Britons are dying in a blizzard of cheap cocaine. Why is so little being done to save them? | Martha Gill
Compared with the screaming scare campaigns of the 1990s, anti-drugs messaging is thin on the ground these days. So the casual observer may not realise that Britain has, quietly but surely, lost its “war on drugs”. Amid a steep rise in drug poisonings, a particularly striking statistic emerged last week. Between 2022 and 2023, cocaine-related deaths in England and Wales soared by 30%. The figure is now around 10 times higher than in 2011.
And that could be an underestimate. There’s often a time lag of two to three years between drug deaths and the coroner’s assessment on which these statistics are based, says Ian Hamilton, associate professor of addiction at the University of York: current rates are probably even higher. What’s more, not all deaths resulting from cocaine are included. The long-term damage that eventually ends in a stroke or a heart attack will not show up in these reports.
What is going on? One culprit is a precipitous rise in purity, which makes it easier to overdose by accident. Once cocaine was sold in a two-tier market: the cheap, heavily adulterated stuff, and the expensive, purer cocaine consumed by models, city traders and members of the Bullingdon Club. Now, according to the latest United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime report, cocaine in Europe has on average a purity of over 60%, compared with 35% in 2009. Today, even street cocaine rivals the top-end stuff of the 1980s.
This may in part be the unintended consequence of government crackdowns on cutting agents such as benzocaine, a dental anaesthetic. But the result is a drug that is often far stronger than users are expecting. This could be particularly true of generation X – now accumulating health issues – which came of age at a time of much milder cocaine: the highest rate of recent deaths in England and Wales is among men aged 40 to 49.
Another factor is price, which, despite inflation, has not budged for years. This is partly because supply is up in producer countries, partly because cocaine has a known street price: raise it, and customers go elsewhere; drop it, and they suspect something is wrong with the product. And if cocaine is better and cheaper, more people try it. A larger pool of users means more with undetected heart issues that a dose of cocaine might suddenly exacerbate.
It also means cocaine is more often mixed with other drugs, rather than consumed reverently, by itself, as a treat. This ramps up the danger. It is now so cheap and prevalent that drinkers use it to temper the effects of alcohol, in order to drink more. And to fill the gap left in the higher end of the market, there are complicated cocktails. Liam Payne, who died this month, had “pink cocaine” in his system: a drug that typically includes methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA and crack cocaine. According to Harry Sumnall, a professor in substance use at Liverpool John Moores University, about 20% of the recently recorded cocaine deaths were in association with alcohol, and a third involved other drugs.
One important aspect of the death rate comes down not to the drug itself but to human psychology. Cocaine is increasingly normalised. It may be more dangerous than ever, but the more people take it, the more commonplace it seems, and the safer they assume it to be. In this way a vicious cycle is created: once there is a surge in cocaine use, it tends to be perpetuated.
The drug has been normalised into different income brackets, too. It was once known as the yuppie drug, but has since gone through a radical rebrand: it is now found at all levels of society. It is so commonplace at football matches that it supersedes alcohol as a major safety issue on match days – helping to drive disorderly behaviour. A 2019 Home Office survey found that 35% of users were manual workers.
It has also become normal for older people to take cocaine. Traditionally, drug takers tend to give up the habit in their late twenties and early thirties, but a group within generation X is bucking the trend. The reasons are unclear, but it could be because there were more drug users in this generation to start with. “People who started taking drugs in the 1990s realised there weren’t enough police to go around and they were going to get away with it,” says Sumnall. “In the 70s and 80s young people were more scared of being caught.”
What can we do about this mounting death rate? The odd thing about drug problems is how helpless governments tend to be in the face of them – Britain can do very little about the purity and price of cocaine, mostly driven by international factors. Law enforcement only goes so far when people are consuming drugs en masse and mostly in private. And there is scant evidence that dramatic campaigns such as “Just Say No” did anything to deter people from drugs.
There are just two things that might work, says Hamilton. One is harm reduction: at present, treatment centres are mostly set up to help with opiates, and, unlike with heroin and methadone, there are no substitute drugs with which to treat cocaine addicts. There is some evidence, too, that data-driven education, rather than “scare” campaigns, might help break the cycle of normalisation. A recent study found that giving young adults information about how drugs affect the brain, backed up by reputable neuroscientific research, made them less likely to dabble.
But another psychological block stands in the way of all this, which is that people tend to be reluctant to spend money to help drug users. In the 1980s, taxpayers were persuaded to fund harm-reduction programmes only because injecting heroin was associated with the wider spread of HIV. Then, under Tony Blair, spending on drug treatment was framed as a means to reduce crime. Can today’s voters be convinced that it is worth helping coke-addled 40-year-olds not to die?
We need to shift the mindset of cocaine users. But to do so we must shift our own. That may be harder than it seems.

Tommy Robinson jailed for contempt of court
Tommy Robinson has been jailed for 18 months after admitting contempt of court by repeating false claims against a Syrian refugee.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, admitted 10 breaches of a High Court order made in 2021 during a hearing in Woolwich Crown Court.
Lawyers for the solicitor general accused Robinson, 41, of “undermining” the rule of law.
Barristers for Robinson said it was his “principles that have brought him before the court”.
The hearing on Monday was the culmination of events that date back to October 2018.
That month, a video went viral showing how Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian in West Yorkshire, had been attacked by another teenager at school.
Yaxley-Lennon then posted his own response to one million Facebook followers alleging that his investigation had established that Mr Hijazi was a violent thug, a claim that was untrue.
The Yaxley-Lennon video spread widely and the Syrian teenager and his family received death threats.
Three years later, Mr Hijazi won £100,000 in damages when the High Court ruled the Yaxley-Lennon’s claims against him had amounted to defamation.
The court imposed an injunction on Yaxley-Lennon, banning him from making the false claims again.
In February 2023, Yaxley-Lennon began repeating the claims and went on to post online a film claiming he had been “silenced” by the state.
That film may have been viewed at least 47 million times.
Eventually, this July, Yaxley-Lennon showed the film to thousands of his supporters in Trafalgar Square, saying he would not be silenced. The following day he left the country.
Aidan Eardley KC, for the solicitor general, told the court that Yaxley-Lennon had intended to repeat the false allegations, despite the injunction, and then take “evasive” measures.
“This is a high culpability case because of the high number of breaches,” said Mr Eardley.
“It is a continuing breach, the material is still out there and some of it is under the defendant’s control.”
Sasha Wass KC, for Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, said he was a journalist who had been following his principles and was a passionate believer in free speech.
“This defendant has been neither sly nor dishonest nor seeking gain for himself,” she said.
She said that he was such a controversial figure he may be placed in solitary confinement by prison governors, as had occurred the last time he had been jailed, and there was medical evidence he had previously suffered trauma, panic attacks and nightmares.
Jailing Yaxley-Lennon for 18 months, Mr Justice Johnson said: “In a democratic society underpinned by the rule of law, court orders must be obeyed.
“Nobody is above the law. Nobody can pick or choose which laws or which injunctions they obey, or which they do not.
“Even if they believe that an injunction is… contrary to their views they must comply with the injunction.
“They are not entitled to set themselves up as the judge in their own court. Otherwise the administration of justice and rule of law would break down.”
The judge said that the contempt of court had been aggravated because the defendant had repeated the claims after the beginning of proceedings against him – and he had not taken steps to stop the false claims continuing to be in circulation.
The sentence could in future be cut by four months if the defendant showed the court that he had taken steps to remove the offending film.
But the judge added: “The defendant has not shown any inclination to comply with the injunction in the future. All of his actions suggest that he regards himself as above the law.”
This case was the fourth contempt case he has faced, having previously received a suspended sentence and a six-month jail term.
Yaxley-Lennon has been separately charged with failing to unlock his phone for police when he was stopped and questioned at a port under counter-terrorism powers. He will next appear in court in relation to that allegation in November.

Bus fares cap in England to be raised to £3
The bus fare cap in England will be raised to £3 in the upcoming Budget, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced.
It is an increase on the current limit of £2 which was introduced under the previous Conservative government to help with the cost of living.
The existing cap was due to expire at the end of December.
Sir Keir said: “I do know how much this matters, particularly in rural communities where there is heavy reliance on buses.”
The new £3 cap will run until the end of 2025.
There had been speculation in recent days that the chancellor would announce in the Budget on Wednesday that the current cap would be scrapped.
This would have meant that some passengers faced a steep hike in fares following two years of help.
Around 3.4 million people in England use buses. The Confederation of Passenger Transport said raising the cap from £2 has avoided travellers facing a “cliff edge” at the end of this year.
But it said: “An increase to £3 will still present challenges for many passengers, particularly those who rely on buses as their primary means of affordable travel.”
Greenpeace said it was a “‘tough decision’ the government didn’t need to make”.
“It makes no political, economical or environmental sense whatsoever,” said Paul Morozzo, Greenpeace’s UK’s senior transport campaigner.
He said buses are a “critical lifeline to millions of people, particularly those on lower incomes”.
“A government that was truly prioritising the needs of the poorest in society would rethink this decision at the first opportunity,” he said.

PM ‘shocked’ by CCTV appearing to show Mike Amesbury MP punch man
The Prime Minister has said video footage that has emerged of MP Mike Amesbury appearing to punch a man to the ground is “shocking”.
Mr Amesbury has been suspended from the party and had the Labour whip withdrawn after CCTV footage appeared on Sunday.
Sir Keir Starmer said the party had “moved very swiftly” to respond after the footage was published.
He added: “There is now a police investigation and in the circumstances you’ll appreciate there’s not much more I can say about that.”
Cheshire Police said a 55-year-old man had been voluntarily interviewed under caution in relation to the incident and had since been released pending further enquiries.
In footage obtained by the Daily Mail, the Runcorn and Helsby MP is apparently seen continuing to hit the man as he lies in the street.
Amesbury has been contacted for comment.
A different video, posted on X, purported to show Amesbury shouting and swearing at the man lying in the street in Frodsham, Cheshire.

How UK is preparing for new US president
“To everyone’s astonishment, the vulgar insurgent has won!”
So wrote a British foreign minister in his diaries on 9 November 2016 after Donald Trump unexpectedly beat Hillary Clinton to the White House.
“This looked remarkably like an abuse of power.”
So wrote the then prime minister in her memoirs after waking up to realise that a Trump-led Washington had said US troops would be pulled out of the fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria “without any reference to the UK and other nations whose troops were operating alongside them”.
Sir Alan Duncan and Theresa May are the authors of these remarks which the present prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, would do well to note as he ponders what difference a Trump or Kamala Harris presidency could make to the so-called special relationship between the UK and the US.
“Dealing with Donald Trump and his administration was like dealing with no other world leader,” writes the now Lady May in her book reflecting on her career.
“He was an American president like no other.”
There will be challenges, too, if the Democratic vice-president wins. She has yet to meet Sir Keir and has shown limited affinity for Europe – but she will be a vastly more conventional president than her rival.
On the off-chance that Sir Keir thought things might be different this time if Trump wins next week, the last few days showed him otherwise.
The accusation of election interference made by the Trump campaign, courtesy of an, at best, foolishly written LinkedIn post blew up into a transatlantic spat.
“This needs to be seen for what it is. It’s happened every election, every political party does it,” Sir Keir told me, in reference to people volunteering to work for one side or the other in American elections.
But the difference was obvious. On previous occasions it hasn’t caused an almighty row.
It was a reminder that Team Trump can be brash, unpredictable and have a long memory for perceived slights – and don’t appear to really give a stuff about their relationship with the British government.
What on earth might happen to the UK’s most cherished overseas partnership if he wins?
Until the row in the past week, things had, on the face of it, been going well for the new prime minister and US relations.
A few weeks ago Sir Keir and Foreign Secretary David Lammy were in New York to meet the former president, with me accompanying them.
Teetering on a pavement on Fifth Avenue with the 58-storey Trump Tower behind me, we were trying to perfect the angle for broadcast so the garish gold lettering spelling out “TRUMP TOWER” was visible to viewers, even if a giant lorry barrelled down the road as I started talking.
I think we managed it. But a similar balancing act faced the two men – they were in New York for the United Nations General Assembly but much of the chat on the trip was not about them meeting one of the world leaders present but whether they could get time with a candidate hoping to become one, Donald Trump.
And they did get that meeting – which tells you rather a lot about the work British diplomats in America and London have been putting in and the determination of Sir Keir and Mr Lammy to build bridges with the man who may be president again before long.
The prime minister later told me on BBC’s Newscast that “we both wanted to ensure we have a good relationship”.
“It’s up to me as prime minister to make sure I have a good relationship with whoever the president is,” he said.
“I believe strongly in personal relations. Have the ability to, as necessary, pick up the phone to them to sort out issues or talk about issues. So it was a good dinner and I’m really glad that we managed to do it.”
Glad, no doubt at least in part, because of the buckets full of disobliging quotes there are about Trump, not least from David Lammy, who once described his host as a “woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath” and a “tyrant in a toupee”.
There are no shortage of verbal skeletons in Labour’s cupboard about the man who could soon be back in the Oval Office.
In policy terms, a Trump presidency would likely bring rapid change – on climate change, on international trade (whacking up import taxes, tariffs) and on Ukraine.
Unlike a Harris administration, they would likely offer the UK a free trade deal, but it seems unlikely the terms of it would tempt London to sign up.
So what of Trump’s Democratic rival, the vice-president Kamala Harris?
Diplomatic niceties suggest if you meet one candidate in a foreign election contest, you meet the other one too.
But that isn’t likely to happen with Harris, despite Sir Keir visiting America three times since July.
No 10 blames the pressures on the vice-president’s diary in an election campaign.
It is worth stating the obvious too – while Sir Keir and Harris have never met, she is a vastly more known quantity and far more likely to be conventional in her approach to high office than her rival.
And Sir Keir has gone out of his way to spend a lot of time with President Biden in the last four months, including two trips to the White House and a recent meeting in Berlin.
An imperfect way of getting a sense of how his vice-president might govern – and with no opportunity to build a personal relationship – but not entirely useless at getting something of a handle on it.
Oh and it is worth making a very big picture point too – whoever wins. Increasingly, America’s focus is on the rise of the east and in particular China. Europe matters less to Washington than it did and that holds true whatever the result.
And so Westminster and the world awaits.
Whatever happens, expect the conversation to quickly turn to if and when the prime minister gets an early invite to Washington in the new year.
There will be a queue of leaders heading to the White House.
And what about a state visit to the UK – as Donald Trump revelled in, in 2019 – for a returning president like no other or for America’s first woman president?
Let’s see.
Between now and the US election on 5 November, BBC correspondents around the world are exploring the impact its outcome could have where they are, and what people around the globe make of this White House race.

Working people know who they are
The prime minister says “working people know exactly who they are” in a speech ahead of the Budget.
Speaking in the West Midlands, Sir Keir Starmer stressed that working people are the “golden thread” that runs through his government’s agenda.
On Wednesday, Chancellor Rachel Reeves will deliver Labour’s first Budget for 14 years.

PM to warn of ‘harsh light’ of reality ahead in Budget
The Budget will embrace the “harsh light of fiscal reality” but “better days are ahead”, Sir Keir Starmer will say in a speech ahead of Wednesday’s announcement.
The prime minister is expected to warn of “unprecedented” economic challenges but will say the government will “run towards them” as Labour prepares for its first Budget in almost 15 years.
The government is expected to announce a series of expected tax hikes, including a rise in the National Insurance (NICs) rate paid by employers which some claim breaks Labour’s manifesto pledge not to increase taxes for “working people”.
The Conservatives have accused Sir Keir of running a government of “broken promises”.
At a speech in the West Midlands on Monday, Sir Keir will argue that the country faces an “unprecedented” challenge of weak public finances alongside “crumbling public services”.
He will promise to face what he calls “the tough decisions”.
Speculation has been growing about the tax rises the chancellor will announce on Wednesday, with Rachel Reeves claiming there is a £22bn “hole” in the public finances left by the previous government.
Last week, Reeves signalled that businesses would face an increase in National Insurance, when she said Labour’s election pledge not to increase contributions on “working people” related to the staff element, as opposed to the sum paid by employers.
Other than National Insurance for employers, the freezing of income tax thresholds could be extended.
This means more people are “dragged” into paying tax or paying a higher rate and wages rise and cross the thresholds.
The government is also looking at increasing tax on asset sales, such as shares and property, as well as changing its own self-imposed rules on how its debts are measured in order to free up money for spending on infrastructure projects.
