‘Boris pleads with rebels to back balanced measures’
Boris Johnson faces a rebellion from some Tory MPs who have pledged to vote against COVID passports in the Commons, the Daily Express says.
More than one in five Tory MPs are set to oppose or sit out the Commons vote on the tougher Covid measures, with the PM prepared for a “wave” of resignations from ministerial aides over Covid passport rules, the paper claims. Adding, Mr Johnson is “desperately trying” to win over critics of the new measures, warning there is “no room for complacency” after the spike in Omicron, which now accounts for a fifth of all infections in England.
The paper reports on Harry Dunn’s alleged killer Anne Sacoolas finally having to face a court. The Sports Personality of the Year nominee Emma Raducanu is on the front splash as the paper asks why Lewis Hamilton has been snubbed.
