In NI/Ireland/Scotland people get forced out by public opinion/other politicians.
Not in England alas. There isn't a parliamentary mechanism for politicians undermining confidence in health measures by being covidiots / going against the spirit of the law. Parties can discipline but in the case of the Conservative party clearly didn't.
Bar a good general strike, which is very hard in the UK both culturally and legally, not sure what can be done. Asking politely isn't working clearly.
I interpret society being OK with it, as nothing happening to the perpetrators.
