Two years after his greatest triumph, the PM couldn't head off a mass Tory rejection of Covid measures.
Mr Johnson himself declared to journalists after the 1922 Committee that he had done his best to persuade his party.The rebellion on Covid passes was far bigger than many had predicted and by some distance the biggest of Mr Johnson's premiership.What will worry Downing Street is that the vote brought different wings of the Conservative Party together in opposition to the government's plans.
Then there were the likes of the Scottish Conservatives, who do not believe Covid passports worked in Scotland. We don't know for certain how many took a similar position, but it takes the number refusing to back Mr Johnson over the 100 mark. Secondly, will Mr Johnson now have to think twice about introducing more restrictions if they are needed?
