EU advises citizens to stockpile food and have 72-hour emergency kit ready amid war fears
Hadja Lahbib, commissioner for humanitarian aid and crisis management, told journalists: "In the EU we must think different because the threats are different, we must think bigger because the threats are bigger too."
She added: “We are saying to member states: 72 hours of self-sufficiency is what we recommend.”
On casting my admittedly creaky mind back to the Brexit referendum debate, I'm sure I don't recall Remainers pointing this out as one of the many EU benefits. Must have missed it.
Maybe this is why "Sir" Keir and his unlovely crew are so keen to sidle back into the EU - everything is now so much bigger and more exciting.

France issued their booklet about a week ago.
Among the items are SIX one litre bottles of water. The only problem is that the picture in the booklet shows SEVEN. Whoops !
We still have our solar-rechargeable lamps from a few panics ago. Rather elegant little things.
DAD - I hope all the planning isn't done to that standard. Doesn't sound like much either way, if adults need about two litres per day.
dearieme - we have some rechargeable lamps, but nothing to charge them with if we have a protracted power cut.
The EU spokesperson on this is called Hadja Lahbib?
Is she French or German?
Sam - could be one of the Normandy Lahbibs.
As a West coaster we know of the tight Edinburger - " Ye'll have Hadja T? "
Doonhammer wins the thread.
You need three months. After that time, the 72 hour mob will have killed each other off for their cans of tuna
Doonhamer - ha ha, can't improve on that.
Anon - I agree, top comment.
Bucko - yes and the issue is water as well as lots of tins, a few hundred litres of it.
