Full list of Tory MPs set to rebel against vaccine passports

Dozens of Tory MPs are set to rebel against prime minister Boris Johnson’s new Covid restrictions to tackle the Omicron variant.

In a vote to be held on Tuesday at least 76 Conservatives are set to vote against their boss’s measures, which include vaccine passports for large gatherings, compulsory face coverings in more places and working from home where possible.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid was told by other Tory colleagues to resign when he announced the plans last week.

Boris Johnson ‘has become an obstacle’, Tories say

Johnson has been facing increased backlash from Tory politicians at both local and national level.

Conservative campaigners in the North Shropshire by-election said the prime minister has become an obstacle, and that they are repeatedly criticised by people on the doorstep because of several controversies the prime minister has been involved in – the latest of which are allegations of a Downing Street Christmas party and a quiz hosted by Johnson during last winter’s lockdown.

Meanwhile, a senior Tory MP also told The Independent that if the Tories lose the by-election, Johnson “would be in huge trouble”.

“A by-election loss will damage the idea of him as an election winner,” they said. “The public haven’t historically applied the same rules to him but that is fading away.”
