Thoughtful and incisive article from Sky News. Excerpt here.

She has, perhaps for the first time, accepted changes in her Brexit strategy. For once, something has changed.
She is making it clearer that she will not permit no deal.
She is, for the first time, attempting to nationalise Brexit by reaching out to Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party, and making it clear that the political declaration, our future relationship, is up for grabs.
And she went further, saying that if she and Mr Corbyn cannot reach agreement then she will hand over the job to parliament to try to reach a decision on the future relationship.
She has accepted a further extension of Article 50 might be necessary.
Rhetorically, the shift is starker still. Having previously tried only to keep the Conservative Party together, to exclude the rest of parliament, she talked now of national unity, in the national interest.
At the eleventh hour, for those who have long wanted her to transcend party interest and talk only of country, she has finally done so.
But the true test of statecraft is in deeds, not words. We are yet to see if she will compromise on her fabled red lines, yet to see if she is truly prepared to lessen Conservative Party objectives.
Much will depend on the attitude of Jeremy Corbyn. He will likely find it hard to resist his party's demand that any deal is put back to the people in a ratification referendum.
