Ouch! Prime Minister's Questions with Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May emphasised the isolation of a Tory leader with surely little time left in Downing Street.
Her squirming was painful when goaded by her own MPs over past denunciations of the Labour leader, changing her tune by refusing to scream he was "unfit to govern" or repeat last Wednesday's absurd charge that Corbyn was the "biggest threat" to Britain's standing in the world, economy and security.
The most partisan PM of recent decades, May in her desperation for Brexit support's legitimised a Labour rival she'd regularly smeared and many Tory MPs hate her for the volte-face.

Brexit second referendum 'will be looked at' by Theresa May, minister declares
Hiding today's talks with Corbyn in her Commons office to avoid TV cameras filming the alternative PM walking through Downing Street's famous black door is bad faith from May but won't spare her the wrath of her own party, particularly hardline no deal Brextremists.
People tempted to feel sorry for her should remember the Con Government's victims and reserve their sympathy for them, not mulish May.
Corbyn smartly sidestepped Brexit ahead of the meeting and listed rises in child, working and pensioner poverty since 2010 plus the broken Tory manifesto promise guaranteeing free TV licences for the over-75s.
The Left-wing rebel singing Tony Blair and Gordon Brown's greatest hits made me smile but they proved Corbyn has a progressive cause.
