Boris Johnson ‘respects’ decision by 55 MPs to defy whip in Commons vote this week
Conservative MPs who broke a three-line whip to reject Boris Johnson’s Covid-19 tiering system will not face sanctions because he respects their decision, Downing Street has said.
The prime minister faced the worst parliamentary rebellion of his premiership on Tuesday, with 55 Tory MPs voting against the new restrictions, which came into force on Wednesday.
