Denied holidays due to lack of employees (UK)

My workplace is so toxic that between october and march my whole team resigned, including my manager. Higher management did nothing to stop this. I would have resigned but was halfway through a house purchase which needed my consistent proof of earning. Since then I have been doing everything single handedly. Within the last few weeks we have got a new manager and two team members (there were previously eight). I am now being denied annual leave by the new manager on the basis that there isn't any way to cover my workload. It isn't my fault there isn't cover, it is the companys toxic culture, slow response to resignations, reluctancy to update the job advert and lack of appropriate resource planning. What can I do? As you can imagine I am also suffering from stress due to this, if that could be relevant.
