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.

Please God lockdown
Omicron was a bit embarrassed about being so ineffective so it called it’s cousin from southern Sudan — enter OMICRON 2 !! Already at a cinema near you!!
Great. Can we have our lives back now CUNTS?
Sajid says…
So was victim numero uno triple jabbed I wonder ?
Makes no odds, this was always baked in regardless. If I remember correctly the expiry on the self certification for VAX passports was 15th December. It was leaked out but I can’t find the page now.
The true believers will lap it all up for the greater good regardless.
Does look like they are going to struggle to get the deaths in the numbers they want/need.
They’re working on that by denying health care to the elderly for the next 3 months. And they won’t have died from the untreated diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks, undiagnosed cancer – nope, you can bet it will be the lurgy, even if they have to plant a fake positive PCR test on the corpse.
no he was an unvaccinated 25 year old professional sportsman, but they’ve kept it quiet…
Or maybe not!
‘Really, I think the safety record is incredible with these vaccines. They’re very impressive with their safety record.’ (12:15)
https://youtu.be/cSXBf0DHD9M
This was Sally Cutler responsing to Nigel Farage asking if she had any concerns regarding the Pfizer report doing the rounds, wherein an astounding number of adverse events is listed. Cutler utterly swerved the question and instead offered gushing praise for the ‘safety record’ of the ‘vaccines’. She could be a politician. But she’s a professor of medical microbiology. And evidently part of the cult.
This is the ‘standard’ stuff we have come to expect from ‘experts’. They simply avoid unwanted data and facts. This pathetic creature avoids the question and simply asserts that these pseudo vaccines’ safety record is ‘incredible’, thus begging the question by assuming the very thing on the table.
Moreover, the Pfizer report aside, given the stunning and unprecedented number of reported adverse events to Yellow Card, and given the undereporting factor, how on earth can this woman say with a straight face that these vaccines’ safety record is incredible’? Unless she means incredibly bad, which of course she doesn’t, then we have yet another case of a ‘vaccine’ advocate abusing language.
Farage let her get away with swerving his question. I wouldn’t be surprised if he failed to notice that she swerved the question. I don’t think his heart’s really in the debate.
Watch as Professor Fenton shakes his head in disbelief as this woman demonstrates she’s either ignorant of the adverse events data linked to these pseudo vaccines or is well aware, couldn’t give a toss and is lying through her teeth (I favour the latter here). Farage surely sees Fenton shaking his head and laughing at this woman’s claims, yet he doesn’t bring him in to respond. Fenton would have wiped the floor with her.
What a joke.

The jab whose first two injections don’t work on the new variant does work if you have a 3rd dose.
No, I don’t understand either.
Or maybe he’s just on a percentage commission, like some salesmen.
Truly astounding level of bullshit in that article. TLDR: more is always better.
The antibodies bind less to the target due to mutation and repeated dosing with the same vax. Autoimmune disease ahoy.

Sally Cutler was pitted against a British journalist in Salzburg on the Dan Wootton Show about three weeks ago to discuss the Austrian lockdown of unvaccinated and the plans for mandatory vaccines. She was all for it but had no evidence to back up her support for the measures even when asked by the ex-pat guy. He wiped the floor with her. She was an absolute embarrassment to academia. All she could say smugly was that she had contacts in Europe and they had assured her that things were really bad there.
When the British chap said that he lived 5 miles from the main hospital in Salzburg and asked her to explain why he himself had witnessed that it was totally empty, she retorted that we only had his word for it and as she wasn’t in Austria she wasn’t in a position to validate his claim. Judging from her smirk she regarded that as a clever ‘gotcha’ answer but it just made her look pathetic.
She is clearly wheeled out loaded with the usual mainstream sound bites but nothing of any substance to support the narrative.
Fenton shooting straight. That woman is a disgrace. “The worst adverse event you see is a sore arm”.
Actual deaths and she’s there saying just a a sore arm is all. My god.
I know someone who lost consciousness for 30mins straight after his first dose. He’s now being pressured by friends to get the second because he is feeling left out of their nights out.
Why do you keep reporting this obvious COVID bullshit streaming in from South Africa as “suggests its less serious”? Taking the (one-off, as always) numbers as granted, IFR for Wuhan would be 4%, Delta 10.1% and Omicron 3.8%. That’s obvious BS because it’s missing an important qualification: It should have been for 1000 infections the SA health authorities found. Chances are that authorities in SA spend a lot less on mass testing of healthy people than they do in England, hence, the numbers are entirely meaningless.
How do you come to that conclusion? The figures quoted were for hospitalisations.
Isn’t this obvious? People are supposed to be hospitalized when they become so seriously ill that home care is no longer an option. Hence, this is an approximation of the number of those who had died hadn’t they been hospitalized, ie, of the infection fatality rate.
Government scientists today announced that Omicron is not the greatest threat to humanity due to next weeks discovery of Super Omicron.
It’s a miracle world: Each new Sars-CoV2 variant is so much more transmissible that all others pale in comparison to it. Reasoning backwards, something which can be hugely improved with each iteration must have been pretty puny to begin with.
I got delta, that wasn’t even the worst cold I had THIS YEAR.
The real flu, now that was BAD!
MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.

Is this spam? See this kind of post on many articles here.
Dr Robert Malone says getting Omicron could be like getting a traditional vaccine, which uses a live attenuated form of the virus, produces no, or mild, symptoms and conveys broad spectrum immunity. Bring it on!
