What the paper say - December 14
Brexit and Theresa May's "humiliating defeat" in the Commons is the focus of Thursday's papers.
In a damaging blow to the PM, 11 Tories rebelled on the Brexit Bill in a bid to ensure MPs have a "meaningful vote" on the EU withdrawal deal.
The Daily Mail leads with headshots of the 11 Conservative MPs who backed ringleader Dominic Grieve, whose amendment squeezed through on a majority of four.
The paper, under the headline "Proud of yourselves?", calls them "self-consumed malcontents" and accuses them of "treachery after siding with Labour".

The Guardian says the victory "heartened proponents of a soft Brexit", quoting Jeremy Corbyn who said the result was a "humiliating loss of authority for the government" ahead of Mrs May's trip to a Brussels summit.
Chris Froome also features on the front of the Guardian following news that the four-time Tour de France winner failed a drug test during the 2017 Vuelta a Espana. The cyclist says he did not break any rules.

Away from the dramatic scenes in the Commons, the Mirror leads on the news that Peter Kay has cancelled his 112-show tour. Under the headline "I'm so sorry", it quots the comic's statement in which he said the tour had been scraped due to "unforeseen family circumstances".
