Irish Government doubted UK campaign to ‘save David’ Trimble
DRINK-spiking is to become a specific criminal offence, with predators more likely to be jailed, PM Sir Keir Starmer will announce today. The aim is to simplify the current system where spiking comes either under assault, or part of the Offences Against the Person Act . Workers across the night-time economy will be taught how to prevent incidents, support victims and help cops collect evidence. This will allow officers to provide a quicker and more effective response for victims. The training will be rolled out to 10,000 bar staff by the end of the year. Nearly 7,000 incidents were reported in England and Wales last year but the real figure is understood to be significantly higher. Read More on Politics Sir Keir said: “We know it can be incredibly difficult for victims to come forward to report this awful crime, and these cases can be very hard to prosecute. "I made a promise that, if elected, I’d make spiking a new criminal offence. "Today, I am proud to have come good on that pledge. “Today, I will bring together police chiefs, heads of industry and transport bosses to demand coordinated action to stop women being targeted, whether they are out with friends or simply travelling home. Most read in The Sun “Cracking down on spiking is central to that mission. “We must do more to bring the vile perpetrators who carry out this cowardly act, usually against young women and often to commit a sexual offence, to justice." Home Office minister Jess Phillips said: “Spiking is a diabolical act. “While the risk may be heightened during the festive season, it’s a threat that exists year-round." By JESS PHILLIPS, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls AS Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls, one of the threats I’m most concerned about is spiking . It is a diabolical act, and while the risk may be heightened in the festive season, it’s a threat all year round. Let there be no doubt — it is a crime whether it is in a bar, club or friend’s house. The effects can last a lifetime. For too long, spiking has not been treated with the seriousness it merits. It is time to change that.

The heartbroken families of have launched an awareness campaign to protect future travellers from the same fate. or signup to continue reading Best friends were in the popular Laos tourist town Vang Vieng when they consumed drinks suspected of containing dangerous levels of methanol, a potentially deadly substance often found in bootleg alcohol, in mid-November. Ms Jones died in a Thai hospital on November 21 and Ms Bowles died the following day. They are among six tourists killed in the suspected mass poisoning after two Danish women, one British woman and an American man died. Bianca's father Mark Jones has thanked the Australian public for the "overwhelming" support and vowed to campaign for answers after his daughter's death. "We can't have the passing of our daughter not lead to change to protect others," he said. "I would like to take this opportunity to urge the Laos government to investigate this to the fullest extent, to make sure this incident doesn't happen again." The Laos Government said it has been "conducting investigations to find causes of the incident and to bring the perpetrators to justice in accordance with the law", in a statement. "The government of the Lao PDR is profoundly saddened over the loss of lives of foreign tourists in Vangvieng District, Vientiane Province and expresses its sincere sympathy and deepest condolences to the families of the deceased," the statement said. The Jones and Bowles families have launched a fundraiser to campaign for awareness among tourists, business owners and communities over the danger of methanol. Almost $115,000 had been within the first 14 hours of the fundraiser with donations from more than 1400 people. "We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this devastating time. Every donation, no matter the size, will not only help us honour Bianca and Holly's memory but also work to prevent other families from experiencing the same heartbreak," the families said on the fundraising page. "This campaign is being run by the families of Bianca and Holly, and we are committed to ensuring that every dollar raised is used transparently and meaningfully." The families said the money would be used to repatriate the young women to Australia and to launch education initiatives about the dangers of methanol poisoning and how it can be avoided. The money will also be used to support existing organisations tackling methanol poisoning through education and prevention efforts. "We want to honour the memory of Bianca, Holly and others impacted by methanol poisoning by turning this tragedy into a mission for change," the families said.
