British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing opposition from lawmakers in his own Conservative Party.
On Tuesday, Johnson proposed legislation requiring vaccine passports, re-implementing face masks and mandating COVID vaccines for workers. The bills were all passed, but only with the support of the opposition Labor Party participating.
