LEFT MP Richard Burgon is to name and shame internet service providers who refuse to block access to a website promoting suicide.

He will use a parliamentary debate to expose the providers allowing the site, linked to 50 deaths in Britain, to reach vulnerable people.

Mr Burgon’s initiative follows the death of his constituent 23-year-old Joe Nihill, who took his own life after accessing content encouraging suicide and deterring people from seeking mental health support.

“Please do your best to close that website for anyone else,” Mr Nihill wrote in a note left for his family.

Several providers have blocked access to the site, but others have failed to act.

The new Online Safety Act will restrict access to such sites, but consultations mean a long lead-in time until that is done.

Mr Burgon said: “Internet Service Providers should be doing all they can to protect people from being exposed to dangerous sites dedicated to pushing people to suicide.

“There is simply no excuse for any other internet provider to be dragging their feet. They need to do the right thing and do it right away.”
