Tinned food, loo roll and power banks: the Brits following advice to stockpile

Brits are stockpiling essential items such as tinned food, loo roll, and power banks in preparation for potential emergencies. This comes after the government launched a campaign advising people to set aside three days' worth of stores to deal with various eventualities. The stockpiling is a precautionary measure against potential disruptions caused by Russian "state-sponsored terrorism" and the impact of the climate crisis. This trend may reflect a growing concern about economic stability and the potential for supply chain disruptions.
