Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn finally sat down for Brexit talks today - hours after clashing bitterly over at PMQs.
The leaders met in Mrs May's Commons office after he finally dropped his refusal to engage in cross-party efforts to find a way through the crisis.
Mr Corbyn was filmed walking through Parliament on the way to the rendezvous- although it is taking place in private, depriving him of the chance to strike a pose outside the famous No10 door.
Earlier, Mrs May and Mr Corbyn brutally laid into each other in a particularly bad-tempered Commons session - with each accusing the other of scuppering the chances of a deal with the EU.
At one point as they traded blows, Mr Corbyn jibed that he was 'looking forward' to their talks later.
And when he accused her of refusing to compromise, Mrs May retorted: 'He’s a fine one to talk about coming together when it was only last night when he agreed to actually meet me to talk about these issues.'

Mr Corbyn was finally forced to climb down over his refusal to hold talks with Mrs May after an humiliating set of Commons votes last night.
In a dire night for Mr Corbyn, 14 of his own MPs voted against a proposal he backed to keep Britain in the EU beyond March 29 if no deal is agreed by the end of the month.
Most of the rebels represent constituencies that voted Leave in the 2016 referendum.
An amendment pushing Labour's Brexit policy was then roundly defeated, before Mrs May's plan for returning to Brussels and renegotiating the Irish backstop was passed - with support from seven Labour MPs.
Mr Corbyn only ended up on the winning side in a non-binding vote against a no deal Brexit.
A series of frontbenchers did not register a vote on the Cooper plan to delay Article 50, including Melanie Onn, Mike Kane, and Gloria de Piero.
MailOnline understands none of them had permission to be absent. Tory sources confirmed that they were not 'paired' with other MPs - the mechanism for balancing out votes when people cannot attend the Commons.
Speaking at PMQs today, Mr Corbyn said: 'I'm looking forward to meeting the Prime Minister later on today.
'Because I want to put forward Labour's alternatives which could command a majority in this House and are about protecting jobs and people's living standards across this country.'
He complained that Mrs May seemed to be putting her faith in technology to solve the Irish border issue.
'So can the Prime Minister be very clear what technological advances is she expecting to be made in the next 58 days?' he sniped.
Mrs May shot back: 'Last night a majority in this House voted to maintain the commitment to no hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland.
'To leave the European Union with a deal. And to set out to the European Union what it will take to ensure that this House can support a deal.
'That is a change to the backstop. That is what I will be taking back to the European Union. That is what we will be doing to ensure that we can avoid no deal.'
She added: 'He stands up regularly and says he doesn't want no deal.
'I'm working to ensure we get a deal.
'He has opposed every move by this Government to get a deal. He's the one who's risking no deal.'

Tuesday night's seven amendments: What did MPs vote on and what were the results?
MPs faced a choice of seven Plan Bs for Brexit in the Commons on Tuesday night as the Government scrambles for a way forward on Brexit.
Sir Graham Brady's amendment demanding changes to the backstop in the divorce deal won the support of the House of Commons after it was endorsed by Theresa May.
The hope is that securing a majority for the demand will demonstrate to Brussels that the deal can pass if the backstop is legally time limited.
Remain supporters backed a plan from Yvette Cooper to block no deal by delaying Brexit if there is not an agreement by February 26, but the amendment was rejected.
The House also backed an amendment from Caroline Spelman which rejected a no-deal Brexit but without a clear plan for avoiding one.
Other amendments from Tory Dominic Grieve Labour's Rachel Reeves, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and SNP leader Ian Blackford were rejected.
SIR GRAHAM BRADY'S PLAN TO FIX THE BACKSTOP BY DEMANDING CHANGES FROM THE EU - BACKED BY MAY
WHAT IT DOES: Proposes replacing the Northern Ireland backstop with 'alternative arrangements' to avoid a hard border. Also supports leaving with a deal.
WHOSE PLAN? Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee.
HOW IT WORKS: Allows Mrs May to go to Brussels and say the EU must make concessions on the backstop or get rid of it.
DID IT SUCCEED? Yes - MPs backed the plan by 317 votes to 301.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? Mrs May will go to Brussels and say changing the backstop would save her deal.
YVETTE COOPER'S PLAN TO DELAY BREXIT IF THERE IS NOT A DEAL
WHAT IT DOES: Forces ministers to extend Article 50 beyond March 29 to stop No Deal.
WHOSE PLAN? Labour's Yvette Cooper, former Tory ministers Nick Boles and Sir Oliver Letwin.
HOW IT WORKS: Ministers lose the power to decide what is debated on February 5, which passes to backbench MPs. Miss Cooper proposes a law forcing Mrs May to ask for a delay on Brexit if No Deal is agreed by February 26.
DID IT SUCCEED? No - MPs rejected the plan by 321 votes to 298.
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED NEXT? Mrs May would have lost control of Brexit with No Deal off the table.
DOMINIC GRIEVE'S PLAN TO HAND POWER TO MPS
WHAT IT DOES: Give control over Parliamentary business to MPs.
WHOSE PLAN? Dominic Grieve QC, former attorney general and ardent Remainer, and MPs who want a second referendum.
HOW IT WORKS: Government loses power over the Commons every Tuesday from February 12 to March 26 so backbench MPs could vote on Brexit. Could delay Article 50 or change the deal to include a customs union or second referendum.
DID IT SUCCEED? No - MPs rejected the plan by 321 votes to 301.
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED NEXT? A second referendum would have been the most likely outcome.
DAME CAROLINE SPELMAN'S PLAN TO RULE OUT NO DEAL
WHAT IT DOES: Stops the UK leaving without a deal.
WHOSE PLAN: Former Tory Cabinet minister Caroline Spelman and Labour MP Jack Dromey.
HOW IT WORKS: Rejects No Deal.
DID IT SUCCEED? Yes - MPs backed the plan by 318 votes to 310.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? Mrs May's main bargaining chip is weakened but there is no means of enforcing the vote.
RACHEL REEVES' PLAN TO DELAY BREXIT IF THERE IS NO DEAL
WHAT IT DOES: Just like the Cooper plan, this demands the Government ask for an extension to Article 50 if there is no deal by February 26 - but does so only in political terms without trying to change the law.
WHOSE PLAN: Labour MP Rachel Reeves
HOW IT WORKS: Makes a political statement to put pressure on the Government.
DID IT SUCCEED? No - MPs rejected the plan by 322 votes to 290.
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED NEXT? Mrs May's main bargaining chip would have been limited by a new deadline - hampering her hopes of changing the deal.
JEREMY CORBYN'S PLAN TO FUDGE THE VOTE BY DEMANDING CHANGE BUT HINTING AT A REFERENDUM
WHAT IT DOES: Demands changes to the deal and hints at a second referendum.
WHOSE PLAN? Corbyn, Labour frontbench.
HOW IT WORKS: Ministers must let Parliament discuss No Deal, and proposes staying in a permanent customs union. If that fails, it suggests a second referendum.
DID IT SUCCEED? No - MPs rejected the plan by 327 votes to 296.
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED NEXT? A second referendum would become the most likely outcome of Brexit.
IAN BLACKFORD'S PLAN TO MAKE A POINT ABOUT SCOTLAND
WHAT IT DOES: Notes that the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and Commons all voted against the deal and Scotland voted Remain
WHOSE PLAN? SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford
HOW IT WORKS: Makes a political declaration about Scotland's right to determine its own future.
DID IT SUCCEED? No - MPs rejected the plan by 327 votes to 39.
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED NEXT? Nothing.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
