"It’s costly, open to fraud and is impractical." The Labour Party in the United Kingdom joins with Tory rebels to officially oppose 'Vaccine Passports' and may cause it's failure to pass as law. r/Unitedkingdom discusses whether or not Labour can be wrong and if it sets a dangerous precedent

Context: In the United Kingdom, the topic of so called 'vaccine passports' has been filled with problems. At the beginning of the pandemic, people who argued it could happen were largely seen as nutters. In essence, a vaccine passport is an ID or certificate someone carries to gain access to certain facilities domestically, which unlike going abroad, is a quite a rare restriction. However, as time moved on and it went from conspiracy to reality, many argued it's pros and cons. Of course, many right wingers argued that it was against the concept of freedoms and was oppressive, and left wingers tended to argue it was not. However, it isn't strictly an ideological divide either. Labour, a largely left-leaning party, has chosen to officially oppose vaccine passports, leaving r/Unitedkingdom with some soul searching

r/Unitedkingdom, a largely left-leaning subreddit, discusses if Labour is wrong. Is it authoritarianism? Does the slope look scary? Is it a 'right' or 'left' wing problem? Are people who oppose it childlike Libertarians who want to kill everyone? Are those who support it closeted authoritarians? Find out in a thread on r/unitedkingdom that doesn't just talk about how bad Boris is

I have had both my vaccines and am not in anyway a Covid denier but this sets a very dangerous precedent in regards to entry to pubs and such.

This is how it starts.

Oh wow, very good to hear. Usually Labour dissapoints me by backing more stringent COVID measures so I'm happy to see we're being given so alternative

So if we don’t do this...How will we make sure everyone has the vaccine?

Is no one else appalled that even if this doesn’t go ahead, the government are saying it’s okay to threaten to take away access to services/venues if you don’t comply with what they think
