On Tuesday, a vote will be held on Boris Johnson’s new Covid restrictions to tackle the Omicron variant. They will include vaccine passports for large gatherings, compulsory face masks in more places, and people being asked to work from home when they can (but told they can still go to parties).
When the health secretary Sajid Javid introduced the measures in the Commons this week, he was greeted with jeers and calls for him to ‘resign’ from his own party members. There is now a growing backbench rebellion against the government’s proposals, with numerous MPs publicly denouncing the winter restrictions, which they feel are a step too far in a society protected by what Boris Johnson once called the ‘huge wall of immunity’ from vaccines.
Below is the full list of Tory MPs who have so far promised or indicated they will vote against the measures. The list will be updated ahead of the vote. At present, it looks as if Johnson will need Labour’s support to pass his measures.
