war footing: The government response so far has been timid, according to The Guardian.

However, anything less than putting Britain on a war footing will not be enough. Clinging to a belief in the power of free markets, it neglects the fact that to decarbonise the economy greater investment from the state is required. But faced with the scale of the challenge, only government has the weapons powerful enough to tackle the crisis. Free-market advocates detest big government. (news.financializer.com).
