Britain must be ready for war in 1,000 days, Wes Streeting warns
The government urged households to stock food, water and cash as it warned that Russia could threaten Britain by 2030.
- Defence Secretary Wes Streeting warned yesterday that Britain has about 1,000 days to prepare for potential direct war as adversaries' force strength and war economy could enable attacks by 2030.
- Adversaries' willingness to harm Britain is not new, Streeting noted, but their increasing capacity poses a growing threat. Referencing Russian aggression, he added: "To prevent the worst, we have to prepare for it."
- The government's 'Be Ready' campaign urges Britons to stock nine litres of water, three days of food, blankets, cash, a first-aid kit, a torch, and a wind-up FM radio. Prime Minister Andy Burnham advised taking sensible measures without panicking.
- MI5 director general Sir Ken McCallum called earlier this month for a 'whole-of-society effort' to protect national infrastructure, warning that cyber attacks could disable banking services and drones could disrupt flights.
- The period of comparative geopolitical stability following the Cold War has ended, Sir Ken explained, marking a shift into a more contested era. He warned these risks will endure rather than being temporary.
