The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson faces a massive party rebellion after over 100 Conservative lawmakers voted against his new coronavirus restrictions. 

Johnson, who holds a majority of 74 seats in the parliament of 650, had to depend on the backing of the opposition Labour Party to pass the new pandemic regulations. "The prime minister was forced to rely on the votes of Labour MPs to win Commons approval for the introduction" of the measures, the newspaper Independent reported.
