Big policy announcements and emotional moments as the prime minister delivers a speech to Labour's conference.

作者:布赖恩·惠勒(Brian Wheeler) 安迪·伯纳姆(Andy Burnham)首次以党魁兼首相身份在工党大会上发表了讲话。以下是演讲的几个亮点。

By Brian Wheeler Andy Burnham has delivered his first speech to the Labour conference as party leader and prime minister. Here is what stood out.

  1. 轻松的氛围,严肃的内容安迪·伯纳姆不打领带,在利物浦的大会舞台上自由走动,摆脱了传统党魁演讲讲台的束缚,这并不令人意外。
  1. Relaxed vibes, serious content It was no surprise to see Andy Burnham tieless and roaming the conference stage in Liverpool, unanchored by the traditional leader's speech podium.

但尽管有着类似TED演讲的轻松氛围,这是一场清醒而严肃的演讲。他阐述了重大的新政策——这在这些场合并不总是顺理成章的——并饱含真情地谈到了他的家人和工人阶级根基。

But despite the relaxed TED talk vibe, this was sober and serious speech. He set out major new policies - not always a given on these occasions - and spoke with real emotion about his family and working class roots.

演讲中几乎没有什么笑话——与他的前任基尔·斯塔默爵士去年的演讲形成鲜明对照的是,他没有一次提及奈杰尔·法拉奇或克米·巴德诺克。

There were few jokes - and in stark contrast to his predecessor Sir Keir Starmer's speech last year, he did not mention Nigel Farage or Kemi Badenoch once.

但他也避开了他所面临的一些棘手问题,例如福利改革以及他的政府将如何为承诺增加的国防开支买单。

But he also avoided mention of some of the trickier issues he faces, such as welfare reform and how his government will pay for promised increases in defence spending.

  1. 重振公共控制他的演讲很大一部分是针对党内忠实支持者的,承诺“打破过去40年的发展方向,为英国开辟一条新道路”,并重拾传统的工党价值观。这在会场大受欢迎。我们在一个多小时内数出了11次起立鼓掌。
  1. Bringing back public control Much of his speech was aimed at the party faithful, with a promise to "break with the direction of the past 40 years and put Britain on a new path", and bring back traditional Labour values. It went down extremely well in the hall. We counted 11 standing ovations in just over an hour.

第一次掌声出现在他誓言推翻玛格丽特·撒切尔在20世纪80年代的改革、让公众对住房、水务和能源拥有更大控制权的时候。

The first came when he vowed to overturn Margaret Thatcher's 1980s reforms to give the public greater control over housing, water and energy.

新内容是一项计划,即在今年晚些时候通过立法,废除撒切尔“对水务公司公共所有权的意识形态禁令”。

The new part was a plan to legislate later this year to repeal Thatcher's "ideological ban on public ownership of water companies".

他说,这将使英国走上通往“截然不同水务系统”的10年转型之路——尽管并未明确承诺重新国有化。

He said this would put the UK on a 10-year path to a "very different water system" - although there was not an explicit commitment to renationalisation.

  1. 养老金三重锁的博弈在演讲前的几天里,外界普遍揣测伯纳姆是否会废除国家养老金三重锁(该机制保证养老金的增长幅度与通货膨胀率、工资增长率或2.5%中的最高值保持一致)。最终,情况比这要微妙一些。
  1. Pensions triple lock gamble The run up to the speech was dominated by speculation about whether Burnham would scrap the state pension triple lock, which guarantees increases in line with the highest of inflation, earnings or 2.5%. In the end, it was a bit more nuanced than that.

他表示,他将“兑现”工党在当前议会任期结束前保留养老金“三重锁定”(triple lock)机制的承诺。

He said he would "honour" Labour's commitment to keep the triple lock until the end of the current Parliament.

但根据伯恩汉姆的计划,从2030年4月起,国家养老金每年将按通货膨胀率或2.5%中较高的一项进行上调——如有必要,某些年份还会进一步增加,以跟上普通工人的平均收入增长步伐。

But from April 2030, the state pension would rise every year by inflation or 2.5%, whichever is higher, under Burnham's plans - and it will be increased in some years if needed to keep pace with average worker earnings.

他说,这一改变将“产生大量节余”,以为他长期以来在英格兰建立国家护理服务体系(National Care Service)的宏伟目标提供资金。他在会议上表示:“我接受我可能会为此付出政治代价。”“但总得有人挺过痛苦关卡,把这块伤口上的纱布撕下来。”

The change, he said, would "generate significant savings" to fund his long-held ambition of creating a National Care Service in England. "I accept I may pay a political price," he told the conference. "But someone has to go through the pain barrier and rip the plaster off."

  1. 选举改革受到大会欢呼伯恩汉姆毫不掩饰自己想要废除威斯敏斯特“多数代表制”(first-past-the-post)投票系统的愿望。
  1. Electoral reform cheered by conference Burnham has made no secret of his desire to scrap Westminster's first-past-the-post voting system.

他宣布成立一个关于选举改革的国家委员会,这一消息在会场内获得了许多一直呼吁改革的人的热烈欢迎。

And his announcement of a national commission on electoral reform went down very well with many in the hall, who have been calling for it.

他在欢呼声中说道:“我们将在下一届大选中以竞选宣言承诺的形式改变选举系统,让每个人的投票都算数,让每个人的声音都被听到。”

"We will contest the next election with a manifesto commitment to change the electoral system so that everyone's vote counts and everyone's voice is heard," he said to cheers.

  1. 对已故父亲的情感致敬在演讲接近尾声时,伯恩汉姆显得情绪激动,有那么一瞬间,他似乎无法继续讲下去。
  1. Emotional tribute to late father As he neared the end of his speech, Burnham appeared overcome by emotion and it looked for a brief moment as though he could not carry on.

他当时正在谈论他的父亲罗伊(Roy),他的父亲本月初因患阿尔茨海默病去世。

He was speaking about his father Roy, who he lost to Alzheimer's earlier this month.

伯恩汉姆在谈到自己履新第一天时说:“要是,要是他当时能体会到全家人在唐宁街的那一刻就好了。”

"If only, if only he had been able to appreciate that moment of the family in Downing Street," Burnham said of his first day in his new role.

“一个考试未过关者的儿子成为了首相。”全场最长时间的起立鼓掌出现在他承诺“利用这份工作来建设我父亲希望看到的英国——并倾尽我所有的一切去维护它的团结”之时。以及紧跟威斯敏斯特及其他地方的内部运作动态。

"The son of a man who failed his 11-plus becoming prime minister." The longest ovation of all came when he pledged to "use this job to build the kind of Britain my dad wanted to see – and fight with everything I've got to keep it together".
