- Defence Secretary Wes Streeting has warned that Britain must be ready to defend itself against potential attacks from adversaries by 2030, giving the nation just over 1,000 days to prepare.
- The warning coincides with the government's Be Ready campaign, which urges citizens to prepare for state-sponsored terrorism, cyber attacks, or weather emergencies.
- Households are being asked to stock up on nine litres of bottled water, three days' worth of food, cash, blankets, torches, and first-aid kits to build national resilience.
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham supported the campaign, describing the emergency preparations as sensible measures rather than cause for panic.
- MI5 Director General Sir Ken McCallum warned that threats to critical infrastructure will endure, saying that the post-Cold War era of geopolitical stability has officially ended.
