BORIS JOHNSON HIT BY HUGE TORY REBELLION

Boris Johnson has suffered the biggest Conservative rebellion since the 2019 general election as 100 Tory MPs opposed the introduction of COVID certificates for nightclubs and large events in England.

In a House of Commons vote that immediately raised further questions over the prime minister's leadership, more than a quarter of Tory MPs opposed a key measure of Mr Johnson's "Plan B" for dealing with COVID infections this winter.
