Calls for Increased Defense Spending

呼籲增加國防開支

The announcement comes amid growing criticism of the government's resistance to calls for an increase in defense spending. Concerns have been raised about the global risk posed by countries like Russia and China. Foreign Office Minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan and Security Minister Tom Tugendhat have called for a "much greater pace" of investment, while Defense Secretary Grant Shapps has said he wants a "bigger budget" and has called for military spending to be increased to 3% of GDP.

這項消息發布之際，政府拒絕增加國防開支的呼籲受到越來越多的批評。人們對俄羅斯和中國等國家構成的全球風險表示擔憂。外交部長安妮-瑪麗·特里維廉和安全部長湯姆·圖根哈特呼籲“加快投資步伐”，而國防部長格蘭特·沙普斯則表示他希望有“更大的預算”，並呼籲將軍費開支增加到3%的GDP。

Barrow Transformation Fund

巴羅轉型基金

The Barrow Transformation Fund will be managed by the Barrow Delivery Board in collaboration with local leaders, who will allocate funding to areas of greatest need.

巴羅轉型基金將由巴羅交付委員會與當地領導人合作管理，他們將把資金分配給最需要的領域。財政部最初提供的 2000 萬英鎊將用於完成 A595 格里茲貝克繞道建設和「支持人們工作」等項目。

Political Reactions

政治反應

John Healey, the Labour Party's shadow defense secretary, welcomed the government's commitment but said Labour had "long argued" for ministers to secure jobs in Barrow and that Britain would be "better defended" under his party.

工黨影子國防部長約翰·希利對政府的承諾表示歡迎，但表示工黨“長期以來一直主張”部長們確保巴羅的工作崗位，並且在他的政黨領導下，英國將得到“更好的保衛” 。

SNP defense spokesperson Martin Docherty-Hughes MP condemned the plans to "waste another £200 million" on nuclear and accused both main parties of focusing on "the wrong priorities."

蘇格蘭民族黨國防發言人Martin Docherty-Hughes MP譴責了在核問題上「再浪費2億英鎊」的計劃，並指責兩個主要政黨都把重點放在了「錯誤的優先事項」上。

Labour's Energy Plan

工黨能源計劃

Meanwhile, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer will travel to North Wales to renew the party's commitment to a publicly owned clean energy company that it says could "get (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's boot off our throat."

與此同時，工黨領袖凱爾·斯塔默爵士將前往北威爾士，重申該黨對一家公有清潔能源公司的承諾，該公司稱這家公司可以「讓（俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾）普丁擺脫我們的喉嚨」。

Sir Keir will pledge to "turbocharge jobs and growth" for Wales with GB Energy, a plan to boost homegrown green power including wind farms and carbon capture.

基爾爵士將承諾透過 GB Energy 為威爾斯“推動就業和成長”，該計劃旨在促進本土綠色電力，包括風電場和碳捕獲。

"In an increasingly insecure world, with tyrants using energy as an economic weapon, Britain must take back control of our national energy security," Sir Keir said. "After 14 years of a Tory Government kowtowing to fossil fuel dictators, Labour's plan for energy independence would get Putin's boot off our throat and power up communities across Britain."

凱爾爵士表示：“在一個日益不安全的世界中，暴君們利用能源作為經濟武器，英國必須奪回對我們國家能源安全的控制權。” “在保守黨政府向化石燃料獨裁者卑躬屈膝14年之後，工黨的能源獨立計劃將讓普丁擺脫困境，並為英國各地的社區提供電力。”
