Rebel Tories plan ‘vote strikes’ to capitalise on PM’s weakened position

MPs will attempt to stymie Boris Johnson's legislative agenda, starting with bill on NI protocol

Rebel Conservative MPs are drawing up plans for vote strikes" in a bid to paralyse law-making and capitalise on the dramatic Boris Johnson no-confidence vote.

Some of the 148 MPs who voted to oust the prime minister on Monday said they would try to stymie his government's legislative agenda, as happened at the end of the Theresa May era, by abstaining on key laws.
