Several MPs say they wanted to vote against tier restrictions and some may still break party line to do so
A Labour MP has said the party’s decision not to oppose the government’s new Covid tier restrictions made her feel ill, and that about 20 colleagues had wanted to vote against the measures.
Emma Lewell-Buck, the MP for South Shields, said she would break the party whip in a Commons vote on the new coronavirus rules later on Tuesday, even though it made her feel uncomfortable to do so.
