Angela Rayner's disaster kit includes wine and mascara, contradicting UK war advice

UK Housing Secretary Angela Rayner revealed her personal emergency "disaster box" contains beauty products, wine, and comfort food, contradicting official government advice to stockpile survival supplies amid rising war fears with Russia. Speaking at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool on Sunday, Rayner listed mascara, concealer, Sauvignon Blanc, baked beans, and custard as her essential items. Her comments follow Defence Secretary Wes Streeting's warning that Britain faces its greatest risk of war in his lifetime, urging households to stockpile cash, water, and tinned goods. Streeting said Russia is "constantly testing" UK and Nato defences, promising increased defence spending. NATO air defences were triggered for the third time in two days after Russian drone attacks on Ukraine forced Poland to scramble jets and deploy ground-based defences.
