A demonstration against mandatory vaccinations has been organised from 12pm at Parliament Square in Westminster. The Together Declaration campaign group arranged the protest after MPs passed legislation on Tuesday to make Covid jabs mandatory for frontline NHS staff from April 1, 2022.

       The Together Declaration says it is made up of more than 200 organisations, business groups, campaigners and professionals – and argues the requirement for NHS staff to be double-jabbed is “completely immoral”.

       The group says: “Implementing vaccine mandates for NHS front line staff will significantly impact patient care. The NHS is already understaffed and many of those front line staff worked tirelessly through the last 20 months under intense pressure. To treat them in this way is completely immoral.

       “Our next campaign aims to support NHS staff in opposing mandatory covid vaccines with legal and practical advice and also to support employees in other industries as vaccine mandates may be imposed on other sectors.

       “In Europe and the US, vaccine mandates have been implemented for public and private sector organisations resulting in huge job losses, and we must not let that happen in the UK.

       “Once this dangerous precedent has been set, it can be expanded at will.”

       A similar protest was held last month as thousands marched through Oxford Street in central London.

       The move to mandatory jabs for NHS staff formed part of a vote on England moving to Plan B amid the surge of the new Omicron variant.

       The requirement proved unpopular with many Tory MPs after 61 voted against the plans.

       A further rebellion of 98 – the largest of the Prime Minister’s premiership – voted against the introduction of Covid passes for larger venues, such as nightclubs and football stadiums with more than 10,000 spectators.

       Another 38 Tory backbenchers rebelled against compulsory face masks in most indoor settings.

       The backlash at the tightening of restrictions seen in the Commons in set to be reflected in the capital.

       Other protesters are expected to voice their anger at the Government following allegations of widespread rule-breaking when the country was plunged into lockdown last December.

       Mr Johnson has defended the move to tighten Covid restrictions and described Plan B as “balanced and proportionate”.

       It is understood the Prime Minister is also considering further measures under a so-called Plan C, which includes another lockdown, the Financial Times reports.

       On Friday, the UK recorded 93,045 new Covid cases, the highest daily total since the pandemic began.
