MPs have given the green light to Covid passports for some indoor settings with a vote of 369 to 126 – but dozens of Tories opposed Boris Johnson.
Boris Johnson suffered a big revolt against the measure from 96 Conservative MPs and two Tory tellers, amounting to the biggest rebellion he faced in his time as prime minister.
Other MPs who opposed the passports in nightclubs and large venues were Green Party MP Caroline Lucas, Independent MPs Jeremy Corbyn and Rob Roberts, six DUP, eight Labour and 10 Liberal Democrats.
Broxbourne’s Tory MP Charles Walker said Johnson’s Covid passports were a “bridge too far” from his “huge support”.
“It was a cry of pain from the Conservative Party,” Walker told the BBC.
Among the rebels who opposed Johnson was Tory Louie French, the newest Tory MP.
