What the papers say – March 30
The third rejection of Theresa May’s Brexit deal on the day Britain was supposed to leave the European Union leads the bulk of Saturday’s papers.
Several also feature presenters Declan Donnelly and Ant McPartlin, who said they considered ending their partnership over the latter’s drink-driving conviction last year.
Leading with Brexit, The Guardian says Mrs May is going to bring her deal back to Parliament again after it was rejected by MPs.
