The article from MSN discusses the heightened concerns over the Islamic State (ISIS) terror threat to the UK, particularly in light of recent events in Moscow. Security experts and officials are worried about the potential for similar attacks in the UK, especially as the terror threat level remains "substantial," indicating that an attack is likely. The article highlights the strain on UK security services due to budget cuts, with the Metropolitan Police facing significant financial challenges. This has led to concerns about the ability to adequately fund and resource counter-terrorism efforts. There's a call for increased funding to bolster security measures, including surveillance, intelligence, and community policing to prevent radicalization. The piece also mentions the need for international cooperation to tackle the global threat posed by ISIS, emphasizing that the UK's security is interconnected with global stability.
