We have been advised by the government to stockpile for 3 days but I am not clear why? Is it weather conditions or interference from hostile states? Or is it a government ploy to distract us from the Budget which will containing huge tax rises for some ?

I can't see where the budget comes into it. Is this not old news? From August ?

From that-

"The Cabinet Office said: “Safeguarding national security is the first priority of any government.
“We’re committed to raising awareness of simple steps households can take to make themselves more resilient, as well as driving forward the home defence programme to build our country’s preparedness for various threats.”"

And given the news just now is about an issue with the internet, It looks like the chances of a net failure is very real. And that would cause major problems with the supply chain.
