Throughout the nation infrastructure maintenance and security is at the bottom of the budget list and that is seen for instance in our water supply, roads and rail maintenance, IT systems, schools and the recent issues at Heathrow. But don't worry, Starmer is going to cut millions off more budgets which will make everything better

I noticed the reports (on Sky and in The Guardian to name two) the other day that the French government are planning to issue a guide booklet to be sent to every home about surviving an emergency situation, including - as well the obvious stuff about food, drink, medical supplies - advice on "How to join defence units" amid the possibility of armed conflict/civil unrest. It's awaiting approval.
Apparently Sweden published something similar a year or so ago.
