Burnham slaps down Rayner's 'mascara and wine' 'survival kit' as Labour tells Britons to stockpile food and water

Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Britons need 'a clear head' in a crisis, rebuking Housing Secretary Angela Rayner while she sat beside him. She had picked sauvignon blanc, concealer and custard for her disaster bag. The 'Be Ready' guidance urges three days of water, tins, cash and a wind-up radio. Defence Secretary Wes Streeting denies scaremongering, urging people to be 'alert not alarmed'.

Burnham conceded people are 'allowed a glass or two' to get through.

Streeting warns cyber attacks could knock out supply chains of essentials.

The PM's own emergency staples are beans, soup and Twiglets.
