Tuesday's Commons vote on Brexit makes most of the front pages, with the i paper saying Theresa May's last-ditch deal with the rebels has bought her more time.

Under the headline, " May the Farce Be With You ," the Sun warns Mrs May left Remain MPs believing they had won a veto over Brexit and senior Brexiteers thinking the exact opposite.

Meanwhile, the junior minister who resigned over Brexit shortly before the vote, says there is growing evidence we're making the biggest "strategic error of our times"

Writing in the Times, Philip Lee, the Conservative MP for Bracknell - who backed Remain - says he has a serious duty to speak for his constituency.

In the Daily Mail, he is called a "turncoat" and accused of " rank treachery ".

"A summit worth celebrating" says the Daily Telegraph, as it praises US president Donald Trump for bringing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in from the cold.

It thinks this could be the first step towards "substantial change" and, citing Nixon and Reagan as examples, argues that conservatives often turn out to be the most effective peacemakers.

The Express also has praise for the American president , suggesting he should be awarded the Nobel peace prize.

But the Financial Times thinks Mr Trump delivered a " nasty surprise " to South Korea when he announced he'd cancel joint military exercises.

The remainder were allowed to go free because there's too little evidence to convict them. The Mail raises concerns over whether the authorities can keep track of all the dangerous extremists on our streets.

Bi-polar bard

Some papers pick up on a study suggesting the Scottish poet, Robert Burns, may have suffered from bipolar disorder - which causes moods to swing from one extreme to another.

Researchers at the University of Glasgow analysed hundreds of his letters and journals. They say there's evidence he had bouts of hyperactivity followed by periods of withdrawal and two letters met the modern criteria for clinical depression.

According to the Times, it's hoped the research will trigger a discussion on the links between mental illness and creativity.
