New mask regulations were passed by a huge majority in parliament last night.

Some 434 MPs voted in favour of the mask-wearing measures, with 19 Tories – and two rebel tellers – opposing.

The usual suspects were on the list of MPs voting against the bill, with ‘Britain Uncancelled’ backerEsther McVey among them.

Brexiteers Mark Francois,Andrew Bridgen andSteve Baker also voted it down, while Desmond Swayne – who once warned that we pay too much attention to health professionals – not registering a vote.

Baker said the government is “once again choosing that downward path towards, frankly, hell” by bringing in a new law telling people to wear masks in shops.

“I intend to chart a course towards heaven and I hope honourable members will come with me,” he added.

According to this highly religious man, concern for others equates with the path to Hell.

…and irresponsibility equates with the blissful liberations of Heaven, obviously. https://t.co/CesAsf5vMv

It comes after the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) confirmed that eight further cases of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 have been confirmed in England, bringing the total number in the country to 13.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
