Erm, that's just it Shot. The PM WAS the leader of the Government and HAD a working majority last week that would have seen her through to 2020. Now she's the caretaker manager of the largest single party, no longer able to pass any legislation without outside assistance. In the process, Corbyn achieved the biggest increase in vote share of any Labour leader since 1945 and cemented his position against all the odds and predictions of electoral oblivion.
Given that the PM staked her personal name and reputation as the single factor able to deliver a credible govt, other than a bad day at the office I'm not sure what you would call it.
