"Its just scaremongering!" Streeting slammed on Question Time over governments Be Ready campaign 🔴

Fiona Bruce asks Wes Streeting a practical question: "What are we supposed to be doing in terms of tins and water?" His answer brings a different concern from the Question Time audience: could telling households to prepare set off panic buying?

In the BBC discussion shared by the Daily Express, Streeting explains that the government's Be Ready campaign covers emergencies such as wildfires, winter flooding and burst water pipes. He lists bottled water, nonperishable food, first-aid kits, flashlights and power banks as supplies households can keep ready.

An audience member challenges the message. "Don't you think that's just scaremongering?" she asks, arguing that people could rush to buy supplies and push prices up. Applause follows her intervention.

The clip's first-day views were ordinary for the Daily Express, but its comment section was nearly seven times busier than usual. Among the practical questions raised there is how people living on the streets could follow household preparedness advice: a problem a cupboard checklist cannot answer on its own.
