Assaulting shopworkers to become specific offence in new law
The government has made a U-turn following a campaign to make assaulting a shop worker a separate criminal offence.
Rishi Sunak announced on Wednesday that his government would be amending its Criminal Justice Bill to bring in the new offence.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said that while the U-turn is welcome, the government "are still not going far enough to tackle shoplifting and the blight on our town centres."

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has expressed her support for Angela Rayner despite questions surrounding whether the deputy leader should have paid capital gains tax on the sale of her old council house in 2015. Ms Cooper hopes a line will be drawn under the issue when Ms Rayner sets out the facts to the police and HMRC, and argues the Conservatives are attempting to focus on this from 10 years ago rather than the current pressures on the NHS and the cost of living.
