New Covid curbs will be put in place, despite a rebellion by 100 Tory MPs.
The Plan B rules will require proof of vaccination or a negative test at large indoor venues in England, and were only passed by the government with help from the Labour opposition.
The rebellion was far larger than Number 10 was expecting and far exceeds the government’s parliamentary majority of 79. It also exceeds the 56 MPs needed to trigger a leadership challenge.
