From Trump to Brexit, globalisation is under threat, and it's the car industry that has the most to lose, writes Jamie Robertson.

The World Tonight

Labour voters in Hackney North and Stoke Newington constituency, one of the most pro-Remain in the country, are angry that their MP Diane Abbott missed the vote to trigger Article 50. 

Ruth told reporter Paul Moss that the shadow home secretary "bullied and hectored other MPs into voting to trigger article 50". 

Vishal said the reason cited for Ms Abbott's non-attendance was "a pathetic argument, akin to the dog ate my homework".   

The latest Commons debate on Brexit features on plenty of Wednesday's front pages (see below). 

There's more of this to come, with more amendments to be considered followed by a vote on the bill's third reading.

Also in the Commons, Theresa May takes on Jeremy Corbyn at PMQs.

An attempt to give MPs a decisive say on the terms of Brexit is defeated in a Commons vote.

The SNP's amendment fails, 333 votes for the noes and 79 for the ayes, a majority of 254.

So the bill escapes its second day of committee stage unamended. The committee will sit again tomorrow afternoon.

The Commons now moves on to tonight's adjournment debate on penalties for causing death or injury while driving, introduced by Labour's Wayne David.

The SNP's Patrick Grady has now been speaking for more than fifty minutes. He faces a flurry of complaints about "filibustering" from Labour and Conservative members, but his remarks are ruled in order, by the chair.

He’s been able to talk for so long because of the large number of amendments tabled by his party.

Labour's Mary Creagh says she hopes the House of Lords will be able to do the job that the House of Commons hasn't had time to do at committee stage, on issues like the environment which she says has barely been mentioned so far.

SNP MP Patrick Grady tells MPs that he hopes to push the SNP's new clause 43 to a vote.

This amendment requires the Prime Minister to publish an impact assessment of leaving the Customs Union (independently of decisions on the Single Market) in good time before Parliament votes on the final agreement. 

He argues that exiting the single market will mean "an enormous hit to the economy".

Labour's Chuka Umunna now speaks to his amendment which calls for the government to: "publish a report on the effect of EU withdrawal on the national finances, particularly health spending following claims in the referendum campaign that EU withdrawal would allow an additional £350 million per week to be spent on the NHS."

He quotes the Campaign Director of the Vote Leave campaign Dominic Cummings who said that the "£350m NHS argument" was necessary to win.

The Vote Leave campaign used the slogan: "We send the EU £350 million a week. Let's fund our NHS instead".

Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer reiterates his earlier assertion that the government has made a concession.

However, he says, there remain a number of unanswered questions.

He says he will not push Labour's new clause one - it is therefore not put to a vote. 

There's still plenty of action to come in the Commons - with votes on amendments to the Article 50 bill - but here's a recap of the main stories so far.

"I did not vote with my conscience," Conservative Anna Soubry says of her vote on the second reading of this bill.

Sounding slightly tearful, she adds that she is not sure if she voted in the best interests of her constituents.

However, she says she'll be "jiggered" if she is "not going to be true to my belief in parliamentary sovereignty". 

All we are asking, she says, is that this Parliament has a voice in the event that there is no deal. 

She warns that she may be left with no alternative but to vote against the government and support Labour MP Chris Leslie's amendment.

Chris Leslie's new clause 110 requires Parliament to approve "any new deal or treaty" following the "negotiations in respect of the triggering of Article 50".
