保罗·塞登（Paul Seddon）与尤安·萨默维尔（Ewan Somerville）报道：扎克·波兰斯基（Zack Polanski）将在稍后召开的绿党大会开幕式上呼吁，对私人租金上涨实施为期三年的“紧急制动”。
Polanski is set to call for a three-year "emergency brake" on private rent increases when he opens the Green Party's conference later.
在周五下午向党内活动人士发表的演讲中，这位绿党领导人将试图把住房问题定义为代际公平的关键议题。
In his speech to party activists on Friday afternoon, the Green leader will seek to frame housing as a key issue of generational fairness.
他将敦促政府在未来三年内，将私人租金的涨幅限制在消费者价格指数（CPI）通胀率、工资增长率或2%这三者中的最低值以内。
He will urge the government to prevent private rents rising above whichever is lowest out of the consumer price index measure of inflation, wage growth or 2%, for three years.
据该党称，他还将指出，正是来自绿党的压力迫使工党在某些议题上改变了政治方向。
According to the party, he will also argue pressure from the Greens has forced Labour into a change of political direction on some issues.
英格兰和威尔士绿党将此次在布莱顿举行的集会称为其史上规模最大的一次。此前，该党在今年早些时候宣布，自波兰斯基一年多前当选领导人以来，其党员人数已增长了两倍。
The Green Party of England and Wales is billing the gathering in Brighton as its biggest ever, after announcing earlier this year that its membership had tripled since Polanski's election as leader just over a year ago.
预计波兰斯基将在演讲中表示，由于租金高昂，各年龄段的人群不得不与父母同住，这包括需要通勤上大学的19岁年轻人、找不到工作的25岁青年，以及带着伴侣搬回父母家的35岁人群。
In his speech, Polanski is expected to say generations are having to live with their parents because of rent prices, from 19-year-olds commuting to university, 25-year-olds unable to find a job, to 35-year-olds moving back home with their partners.
他预计将说：“长期以来，房东一直能够将租金涨幅远远甩在工资增长之后，迫使租房者为了有瓦遮头而不得不承担高昂成本，并在其他所有开支上不断削减、削减、再削减。”
"For too long, landlords have been able to hike prices way beyond wages, leaving renters forced to meet the cost to keep a roof over their heads, cutting back and back and back on everything else," he is expected to say.
他预计还将表示，放缓私人租金上涨速度“将为租房者提供至关重要的喘息空间”，并为部长们争取时间，以制定一项全国性的“公平租金保障”计划，从而确保未来的租金保持在可负担水平。
A slowdown on private rent increases "would give renters vital breathing space" and give time for ministers to create a national Fair Rents Guarantee that keeps rents affordable for the future, he is expected to say.
今年早些时候，政府出台了《租房者权利法案》，根据该法案，房东每年只能将租金上调一次，且涨幅不得超过该房产的市场公开价格。
Earlier this year, the government brought in the Renters' Rights Act under which landlords can only increase rent once a year to the property's open market rate.
根据英国国家统计局的数据，在截至2026年1月的12个月内，英国私人租金平均每月上涨了3.5%，达到1377英镑。
Average UK monthly private rents increased by 3.5%, to £1,377, in the 12 months to January 2026, according to the Office for National Statistics.
该法案还规定租赁合同改为滚动式而非固定期限，并增加了房东驱逐租客的难度。
The Act also means tenancies are rolling rather than fixed term, and makes it harder for landlords to evict tenants.
但波兰斯基预计将辩称，该措施在消除英国数百万私人租户的“恐惧与不确定性”方面仍不够彻底。
But Polanski is expected to argue it does not go far enough in ending "fear and uncertainty" for the millions of private renters in the UK.
财政研究所此前曾警告称，租金管制——这是绿党长期倡导的议题——将导致“意外后果”，包括租赁市场中需求超过供给。
The Institute for Fiscal Studies has previously warned that rent controls - an issue the Greens have long campaigned for - would result in "unintended consequences" including demand exceeding supply in the rental market.
绿党此次大会召开之际，该党今年早些时候在英格兰地方选举中赢得了数百个议员席位，并在梅克菲尔德补选中赢得了其第五名国会议员汉娜·斯宾塞。
The Green conference follows the party gaining hundreds of councillors earlier this year at England's local elections and its fifth MP, Hannah Spencer, in the Makerfield by-election.
但迹象显示，该党在全国民调中的上升势头近几个月来可能已陷入停滞，同时该党还面临如何回应工党在安迪·伯纳姆领导下领导层更迭的质疑。
But there are signs its rise in national polls may have stalled in recent months, while the party also faces questions over how to react to Labour's change of leadership under Andy Burnham.
自伯纳姆出任首相以来，工党在多个领域调整了立场，此前工党在这些领域有被绿党在政治上侧翼包抄的风险。
Since Burnham became prime minister, Labour has shifted its stance in a number of areas where it had been in danger of being outflanked politically by the Greens.
在大会前夕接受采访时，绿党联合副领袖蕾切尔·米尔沃德表示，工党目前在言论上与其党“处于更为相似的立场”。
In an interview ahead of the conference, the party's co-deputy leader Rachel Millward said Labour was now "rhetorically, on a much more similar ground" to her party.
这包括伯纳姆在选举改革方面的转向，绿党长期要求对威斯敏斯特的投票制度进行彻底改革，以及为未来与欧盟建立更紧密的关系敞开大门。
This includes Burnham's move towards electoral reform, where the Greens have long demanded a shake-up of the Westminster voting system, and opening the door to a much closer future relationship with the European Union.
工党还宣布对以色列在约旦河西岸建立的、被国际法视为非法的定居点实施制裁，并重启难民安置计划。
Labour has also announced sanctions on Israeli West Bank settlements deemed illegal under international law, and the reopening of a scheme to resettle refugees.
波兰斯基在大会前表示，这两项政策是其党对工党施加选举压力的结果。
Speaking ahead of the conference, Polanski claimed those two policies were a result of the electoral pressure his party has applied to Labour.
然而，大会的时机可能对波兰斯基颇为尴尬，他正代表绿党参加下周举行的霍尔本和圣潘克拉斯补选，该补选由基尔·斯塔默爵士决定退出议会而触发。
The timing of the conference could, however, prove awkward for Polanski, who is standing for the Greens in next week's Holborn and St Pancras by-election triggered by Sir Keir Starmer's decision to leave Parliament.
波兰斯基上周表示，他计划在领导人发表演讲后“立即返回”伦敦中部的该选区。
Polanski said last week he was intending to come "straight back" to the central London seat after his leader's speech.
他甚至敦促该党的活动人士在周末离开会议，去帮助他进行竞选活动。
He has even urged the party's activists to leave the conference over the weekend to help him campaign.
赢得这场竞选将使绿党获得在首都的第一个席位，但这需要他们推翻工党在2024年上次选举中建立的巨大优势。候选人完整名单可在此处查看。以跟进威斯敏斯特及其他地区的内部运作。
Victory in the contest would give the Greens their first seat in the capital, but would require them to overturn a huge Labour majority from the last election in 2024. A full list of candidates can be found here.
