Boris Johnson has suffered the biggest rebellion since he took power as almost 100 Tory MPs voted against his Covid Plan B.

The measures would introduce mandatory Covid passes in England, forcing people to prove their Covid-19 vaccination status or a recent negative test to gain entry to nightclubs and large venues.

The new health restrictions only passed in the Commons thanks to the support of Labour, with leader Keir Starmer saying it was his “patriotic duty” to back them.

However, the Prime Minister failed to quell a rebellion in his own party as a large number of Tory backbenchers defied the whip to vote against him, including former PM Theresa May.

The measures passed by 369 votes to 126, with the rebels including 96 Tory MPs.

It marks the largest rebellion since Mr Johnson took power in 2019, with his previous biggest revolt being in December 2020 when 55 Tory MPs voted against strengthening Covid-19 tier restrictions in England.

The revolt came despite Mr Johnson making a last-minute plea to the 1922 Committee of Tory backbenchers to try and convince them to back his plans.

Other measures under the government’s Covid Plan B also passed in the Commons, but the vote on Covid passes proved to be the biggest blow to Mr Johnson’s authority.

Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, treasurer of the 1922 Committee, warned that a leadership challenge has “got to be on the cards” next year if the Prime Minister does not change his approach.
