英国反对党保守党呼吁工党政府在下周公布的预算案中削减开支和借款。保守党领袖凯米·巴德诺赫阐述了该党的经济方针，试图重新赢得选民的信心。
Britain's opposition Conservative Party called on the Labour government to cut spending and borrowing at next week's budget, as leader Kemi Badenoch set out her party's approach to the economy in an effort to win back voters' confidence.
英国财政大臣约翰·希利将于10月28日公布他的首份预算案。他承诺遵守限制借款的财政规则，但也表示将纳入缓解生活成本的措施，并试图刺激经济增长。
British finance minister John Healey delivers his first budget on October 28. He has pledged to stick to fiscal rules which limit borrowing, but has also indicated he will include measures to ease living costs and try to stimulate growth.
面对有限的回旋余地，希利为对银行业加税留出了可能性，但一些决定，例如为国防开支增加提供资金的整体计划，要到明年才会做出。
Facing limited room for manoeuvre, Healey has left the door open for tax rises on the banking sector, but some decisions, such as a broad plan to fund increases in defence spending, are not due to be taken until next year.
为了挽回保守党在经济管理方面受损的声誉，巴德诺赫批评了现任政府，称其拖延重大决策，呼吁立即削减福利以资助国防，并警告称提高银行税将损害经济增长。
Seeking to rehabilitate her party's battered reputation for economic management, Badenoch criticised the current government, saying it was putting off big decisions, calling for immediate welfare cuts to fund defence, and warning that higher bank taxes would harm growth.
巴德诺赫在伦敦发表演讲后对记者说：“当经济在增长时，这些问题中的许多都会消失，而我从这位首相或他的财政大臣那里没有听到任何增长计划。”
"Many of these problems disappear when the economy is growing, and I do not hear any plans for growth from this prime minister or his chancellor," Badenoch told reporters after a speech in London.
“让我们削减开支。让我们量入为出，让我们推行真正能促进经济增长的政策。”工党也表示希望削减福利开支，但其计划更为长期，主要通过让人们重返工作岗位来减少福利领取。
"Let's cut spending. Let's live within our means, and let's bring in policies that will actually grow our economy." Labour has also said it wants to cut welfare spending, but its plans are longer-term, designed to reduce the take-up of benefits primarily by getting people back into work.
保守党在执政14年后于2024年大选中落败。在其执政期间，经济增长缓慢，政府借款大幅增加，而且在英国脱欧、新冠疫情和经济危机之后，保守党接连更换了多位首相。
The Conservatives lost the 2024 election after 14 years in government marked by slow economic growth and a big increase in government borrowing as they churned through several prime ministers in the wake of Brexit, COVID and economic crises.
巴德诺赫承认了前任政府（她曾在其中担任部长）的错误，但表示保守党现在处于“新管理层”之下。
Badenoch acknowledged mistakes of the previous government, in which she served as a minister, but said the Conservatives were now under "new management".
保守党在民调中重新夺回了部分此前失给英国改革党的支持，英国将于2029年中期前举行全国大选。工党目前在民调中领先，位居英国改革党之前。
The Conservatives have regained some of the ground they had lost to Reform UK in the polls ahead of a national election due by mid-2029. Labour are currently top in opinion polls ahead of Reform.
