" to help shape policy.

May spoke nearly a year after taking office, and just over a month after she suffered a setback from voters in a snap election.

May was speaking at the launch of a report on how to guarantee protections for the growing number of workers in the "gig economy.
