CRINGE ON CUE
Excruciating moment baffled Theresa May struggles to play pool while hoping for Brexit big break
The PM laughed to the Italian Prime Minster: 'I'll have a lot of support but I'll be hopeless.'
THERESA May drops the ball again as she struggles to play a game of pool against the Italian Prime Minister.
The embattled PM had to be shown how to hold a cue at the EU-Arab summit in the cringe-worthy footage.

Mrs May was joined by Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte in the game and told him: "I'll have a lot of support but I'll be hopeless.
"You'll have to show me how."
The PM - dubbed Maybot because of her awkward demeanour - had her aides step in to help her.
But it's a mystery whether she managed to pot anything as Mr Conte ended the footage - posted to his Twitter - before she took her shot.
The pool game comes as Mrs May attempts to make a big break on her Brexit deal.
MAYBOT
She has joined a host of European and Arab leaders- including Angela Merkel - in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, for the summit.
Mrs May has attended meetings with Donald Tusk and King Salman.
On Sunday she ruled out the possibility of putting new Brexit deal to a vote in the House of Commons next week.
But
Last week Amber Rudd, David Gauke and Greg Clark told the Daily Mail they would be prepared to defy the PM and vote for a delay.
My job is not only about delivering Brexit, actually there’s a domestic agenda that I am delivering on.
Theresa May
Mrs May still stands by her word that Britain will leave the EU - with or without a deal.
She said that one would be held by 12 March, cutting it fine as the UK prepares to leave on 29 March.
On the way to Egypt she said: ";I was very clear in December with the Conservative Party as far as I am concerned ... my job is not only about delivering Brexit, actually there’s a domestic agenda that I am delivering on.

“It reflects what I said on the doorstep of Number 10 when I first became prime minister. That’s why we’ve been making key decisions, like the extra money for the National Health Service, the long term plan for the National Health Service and there is still a domestic agenda that I want to get on with.”
