More than 1,200 ministers have written to the PM warning Covid certificates are a 'form of coercion'.

to the prime minister, church ministers warned that introducing the passports would create a "medical apartheid".

"This scheme has the potential to bring about the end of liberal democracy as we know it and to create a surveillance state in which the government uses technology to control certain aspects of citizens' lives," the letter states. "As such, this constitutes one of the most dangerous policy proposals ever to be made in the history of British politics."

The ministers said that, regardless of the government's final decision, they would not refuse entry to their churches to anybody without a vaccine passport - or any other certificate which they have labelled "proof of health".
