š¢ š¬š§ š„« Britain has urged households to stock enough water, non-perishable food and medicine to be self-sufficient for three days, launching a new āBe Readyā preparedness campaign.
Government guidance recommends about three liters of drinking water per person per day, food that needs no refrigeration or cooking, essential medications, a first-aid kit, a torch, a battery or wind-up radio, a charged power bank and cash.
Officials cited severe storms, wildfires, cyberattacks and supply chain disruptions as the main risks, with Defence Secretary Wes Streeting pointing to āincreasingly sophisticated cyber attacksā and scenarios such as supermarket payment systems going down.
Germany has long gone further, recommending households keep emergency supplies for 10 days, including about two liters of liquid per person per day.

Why we think this election will be the first real nail in the coffin for Trumpism.
It has been said so many times it's become a meme, āthe walls are closing inā āNo way he wiggles out of this jam!ā etc. This time it's not a joke, the armor that Trump has had around him for a decade is clearly slipping off.
Trumpās approval by his own 2024 voters continues to rapidly decline, damaged by the nonstop rampant corruption and the Iran War.
Trump approval within the GOP, despite remaining strong on paper, is actually at its lowest since 2015 before he won the 2016 primary. The Iran War in particular has nuked his bedrock fanatical support within the GOP base when looking at not only surveys but also via multiple anecdotes on AM radio talk shows who get callers every day saying they feel betrayed by the war, and that the corruption is becoming unignorable.
GOP activists at the local level are also reporting to their ...
