The Prime Minister suffered a damaging blow to his authority yesterday when 55 angry Tories voted against his regional tiers plan. Despite standing in the lobbies urging his MPs to support him, his backbenchers inflicted his worst bloody nose since the election. Millions will be out in force to buy Christmas presents, with prices being slashed in a bid to shift stock. British Beer & Pub Association figures reveal 16,454 pubs in Tier 3 will remain locked, restricted to offering takeaway and delivery. Cabinet ministers hope some areas could drop into lower tiers when restrictions come up for review on December 16.
