70 Strong Tory Rebellion to Vote Against ‘Plan B’ Today – But Labour Intends to Back the Government
The Government face its largest backbench rebellion since the Conservatives won the 2019 general election, with roughly 70 Tory MPs expected to vote against the Government’s new ‘Plan B’ restrictions intended to stop the spread of the Omicron variant. These new measures include imposing mask mandates on most indoor settings, compulsory vaccination for NHS staff by April 2022, as well as requiring the use of the Covid pass in order to enter certain public venues. Despite this backbench backlash, Labour has pledged to support the Government, which will ensure that ‘Plan B’ passes the House of Commons. BBC News has more.
Around 70 Conservatives are expected to vote against plans to introduce mandatory Covid passes to enter large venues such as nightclubs.
The PM calls them a sensible response to rising Omicron cases – but the plan has sparked civil liberties concerns.
The measure is still likely to pass, as Labour plans to vote for them.
It would mean that from Wednesday, people will have to prove they are fully vaccinated or have a negative lateral flow test to enter large venues.
In a series of votes in the House of Commons on Tuesday afternoon, MPs will also vote on: a new regulation making it compulsory to wear a face covering in most indoor settings, except for pubs and restaurants. A measure allowing fully-vaccinated people who have been exposed to a positive Covid case to avoid self-isolation if they take daily lateral flow tests, and receive a negative result, as well as making it compulsory for frontline NHS and social care staff to be fully vaccinated from April 2022.
Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab told the BBC he hoped the measures would mean “we go into this Christmas in a very different position to last year” and “people can feel reassured” about the their festive plans.
He added that the new Covid passes were not “an unreasonable thing” to ask of people to enter large venues, adding: “I would do it voluntarily.”
The Covid pass measure has proved controversial on the government’s own benches, with one Conservative MP, Marcus Fysh, telling the BBC it was “the thin end of an authoritarian wedge”.
Another Conservative, Andrea Leadsom, said one of her constituents was now “now less afraid of Covid than she is of intrusive and incoherent Government regulations”.
Johnson sought to reassure his colleagues, describing the measures as “balanced and proportionate”, but added there was “no room for complacency”.
The BBC estimates around 70 Conservative MPs are expected to vote against the introduction of Covid passes, which would be the biggest backbench rebellion against the prime minister since he won a Commons majority at the 2019 election.

Two cheeks of the same spotty arse. But hey, “it’s only temporary” said my MP yesterday.
Ask him how the repeal of the “only temporary” Napoleonic income tax is going?
The 70mph speed limit on motorways was a temporary measure too…
“All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.”
From vaxx passports it’s just a small step toward this…

Make no mistake… this is the day the false mask of democracy in the UK finally drops.
Paper passports for international travel were also a temporary measure in WWI and the League of Nations was supposed to repeal them. https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/all-freedom-will-be-lost-when-the
Life looks more ‘temporary’ by the day!
Since when was it never thus?
Yeah, like they built a flyover near where I grew up in the early 70s, and got round the full planning permission by calling it (with signage) a ‘temporary flyover’.
It’s still there 50 years on.
Digbeth?
She’s Ok, but wouldn’t go as far as saying I dig her
I meant this one:
https://www.romfordrecorder.co.uk/lifestyle/half-a-century-of-gallows-flyover-3260772
Supposed to be for around 15 years, had its 50th birthday last year.
These ‘temporary’ flyovers were rolled out all over the place from the 1960s.
Here is the Hansard Parliamentary record from 1967:
Sir R. Russell asked the Minister of Transport if she will give details of the temporary flyover opened at Barking recently; and what plans she has for erecting more temporary flyovers at other congested road junctions.
Mr. Swingler: This temporary flyover is intended to reduce delays by enabling trunk road traffic on A13 to pass over the roundabout junction with Movers Lane.The structure was developed from one of the prize winning designs in a competition organised by the Department to find the best type of temporary flyover having regard to speed of erection and dismantling, adaptability for use elsewhere, appearance and low cost….We are ready to consider requests from highway authorities for grant towards the cost of such temporary structures on principal roads.
This only temporary rule is taking the piss. One mp said it will be scrapped at the end of January and Javid said from February you need to have a booster to use a vaccine passport! There’s no way they’ve spent this much on something for short term. This has been in the offing from the start and we the conspiracy theorist predicted it!
The WEF/WHO/UN/G7 global vaxx passports agenda push-through guarantees many more cases of ‘rare’ VITT – vaccine induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia.

Dial in that post any jab your natural immunity plummets for at least two to three weeks….
So how does screaming boosters…. booosters…. booooosters… make any health benefit sense?
Can you tell what it is yet?
….until you are dead!
Dead of anything other than vaccinations, of course.
We should all compare our MPS scripted responses to see how similar they are (probably pre-written and provided by “Conservative” HQ), because my facilitator MP’s response used those same words. He’s not once voted against Pfeffel – he’s a pathetic career politician who pretends to have principles.
Before You Inject Your Child My name is Robert Malone, and I am speaking to you as a parent, grandparent, physician and scientist. I don’t usually read from a prepared speech, but this is so important that I wanted to make sure that I get every single word and scientific fact correct. I stand by this statement with a career dedicated to vaccine research and development. I’m vaccinated for COVID and I’m generally pro-vaccination. I have devoted my entire career to developing safe and effective ways to prevent and treat infectious diseases. Before you inject your child – a decision that is irreversible – I wanted to let you know the scientific facts about this genetic vaccine, which is based on the mRNA vaccine technology I created: There are three issues parents need to understand: ● The first is that a viral gene will be injected into your children’s cells. This gene forces your child’s body to make toxic spike proteins. These proteins often cause permanent damage in children’s critical organs, including ○ Their brain and nervous system ○ Their heart and blood vessels, including blood clots ○ Their reproductive system ○ And this vaccine can trigger fundamental changes to… Read more »
Thank you – I’ve just sent a copy to my MP (who is one of the rebels) and asked him to share it with his colleagues.
Why would anyone listen to the guy who actually invented the technology, when you have an ex. Pharma , second rate quack, who’s on the telly telling you it’s safe an effective.
No contest.
most people only get the opportunity to listen to the charlatans presented to them by the BBC, Sky News, and the rest of the agenda driven MSM
Malone was one of the contributors to mRNA technology back in the early 2000’s. He never invented or developed a human vaccine in his life.
And neither have Pfizer, Moderna or J&J invented an anti viral mRNA vaccine in their corporate lives. Very odd you do not mention that, but then again you are the High Priest Of Being Insincere According To Truth.
Is this some kind of nitpicking over the meaning of “vaccine” or nitpicking over the meaning of “invented”? (Setting aside J&J which is a viral vector vaccine).
Hahaha – no, just trying to establish that you know better than the manufacturers – apart from J&J, who still have not invented a mRNA “vaccine…… – which you clearly think you do. Don’t know why you don’t refer to Pfizer and Moderna jabs as cell gene editing therapies, but then you are desperately trying to hold the line that these two jabs are indeed “vaccines”. And failing every time; but don’t take my non scientific word for it; very many eminent scientists have described these drugs very differently – or maybe you do not consider it possible for these drugs to edit genes.. So no not nitpicking, just a desire for “sincerity according to truth” but to a Psychologist, your use of the term is a verbal Rohrsach test. You clearly want to believe these drugs are vaccines but the effects thereof which are totally antithetical to health demonstrate they are not – and in addition you wish to ignore exactly what terminology the manufacturer(s) use. If a drug codes your immune system to produce a version of the S1 spike protein, trillions thereof – which your body never produces naturally and which is toxic thereto, in the hope… Read more »

A gene in a eukaryotic organism like us is normally consider to be a segment of DNA either on a chromosome in the nucleus or in the mitochondria. The mRNA injections (to use a neutral term) do not change either. I cannot find a reference, even from the likes of Malone, suggesting that the injections in any way modify your genes in any of your cells. If you have one, I would be glad to read it.
Why is he limiting this warning to children when all the dangers listed above are the same for anyone?
maybe he sees children as the most immediate emergency priority, and any parents reading the letter may put 2 & 2 together and work it out
Too late for 80%+ of the grown ups…
You are absolutely right and I agree with you – but people are usually super-protective where their children are concerned more than they are about themselves – so maybe he is hoping that by framing his message toward his concerns about jabbing children then just maybe parents and eventually the public will then also start raising questions about adult safety too and finally snap out of this spell they all appear to be under at the moment and become aware of the risks involved every time their children are jabbed and jabbed themselves too..
Absolutely despicable. This is utterly immoral, wholly irrational, and I pray that I live to see every one of these criminals face justice. I hate these people with a passion I never knew I possessed.
I couldn’t agree more. Our prayer group wrote to Welby in July to ask him to make a categorical statement opposing the so-called ‘Vaccine Passports’. We received a mealy-mouthed response from one of his courtiers, virtually by return of email which told us that there had been several letters on the subject already. The response stated that ‘only in exceptional circumstances would the Church (of England) require such things for admission to services’. Wind the clock on to November and what do we find? Bishop of Durham (or maybe the Dean of Durham Cathedral) now requires them for admission to Christmas services. Since when has a Christmas Service constituted ‘exceptional circumstances’? Has Welby said anything about this? Throughout the whole of this crisis the Church’s attitude has been pathetic and useless. When Johnson announced the new ‘mask mandates’ (hate that term) on December 8th why did not Welby ring up Johnson and DEMAND that ‘Places of Worship’ be excluded? Welby could have squashed a lot of this nonsense straightaway, but he chose not to do so. Great Christians of the past have faced down Emperors, Popes, Princes, Politicians and many others, often at great personal risk. This bunch are so… Read more »
Amen, brother. This sorry excuse for Christians moved deftly from Wokeism to Safeism. It was a natural step, and in retrospect we ought not be surprised. They were bound to acquiesce to the authoritarian and tyrannical decrees of the regime.
The English and Scottish divines would be astonished at the ease with which these professing Christians have caved to the authorities. It’s an embarrassment and an utter disgrace. They will have to give an answer to God. I’d hate to be in their shoes.
‘This bunch are so wet and wimpish that they couldn’t order a five-year old child about.’
In the words of Edmund Blackadder, this lot are wetter than a fish’s wet bits.
Welby, and a lot of the C of E clergy, are barely Christians at all, let alone “Great”. If they once had a sense of vocation, of a calling to religious service to their fellow-mankind, it’s mostly disappeared. They are now a dismal, middle-managerial bunch, who might just as easily swap places with the vile politicians, or the doctors, now also without ethics.
While I broadly agree with you, we must remember that there 7,000 who have not bowed down to Baal.
The characteristics required to get to senior positions in the CofE are pretty much identical to those required to succeed in politics!
Passports are the gateway for Satan. The Church is rationalising evil on a monumental scale. I speak as a fellow Christian.
‘Enter through the narrow way’: well, those opposed to this evil are certainly doing that, aren’t we?
You know, these things would make quite a good mark of the beast…
Christmas Carols at a church 17 miles from us – the ‘unvaccinated’ are NOT permitted to attend.
Finnish Lutheran Church.
The ‘unvaccinated’ in Finland are already being pissed upon by their government and denied services and entry to buildings.
I know this sounds mad, but we’ll go to the pyre in groups singing psalms, and joyful.
I am sorry to say this, but I don’t think it is mad at all. God’s judgement is sweeping through this land and through Western civilisation and the results will not be pretty.
When Jerusalem fell in 587 BC (I think that was the date), Israel was left with nothing. There is a dismal picture of the devastation in Lamentations, which our Greek group has been reading from the Septuagint. It is unfortunate that the Septuagint is not a good translation and has numerous mistakes.
The exile lasted 70 years, which is why I think that this will end in 2090.
We need to be prepared.
Agreed. I have accepted God’s will for my life, whatever it turns out to be. As St. Padre Pio said: ‘pray, hope and don’t worry’.
I think St Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians is very relevant here: …’because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.’
Welby like the Pope is an ardent globalist. The church wants us dead and soon, but only to save the planet you understand. So just be grateful and roll up your sleeve.
The Church of England is the most odious organisation I have ever had the misfortune to be involved with. Its priorities are money and power, and the senior figures are every bit as unprincipled and slippery as most polticians.
The CofE will act in what it sees as its own best interests – and absolutely won’t give a toss about all those adversely affected.
Fake Tories are voting in the coalition Labour Government.
TINOs
Exactly as per my prediction yesterday. I’dalso put good money on many of those Tory MPs ‘rebelling’ doing so with permission, because Boris & Co know full well that Labour is, as the article states, going to support the government on this, as they want the restrictions and more. Some of these ‘rebel’ Tory MPs are just virtue-signalling to their constituents (especially in ‘red wall’ areas) in order to keep their jobs come the next general Election.
I’d estimate that the number of true rebels (i.e. those who would’ve voted no whatever they were told or the consequences) numbers less than 20.
This is why we need the Reform / UKIP / Reclaim / Heritage parties to come together under one unified banner and for them to persuade as many of the Tory rebels to defect en-masse whilst they are sitting MPs.
We are this close to following the likes of France Germany, Austria and NZ/Australia’s approach to the current Pandemic situation, and frankly if we go down that very dark path, the way back will be very long and VERY painful.
Yeah. Boris and his ministers have been out and about casting those who have chosen not to be vaccinated as scapegoats for when they cancel Christmas. It is quite dangerous for a politician to scapegoat a sizeable minority of the population telling the majority that the minority is the cause of their current woes. It is a dark path that many societies have taken and it often ends in violence.
A true rebel would use today’s vote to resign in disgust
Exactly. Too many value their jobs and positions of power and priviledge.
Honourable (members) my back side.
At a candidates’ forum in the 49th Congressional District, Libertarian John Walner fired a new broadside. “Politicians are like diapers,” Wallner observed. “They both should be changed often. And for the same reason.”
((chuckle))
Sounds like someone from the ‘Harry Callahan” school of quotations. My fave is “opinions are like assholes – everyone has one” – which applies to all those ‘experts’ that have popped out of the woodwork and onto TV/newspapers this past 2 years….
A “Freedom” party. We need something like Solidarity in Poland in the 1980’s.
We don’t need political parties – they have shown in stark detail not to “work” – why try and “fix” something by using the same device that “broke it” in the first place?
Politicians are the last thing we need…
Solidarity weren’t a political party.
If they vote this through then I’m not going to say it’s ‘game over’ but it’s certainly ‘job done’ as far as the globalists are concerned. It won’t matter if Boris falls, the government falls, or who’s in charge next week or next year, they have what they want, parliamentary approval of Digital IDs … freedom movements … control.
There is no intention for them to be temporary, and every belief that they will be expanded into every bit of our lives.
thinking the same.
‘Said it before and I’ll say it again, this is 100% face-saving tokenism for 70 frit MPs who all know fine well that far more effective action is possible to end this madness. Either force a leadership contest or resign the Conservative whip and cross over to the misclassified opposition benches. At the same time Labour MPs should stop pretending and cross over the other way, causing a mass crush in this anachronistic chamber of horrors.
Let the electorate see the Big Corporate & WEF led ‘3rd Way’ corruption played out first hand. In the meantime re-design the chamber to be a circle with any REAL opposition MPs sitting on the outer circumference seats – like the doubles around the edge of a dart board – and the corrupt centrist cabal occupying the rest. Be done with the subterfuge and duplicity, let’s see it how it really is! Boris can sit with Starmer on the Bull’s Eye revolving seat in the centre.
A leadership contest could result in someone worse than the PM. Resigning the whip is risky and means they would likely not get back into parliament after an election, which would not be great for us. It may be that a mass resignation might attract some shy dissenters but it’s high risk. On the other hand, the current approach is not working.
You’re as sycophantic as TY in defending this useless corrupt tw*t.
Let it get worse – if it could – maybe people would then wake up from their drug induced stupor. How can it get worse FFS, Boris knowingly murdering at least 1 in 24,000 vaxxees (or over 400 out of 10m children), implementing enforced apartheid, curtailing freedom of speech and movement and with a raft of new legislation (including the Online Safety Bill) about to go through (adding to the crap already passed without opposition pushback, like the Policing Bill) that will effectively curtail the mitigating influence of the Common Law.
The last hope is a military coup. I’ll take my chances with a stray bullet against being pinned down by medical professionals and willing sadist volunteers to have mandatory vaxx (Vial No 3 probably, the one that gives you cancer) because that is where this is going.
I’m not defending him – if you go back and read 100s of my posts, many of them are full of vitriol
I am just being realistic. Gove would have been worse, so would Starmer, or Merkel or Macron or Draghi.
It’s possible that someone more draconian would have overcooked things and made the frogs realise they were boiling and that in the long run would have helped us
But to say I am sycophantic is simply inaccurate – the PM knows he is lying and that makes him evil
Like calling him ‘evil’ over and over (as I see you have done yet again) rather than addressing the political, legal and constitutional issues that make this blood soaked Tory government the worst in modern history?
And then, despite calling him ‘evil’, you warn that ‘having a leadership contest could result in someone worse’ .
This attitude takes ‘better the de’il y’know’ to new heights of absurdity, as the economy tanks and thousands are about to have the most miserable Xmas ever on the back of BJ’s 1.1m per day booster campaign. 20m jabs will not only overwhelm MHRA Yellow card system (not that June Raine will notice), and leave around 1,000 unnecessarily pushing up the daisies by the end of January from jab reactions alone.
Yet even this fails to include the additional impact that 10 days loss of immunity post jab for 20m people at the height of the annual midwinter Corona season is going to have.
I also agree that this government is the worst in modern UK history, but others in other countries are worse, and Labour and other alternatives would have been worse.
Of course there are political, legal and constitutional issues. I’m not stupid. But a lot of them are contributed to by individuals not acting morally
“Better the devil you know” Well, I suppose so. Better than other devils we have a pretty good idea about, who would be worse. Obviously I’d rather have a proper leader, but that’s not a realistic option.
It’s going to get worse tomorrow & the tomorrow after that & the tomorrow after that, there are lots of tomorrow’s coming, what’s happening is different from any time in history because there will be no turning back digital tyranny, it really doesn’t matter what politician is in charge or what party, If digital vax passes are implemented its over, we’re finished.
…’there will be no turning back digital tyranny’. Well, until a suitably big solar flare in the right direction! That could be some time in coming, though!
Already in use here in Finland.
…and Labour and other alternatives would have been worse. Pure supposition, but (like millions of others) you need to cling on to that belief to justify voting Tory. Is ‘worse’ going to be measured in lives lost, freedoms curtailed, level of national debt – or what? Would one still keep a doctor as a GP even after admitting they had murdered six patients because Dr Shipman ‘would have been worse? This paradoxical ‘would have been worse’ argument (especially when it’s just born of denial) assumes notional equivalence with another Party (while ignoring the damage being inflicted by the current Conservative government), and has been the mainstay of Tory commenters for many years. It might have had some political credence (in that ‘it would have been different’) had Corbyn won in 2017 or 2019 but scarcely ‘worse’, not least because there would have been a functioning opposition – and Tories would have teamed up with disgruntled Blairite MPs to overturn his administration within months. But a lot of them are contributed to by individuals not acting morally Politicians, as individuals, cannot afford to act morally if they are to protect the interests of their constituents, as Machiavelli (et al) have long… Read more »
Well, a military coup may not be much better, and may well be much worse
But you seem obsessed with me “defending” Tories or why someone might have voted for them. I am simply pointing out that others may well have been worse, though ultimately it looks like it might not end up mattering as we’re going to get to the same awful endpoint by slightly different means
Here we go again! As I said above, ‘may well be much worse’ is not a rational argument when justifying the retention of incompetent, duplicitous, murderous, corrupt, criminal leadership whose only commitment is to personal and career gain at the expense of the lives of the people they are supposed to be protecting.
By contrast, soldiers of all ranks sign onto protect the country and their families with their lives, not many MPs would do this – and certainly not the current PM. I have met many politicians and many military personnel, and I know who I would trust with my life.
In the same way I would be about anyone defending any murderous regime in which once inalienable rights are being stripped away. It just happens the Tories are in power, and delighting in pushing through indefensible draconian special powers via SI along with rafts of indefensible legislation further eroding our rights and privacy.
I don’t need to cling to that belief as I’ve never voted Tory, not once. I have Voted Labour a good few times. And looking at the two parties now I firmly believe that when it comes to vicious Covidian fascism the current Labour leadership would be worse than the Tories.
That’s not to defend Johnson, who I can’t stand, but it is a mistake to assume that because the current lot is bad, an alternative would be better: everything indicates that they would be worse.
If there was a realistic alternative it would be a different matter- but there is currenty no sign of that. The only possibility (and it’s not a large one) is that if there is a Tory leadership contest there could be a candidate standing on an anti-Covidianism mandate. If that were to happen, I would (as a lifelong voter for left-wing parties) be prepared to join the Tory party simply to be able to vote for such a candidate. The issue is so serious that all other considerations have to take second place now.
The current lot is beyond ‘bad’, they are corrupt, duplicitous and knowingly murderous. To fail to move against their criminal actions is itself no longer justifiable (as itself was laid out at the Nuremberg Trials). Meanwhile Labour has lost the right to be regarded as an democratic opposition.
The situation cannot (repeat CANNOT) be any worse than where this is heading, as even if the new leader were to be worse than BJ (is this technically possible?) this fact alone might finally wake the electorate from its drug induced stupor, which is arguably the worst aspect of this shambles, and organise itself into mass non-compliance before it really is too late.
The trouble is, it really could be even worse than at present – that is the deeply troubling reality.
It will be even worse than it is at present over the next few months with BJ & co, and that is precisely the point I am trying to make. 20 million experimental (proven deadly to at least 1 in 24,000, possibly 1 in 2,400) vaxxes in 17 days is only the thin end of the tyrannical wedge, add to that more draconian privacy/security legislation (The Online Harms, now Safety, Bill) among other WEF approved climate/’green’ legislation (including taking away the right to own our private cars). No doubt a Labour government would try to do the same BUT, as I have stated elsewhere in this thread, Tory opposition MPs would not just nod the legislation through. Hence a Labour government would do far less harm – simply because it wouldn’t be allowed to (not that it wouldn’t want to)! The current spiralling situation is as much due to a lack of principled informed opposition (including the daily pro-govt. propaganda of the MSM) as it is to a criminal Tory executive in the pocket of various elites and corporations. Parliament and the other provincial UK assemblies of crony representatives are no longer fit for purpose in protecting the constitutional and… Read more »
I’ve said to my MP I’ll do exactly the same thing – also voted Labour most of my life
“having a leadership contest could result in someone worse”
Stockholm Syndrome! A lot of people of late have said it would be bad for Boris to go, as someone worse could get in.
How can this be any worse?
Ask the people who have had friends and relations commit suicide over all this, ask the people in care homes locked in their rooms, ask the people forced to pay £2,400 to be banged up in a tawdry ‘quarantine hotel’ room, ask those who have lost their jobs over this.
Which is precisely my point. Too many people are in denial as to just HOW bad the current (and worsening) situation is. Just how desperate does it need to become before people kick back – or has the jab rendered 80% of the population supine, while the other 20% of us do suitable impersonations of the Three Wise Monkeys when it comes to this tyrannical, corrupt government?
Precisely why I asked – above – “where is the military when you need them”?
If fight, you may lose. If you don’t, you won’t win.
The UK is being ruled by an informal Lab/Con coalition with Labour defining the general political goals and the Tories’, just as the LibDems under Cameron, claim to fame being that they moderate the seriously extreme ones somewhat. OTOH, that they haven’t divided the country into separate epidemic territories with military checkpoints between them yet (a cornerstone of a Zero COVID strategy) is not much of a moderation.
I mean, they aren’t yet shooting healthy people who took a wrong turn on the motorway! How lucky we are to live in such liberal society!
There’s no point crossing from one party to the other. There is no opposition – just one LabCon authoritarian party.
The people need to see the extent of the corruption in Parliament. Labour MPs have lost the RIGHT to sit on the opposition benches, as each and every one is a government stooge.
Apologies to Diane Abbott, Apsana Begum, Dawn Butler, Emma Lewell-Buck, Clive Lewis, Rebecca Long Bailey, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Graham Stringer and of course the currently independent Jeremy Corbyn (of whom I would expect no less anyway). The last remaining MPs that deserve to be called Labour, I’m so pleased they didn’t blow it. We need a robust radical left as well as a free thinking right to make our democracy work. Centrism is a cloying disease of global compliance and tyranny.
One party state, one media voice, one opinion permitted, one narrative – endlessly repeated. Oh and one room for dissenters – 101.
You have summed it up nicely.
Asking for a friend
Is it still open to Labour to stab the Pig Dictator in the back
I live in hope. It would royally fuck him over, so if I were labour I would totally do it. But I have a degree of competence.
Never interrupt your opposition when they are making a mistake.
Bozo is instigating their policies (making happy, people that will never vote for him) and alienating his voters.
I emailed my MP last week. No response, He isn’t on the list of rebels. No hope of any help from him.
At least this shows who still has a sense of morality, and a desire to avoid discrimination, segregation and the creation of a two tier system of “good” and “bad” citizens.
Caveat: I bet 70 Tory boys and girls don’t rebel. They’ll be bought off by “government reassurances” and cries of “we must protect the vulnerable”.
No-one is going to help us. We have to help ourselves.
Ive emailed mine twice. She is Labour so I don’t have much hope, despite her previously saying she was against passports.
I’m particularly spitting about Starmer’s stance that this plan is “patriotic”. What is British about “ihre papiere bitte”?
DISGUSTING
I’ve emailed the local MP a number of time – he sometimes replies but even if he does he will always completely ignore any requests for the hard facts and cost-benefit analysis on which any measure is based, and often repeats his support for the government measures (he’s already said that he supports ‘plan b’)
Complete waste of time emailing to ask him not to support the government in this vote so I haven’t bothered.
Thank him for supporting Boris and keeping the Tories in office? Or is he too thick to get it?
I might send a pointed email after the vote today. I’m sure he’ll get any point – he’s not stupid – but he won’t be bothered, and if asked for the stats and cost-benefit analysis he will completely ignore that request.
“I emailed my MP last week. No response”
What did you expect? The only language they understand is when people actually turn up on their doorstep.
Still, the handy thing with e-mails is that copies can be saved in the ‘sent’ folder, so all you have to do is e-mail him again.
I think Dominic Raab is correct. We will go into Christmas in a very different position to last year: last year we didn’t have a papers please society, this year we will.
Labour were “briefed” (lied to) by government “scientists” about omicron, to get them on board.
Could Labour ambush the Pig Dictator with ‘we would normally vote with you but you can’t be trusted anymore’
I doubt it. Labour have been on board with corona fascism from the start, I doubt they would want to be associated with a right-wing Tory rebellion
The senior figures in the Labour party are mostly not stupid (those in the Tory party aren’t either, of course) – they must therefore see it as in their interests to support dystopian behaviour.
and this from Fraser Nelson;-
Boris making two offers to rebels: a) he won’t proceed with compulsory jabs b) vaccine passports will always carry a LFT option.
It has won over Danny Kruger (who was not amongst 81 rebels). Most have other concerns, mainly failure to produce evidence that vaccine passports work
Interesting. Anyone who believes him is simply a moron
Agreed. To any MP reading this: if you’re against these measures, f***ing vote against them. Never mind what may or may not happen at some other time.
Proceed with compulsory jabs:

Vaccine passports in any shape or form are disgusting. LFT giveaway to the faint hearted mp rebels would last about 3 days. They are lying scum.
People will start getting killed soon in direct conflicts between resisters and the state. (This is if this didn’t already start in Rotterdam.) When the state starts killing resisters, it’s going to get some of its own medicine. Not a nice prospect, but there you go. That’s the way it is.
Extremis malis, extrema remedia.
‘he won’t proceed .. ‘ not ‘we won’t proceed’ BoJo will be gone by Xmas under the Gove / Cummings coup so full steam ahead with compulsory jabs in the new year.
The Par-liar-ment of plausible deniability…
Unfortunately 🙁 The unopposing opposition – kneel before your masters.
Angela Rayner didn’t even defend the position- ‘We’re following CMO advice’
The old following orders defence
Just look at that cringeworthy photo
They’re watching Boris Johnson on Zoom!
More likely Bill Gates!
Starmer in ” how far would you like me to bend over Boris ” shocker!
so only about 10% of our MPs actually believe in democracy. Wonderful, isn’t it?
Always said Johnson was a Blairite ‘New Labour’ plant, Blair who is orchestrating all of this for his global friends
In other news King Canute has ordered all citizens to wear wellies to stop the impending tide. Shops in the Pennines have already sold out due to panic about the very high tide predicted by the King’s chief soothsayer.
I have just sent this to my MP, who is actually against these Satanic documents. Dear Mr. XXX, I expect that you will vote against this evil measure today but unfortunately, due to support from the ‘Opposition’ it will pass. This is the end of this country. The current House of Commons will have BETRAYED all of those who fought in many wars for the freedoms that we have enjoyed up to today. This will not stop at ‘Large Venues’ and ‘Nightclubs’. It will be extended to ALL premises including one’s own home; not immediately, but not that gradually either. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with a virus and EVERYTHING to do with CONTROL. As I said, the people of this country will have been betrayed before the end of the day. I have taken part in at least two ‘Consultations’ both of which were a cynical sham, and I, along with hundreds of thousands of others rejected these Satanic documents outright. There is now no hope whatsoever for this country or the people in it. This Parliament has totally destroyed this country and this will not end until 2090. Do not entertain… Read more »
[Raab] …added that the new Covid passes were not “an unreasonable thing” to ask of people to enter large venues, adding: “I would do it voluntarily.”
Glad I didn’t bother wasting precious time writing to this fascist twat as per the Together campaign. Spent far too many hours doing that in 2020 so I know it is utterly pointless.
Is Raab a bit simple-minded? No minister will call what their government is doing “unreasonable”, and it’s unlikely they will say that since they themselves wouldn’t do something unless it was compulsory, this argues for making it compulsory.
Does this vote today mean anything to the Scottish and Welsh or is it entirely regarding devolved issues? If it only affects England are the SNP getting a vote?
It’s a whole House vote and all MPs will get a vote, whether their constituencies are in England or not. But you are right – the measures are England-only and therefore presumably the SNP MPs will follow their party’s policy of not voting on England-only laws. (Incidentally this is an insult to the Scottish electorate, who have always turned out in greater numbers to send representatives to Westminster than to Holyrood.) Does Plaid Cymru have the same abstention policy?
Edit: it’s not just one vote but three.
🗒 The Labour Party
…
It just doesn’t work on us, though!
….
…….
There may be three votes today rather than just one.
Will there be any Labour, LibDem, SNP, Plaid Cymru, Northern Irish, Alba, Green, or Independent “rebels”? Or should the whole lot of the f***ers cross the floor and go and sit on the government benches where they belong? What a brown-tonguer of the prime minister and the Cabinet Office Keir Starmer in particular is showing himself to be. And what about Jeremy Corbyn, the Independent MP? Is he going to slither through the Boris Johnson lobby too?
I have long found it healthy to be able to give credit where it’s due, so please a take a bow all you Tory MPs who vote against the government today. You have shown more courage than the official “opposition”.
Anatomy of a cold Day three Feeling better thanks for asking Visited the local dog shit town The pubs and shops on the high street have all been bought up by Social Housing Landlords with the intention of stabling more smack heads A large pub on a corner is being converted into twenty seven single persons ‘apartments’. I suspect the first thing the grateful will do is rip out the gas boilerst and flog them Only one or two of the smackheads had surfaced by mid day. The usual pasty complexion and unwashed hair atop the de rigueur cheap black sports clothing. I seen betting looking corpses The SM’s tend to be nocturnal and spend the nights sourcing drugs and murdering each other The Chemist displayed a sign say ‘No lateral flow tests available’ At what passes as an open air market a short fat terminally stupid woman complained that she had bought her daughter a Christmas pillow but it had arrived without any filling It dawned on me that the High Street has been annexed by the State Where once business thrived and people paid taxes, the high street was now a huge consumer of the welfare dollar Anyway,… Read more »
Glad to hear your cold is receding, Cecil.
I would have thought a Christmas pillow would include its filling as well. A pillowcase or cover no – that’s evidently just the case. A mere pillow would come without the case, but since nobody normally sees anything but the cover, to describe something as a “Christmas” pillow implies it consists of pillow plus cover. But for clarity she should have checked before purchase.
Is that you Anne Robinson?
I’ll try and find her and let her know
Town Centre? Did you mean Health Hub?
What it’s like waking up after 15 months of buying the narrative: https://odysee.com/@ResistanceGB:f/man-wakes-up-15-months:0
One of the statutory instruments to be voted on today is entitled the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Entry to Venues and Events) (England) Regulations 2021.
Is “P” now the preferred state language where “he or she” might be considered exclusionary towards those who don’t know which of the two they are, or who believe they are neither?
A person (“P”) commits an offence if P makes, adapts, supplies or offers to supply false evidence of COVID status to another person which P knows is false or misleading.
Bad drafting. The ‘which’ in that sentence could relate to the ‘evidence’, the ‘status’ or the ‘person’.
Clearly cobbled together without any thought.
I think Boris must have personally seen to this then.
What does COVID status mean anyway? Could be, for example,COVID status of ICU’s
P could be Dr Hillary, your Honour
Dr Hillary supplies false evidence of COVID status
which Dr Hillary knows is false or misleading.
That’s fine, I’m not P so it doesn’t apply to me
