Boris Johnson fighting pushback from his own MPs - a podcast by RNZ

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing fresh questions over his authority - even his own party is turning against him.
Almost one hundred of his own MPs rebelled against the introduction of mandatory Covid-19 passes for England.
The "plan b" measures to fight Omicron passed, despite the opposition.
It comes on top of the party allegations - the past two weeks have been dominated by reports of social meetups in Downing Street while the rest of the country was banned from gathering.
In Parliament, Johnson was again accused of hosting a Christmas quiz last year.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer called Johnson's behaviour "dangerous".
BBC political correspondent Rob Watson spoke to Susie Ferguson from London.
