Among the other proposals that passed through the house tonight, with considerable help from across the floor are;
Mandatory vaccinations for NHS staff.
Wider use of face coverings
Covid Passports (proof of double vaccination status) for entry into larger events and venues.
There are also unsubstantiated reports of extra measures over the Christmas and New Year period.

I didn't elect them.
You may not have, but the majority of your fellow citizens did.
More because the labour party ran a laughable campaign with a platform of incoherent neoliberal gibberish that ran at odds to what their overwhelmingly working class base would have wanted.
They have only doubled down on this, because it worked out so well the last time. If anything following their catastrophic and historic defeat the neoliberal wing of the party has only consolidated it’s position.
I think its undeniable that there is now an element of sensationalism and simple fearmongering mixed up with all the science in the official propaganda coming from Downing Street and official sources.
One can't help but wonder what will replace Covid Passports when this all blows over.....will people have been suitably conditioned to these mandates/restrictions/monitoring/regulation?
This isn’t going to go away, we are in the “the new normal.
But if we aren't very, very careful it could be a much more regulated and conditioned future that we face.

Whats most nteresting about it to me personally is that it only got through thanks to the opposition.
