Few would disagree with travel restrictions being tied to vaccination - but your original "refuse [the unvaccinated] a passport to a normal life" implied something rather more draconian, whether that was your intention or not.
The way to do that would be to make vaccination compulsory, via the back door, by denying access to unvaccinated people to pubs, restaurants, child care - and overseas travel, unless they can provide a certificate confirming their vaccination is current. The latter could be achieved not by barring the unvaccinated from having a passport, but denying them from returning to the UK, without 14 days government provided secure quarantine if they weren't vaccinated. I should add that the government quarantine facilities would be charged for at a commercial rate plus.
