The number of Conservative MPs reportedly preparing to vote against the government over vaccine passports has risen to at least 50, but will not be enough to disrupt Boris Johnson’s plans without support from the major Opposition party, Labour.

I’m old enough to remember when Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg – aka The Moggfather – was the great white hope of British conservatism.

Britain’s Health Secretary Sajid Javid has apologised for saying that it is time to “learn to live with, rather than cower from” the coronavirus, in a failed attempt to appease pro-lockdown critics.

Boris Johnson is set to launch a China-style social credit score app that will reward families based on their choices at the grocery store.

Boris Johnson’s government is instructing councils and other bodies in receipt of so-called “European” coronavirus recovery funding to cover all relevant signs and so on with the EU flag, despite Brexit.

Lord Frost, Britain’s chief Brexit negotiator and current head of Task Force Europe, has admitted that the Northern Ireland protocol of the EU deal is damaging businesses, consumers, and community relations in Ulster.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson could face a party rebellion over his recent announcement for mandatory vaccinations to enter nightclubs and other large social venues, with at least 42 Conservative MPs signing Big Brother Watch’s declaration against vaccine passports.

John Bercow is claiming a pension of £35,000 a year from his time as Speaker of the House of Commons nine years early, despite having pledged to wait until he was 65.

Britain’s creepily-titled Vaccines Minister, Nadhim Zahawi, has announced that from September only double-jabbed adults will be allowed into nightclubs. This, it almost goes without saying, is an announcement of the purest evil.

Today is ‘Freedom Day’ in Britain, with many restrictions on personal liberty lifted, at least in theory, and venues such as nightclubs allowed to reopen — but critics say the country’s liberation is largely illusory.

Britons who commit “online racism” will be barred from attending football matches Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday.

The extent to which ‘Freedom Day’ will really mean ‘freedom’ for Britons has been called into question after, in the last three days, the House of Commons has backed compulsory vaccination for care workers, London’s mayor has ordered masks still be warn on public transport, and the prime minister has called for some venues to use vaccine passports.

A Conservative MP has warned that “winter is coming” and predicted the government could impose fresh restrictions on Britons in the coming months.

Pollsters made a big song and dance about how they’d learnt lessons in the wake of their comprehensive failure to foresee Brexit. Yet even when the laser-focus of the country’s greatest political minds bears down on just one constituency, Westminster still finds Britain inscrutable.

The Boris Johnson administration’s supposedly tough new “points-based immigration system” will make it even easier for foreign students to stay in Britain as unskilled workers, Home Secretary Priti Patel has boasted.

Will the Tories’ big-money donors in the construction industry come to haunt them?
