巴罗富矿：英国的核未来

With a hefty £20 million injection of public funds, the Prime Minister is betting on Barrow-in-Furness, the home of Britain's nuclear submarines and Dreadnought program, to fuel its economic growth.

The Barrow Transformation Fund will be managed by the Barrow Delivery Board, a local stakeholder group that will prioritize funding for areas of greatest need. The initial £20 million from the Treasury will fund projects like the A595 Grizebeck Bypass and initiatives to enhance employability.

Defence Spending: A Tug-of-War

国防开支：一场拉锯战

The Barrow announcement comes amid ongoing debate about the adequacy of defense spending. Some within the Tory ranks have called for a "much greater pace" of investment, while Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has advocated for a "bigger budget." The spring Budget, however, offered no new defense funds, with Chancellor Jeremy Hunt pledging a rise to 2.5% of GDP only when economic conditions allow.

巴罗的声明发布之际，关于国防开支是否充足的争论仍在继续。保守党内部的一些人呼吁“加快投资步伐”，而国防部长格兰特·沙普斯则主张“更大的预算”。然而，春季预算没有提供新的国防资金，财政大臣杰里米·亨特承诺只有在经济条件允许的情况下才会将国防资金增加到 GDP 的 2.5%。

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is countering the government's nuclear focus with a pledge to establish a publicly owned clean energy company, GB Energy.

工党领袖凯尔·斯塔默爵士 (Sir Keir Starmer) 承诺建立一家公有清洁能源公司 GB Energy，以对抗政府对核能的关注。斯塔默认为，该计划将“促进威尔士的就业和增长”，并通过减少对俄罗斯能源的依赖来“摆脱普京的束缚”。

SNP defence spokesperson Martin Docherty-Hughes condemned the government's nuclear investment as a "waste," arguing that the main parties are "focusing on the wrong priorities." Labour's John Healey welcomed the government's commitment but asserted that Labour had long advocated for supporting Barrow and that Britain would be "better defended" under their party.

苏格兰民族党国防发言人马丁·多彻蒂-休斯谴责政府的核投资是“浪费”，认为主要政党“把重点放在了错误的优先事项上”。工党的约翰·希利对政府的承诺表示欢迎，但声称工党长期以来一直主张支持巴罗，并且在他们的政党领导下，英国将得到“更好的保卫”。
