INTRODUCING vaccine passports would be “dangerous, discriminatory and counterproductive,” Shami Chakarabarti has claimed as 70 MPs warn against the measure.
The former shadow attorney general said Covid-19 certificates could create a “checkpoint Britain” and an “authoritarian step too far.”
“It’s one thing to have a passport to travel internationally, that is a privilege, even a luxury, but participating in local community life is a fundamental right,” she told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
