So, Paddy, I managed yesterday to avoid asking you what your Spotify age was.

所以，Paddy，我昨天成功避開問你你的 Spotify age 是多少。

哦，對，嗯，我實際年齡是 59 歲。

是的，我們在這上面看起來很棒。

而我的 Spotify Age 是 45 歲，我想。

I don't think it's deliberate, it's just that I'm not much of a Spotify user, so I've got a little stuff on there.

我不認為這是故意的，只是我不太用 Spotify，所以我上面只有一點點東西。

All that Central Cee or Taylor Swift's been bringing the edge down.

Central Cee 或 Taylor Swift 的歌都讓氣氛變沉悶了。

I went into a country vibe because I was working on Radio 2 and I had to research the current hits in that area and I think that's what did it.

我進入了鄉村音樂的氛圍，因為我在 Radio 2 工作，必須研究該領域的熱門歌曲，我想這就是原因。

但我不是那種很常用 Spotify 的人。

I really, in my house, I listen to, on a different format.

我在家裡，我聽的是另一種格式。

BBC Sounds, of course, is the premium audio platform.

BBC Sounds，當然，是頂級的音訊平臺。

But lots of people, newscasters, have been getting in touch to tell us, like marvelous, lovely swats, that newscast was at the top of your list for all the things that you've listened to.

不過很多聽眾，包括 newscaster，都聯絡我們說，很棒，很喜歡，說 newscast 是你聽過的裡面排在最前面的。

So thank you very much indeed for telling us that, including Bea Williams, who wrote to say newscast got my top spot.

所以真的非常感謝你們告訴我們這件事，包括 Bea Williams，她寫信說 newscast 榮登我的首位。

Probably a little late, but thank you for accompanying me through my year.

可能有點晚了，但謝謝你陪我度過這一年。

Well, thank you for being with us, Bea Williams.

嗯，謝謝你一直以來陪伴我們，Bea Williams。

And we now get on with Sunday's newscast.

接下來我們要進行週日的 newscast。

It's Paddy in the studio and it's also Joe pike in the studio.

Paddy 在攝影棚，Joe Pike 也在攝影棚。

So today, the main news in a kind of strange weekend, because it's actually been not a super newsy weekend and we're used to this sort of weekend.

所以今天的主要新聞，在這個有點奇怪的週末，因為其實這個週末新聞不多，我們也習慣這種週末了。

See, Patty's shaking because you haven't got the normal, like, news adrenaline.

你看，Paddy 正在搖頭，因為你沒有平常那種新聞的腎上腺素。

However, the big story from the government's point of view this weekend, which we spent most of our time on the telly box talking about this morning, was the dreadful situation that there are nearly a million people between the age of 16 and 24 who aren't in a job, they're not training, they haven't got an apprenticeship, they're not studying, and they are bunched together in the very ugly acronym of a neat.

不過，政府這週末最關注的大新聞，我們今天早上在電視上花了很多時間討論的，就是一個令人頭痛的狀況：有將近一百萬名 16 到 24 歲的年輕人沒有工作、沒有受訓、沒有學徒身份、也沒有在唸書，他們被集合在一個很難聽的縮寫裡，叫做 neat。

Not in Education, Employment or Training, which I think should be retired as a term because it sounds so horrible.

Not in Education, Employment or Training，我認為這個詞應該被淘汰，因為聽起來太糟糕了。

But, Jo, the government today is coming out with the beginnings of a plan of how to crack this problem.

不過 Jo，政府今天開始提出一個解決這個問題的初步計畫。

They are, Laura, and they're spending £800 million on it.

是的 Laura，他們為此花了八億英鎊。

There are sort of three parts what Pat McFadden, the welfare secretary, was setting out today, the biggest group of people, about 900,000 of them or so, will get intensive advice, that's how he put it, advice about getting back into work, following opportunities, maybe getting some sort of work experience or apprenticeship.

根據 welfare secretary Pat McFadden 今天提出的內容，大概有三大部分：最大群體，大約九十萬人左右，會得到他所說的「密集建議」，關於如何重返職場、尋找機會，也許能獲得一些工作經驗或學徒機會。

There will be work experience or training for about a third of that number.

大約有三分之一的這群人會有工作經驗或訓練。

So 300,000 and then 55,000 will get a subsidized job offer.

所以是三十萬人，然後有五萬五千人會得到一個有補助的職缺。

So those subsidized job offers, minimum wage, 25 hours a week, will be for people who are most persistently unemployed.

這些有補助的職缺，最低工資，每週 25 小時，將提供給那些長期失業最嚴重的人。

So people who have been out of work for 18 months.

所以是那些失業了 18 個月的人。

And it is an acknowledgement that whatever graph you look at, everything seems to be going up.

而且這也承認了，不管你看哪個圖表，所有東西似乎都在上漲。

We know the forecasts of the welfare bill going towards the end of the Parliament are what be adding tens of billions of pounds of public spending.

我們知道，在國會任期結束前，福利法案的預測將會增加數百億英鎊的公共支出。

And this is Labour's attempt to try and sort that out.

而這是工黨試圖解決這個問題的努力。

But I got the sense also from Pat McFadden today that he's also trying to say, look, this is on moral pressure as well, because of the kind of terrible, wasted opportunity for people when they're starting out in the world as young adults.

但從 Pat McFadden 今天的話中，我也感覺到他也在試圖說，看，這也是一種道德壓力，因為當年輕人在踏入社會時，他們錯失了多麼糟糕、浪費的機會。

And it's so hard and of all the evidence and research shows as well, that the longer you're on any kind of benefit or the longer you're doing nothing, the harder it is then to do something.

而且非常困難，所有的證據和研究也顯示，你領任何福利的時間越長，或者你什麼都不做的時間越長，之後就越難去做些什麼。

And there's particularly been a very, very steep increase in the number of young people who are on long term sick, citing mental health as one of the problems.

特別是長期病患的年輕人數量急劇增加，其中一個問題是心理健康。

And there are all sorts of extraordinary figures out there, but one of the figures we put to Pacman this morning was a 76% increase in the numbers of young people who are citing mental health as a reason for them being on the long term sick since 2019.

而且有很多驚人的數據，但我們今天早上問 Pacman 的其中一個數據是，自 2019 年以來，將心理健康列為長期病患原因的年輕人數量增加了 76%。

We will get the employers to sign up to offer the training.

There's no reason why they shouldn't, because it's backed by government money and government investment.

他們沒有理由不這麼做，因為這有政府的資金和投資支持。

And ultimately on the subsidised job, the government will actually pay for 25 hours work a week at minimum wage level.

最終，在補助的職位上，政府實際上會支付每週最低工資標準下的 25 小時工資。

We understand that taking people on is a risk and that's why we think the government should step up and help employers do that.

我們理解僱用新人是有風險的，這也是為什麼我們認為政府應該挺身而出，幫助僱主這麼做。

And will young people lose their benefits if they say no to opportunities that are offered to them like this without a good reason?

如果年輕人無故拒絕像這樣的機會，他們會失去福利嗎？

This is an offer on one hand, but it's an expectation on the other.

這一方面是個機會，另一方面也是一種期望。

Because the future we don't want for young people is to be sitting at home on benefits when there are other options out there, be that training, work experience or the subsidised job.

因為我們不希望年輕人的未來是坐在家裡領福利，而有其他選擇，像是培訓、工作經驗或補助職位。

Well, look, I understand someone can have a family emergency where they can't make an appointment and so on, but if someone simply refuses to engage in it, then the conditionality, which is part of the benefit system, will apply.

嗯，你看，我理解有些人可能有家庭緊急狀況，無法準時赴約等等，但如果有人根本不想參與，那麼福利系統中的條件限制就會適用。

The offer, though, only kicks in after somebody's been on benefit for 18 months.

不過，這項補助是在一個人領取福利金滿18個月後才會生效。

So, given what you said, that this is a moral mission, that any day somebody sitting at home doing nothing can have a sort of scarring effect, why on Earth wait 18 months?

所以，根據您所說的，這是一項道德使命，任何一天待在家裡無所事事的人都可能產生一種創傷效應，為什麼要等18個月呢？

Well, that's the backstop of the subsidized job.

But people will be offered the training and other parts of the offer long before they've been out of work for 18 months.

但人們會在失業滿18個月之前很久就獲得培訓和其他補助內容。

The minimum wage for 16 to 17 year olds is £7.55, rises to £8 per hour in April 2026.

16到17歲的最低時薪是7.55英鎊，2026年4月將調升至每小時8英鎊。

There was a big article in the FT this weekend saying a lot of people under 25 feel that they're never going to have a stake, they're never going to have a house, they're never going to.

這週末《金融時報》有一篇大文章，說很多25歲以下的年輕人覺得他們永遠不會有歸屬感，永遠不會有房子，永遠不會。

Working hard will not give them a deposit to buy a house in the United Kingdom.

努力工作也無法讓他們在英國買房存到頭期款。

So there's also a real feeling that they're excluded, the older people have eaten all the pies and that there's a sort of cultural thing which is being tapped into, I think, by some of the parties of the left, that one of the problems is not that I'm out of work.

所以也有種真實的感覺，他們被排除在外，老年人已經把所有好處都佔光了，而且我認為左翼政黨正在利用一種文化觀念，其中一個問題不是我失業了。

The problem is all of you nabbed everything.

問題是你們所有人都把東西搶光了。

你們已經把所有好處都佔光了。

I mean, I think that is, from a political point of view, one of the really interesting things here.

我覺得，從政治的角度來看，這真的是一個很有趣的點。

And I just wonder if this, as a political narrative to St Pompous, is something that's really going to become a big deal in the next six, 12, 18 months.

我只是在想，這作為一個政治敘事，會不會在接下來的六個月、十二個月、十八個月內變成一個大問題。

If you look at polling of the under 40s, under 30s, and I'm going to make a generalization so we can talk about it.

如果你看一下四十歲以下、三十歲以下的民調，我這樣講是為了方便討論。

The mainstream parties are not doing it for them and the Greens have been surging in certain groups.

主流政黨沒有為他們做什麼，而綠黨在某些群體中勢頭正猛。

Reform are also doing very well with some groups, particularly young men without degrees.

Reform 黨在某些群體中表現也很好，特別是沒有學位的年輕男性。

And I think we're seeing now in the polling the generation gap playing out and Talking to Labour MPs about it in the last few days, there are definitely some Labour MPs who feel that the top brass in the party has not seen this coming towards them in the way that it might.

我覺得我們現在在民調中看到世代差異正在發酵，這幾天跟工黨的國會議員聊過，有些工黨議員確實覺得黨內高層沒有預見到這個情況可能會發生。

And who gets the vote at the next general election in the UK?

那下次英國大選的票會投給誰呢？

Oh, well, yeah, I mean, 16 year olds, theoretically.

喔，嗯，對啊，我是說，理論上是十六歲的年輕人。

Obviously, we say hello to Scottish voters who have voted at 16, but that was just in Scottish elections we do, and that would be a very big change.

當然，我們要跟十六歲就投票的蘇格蘭選民打聲招呼，但那僅限於蘇格蘭的選舉，這將會是個很大的改變。

But I think it's also, it's not just voters who are teenagers who are going to be voting for the first time.

但我覺得這不只是青少年選民第一次投票而已。

This is about people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, even.

這是關於二十幾歲、三十幾歲、四十幾歲的人。

A government minister said something very rude about life in the uk.

一位政府部長對英國的生活說了非常無禮的話。

Am I allowed to say, we'll get the BLEEP machine out again?

我可以說，我們要再次拿出那個「嗶」機器嗎？

Life in the UK, UK being shit if you were under 50.

英國的生活，如果你不到五十歲，英國就是個「嗶」。

So I think from a political point of view, this is a big opportunity for politicians who can go, ah, yes, there's more than one generation here who doesn't feel that they're being spoken for, but a big political danger for political parties who are not paying attention to the way that different generations feel they're getting anything or nothing or something out of the system.

所以從政治角度來看，這對那些能說「啊，這裡不只一代人覺得自己沒有被代表到」的政治人物來說是個大好機會，但對那些沒有注意到不同世代覺得他們從體系中得到什麼或一無所獲的政黨來說，則是個大政治危機。

Joe, does this mean that also Labour's got its eye on voters who think they can't attack the welfare bill?

Joe，這是否也意味著工黨也看上了那些認為他們不能攻擊福利法案的選民？

When Pat McFadden tells Laura we will have a sanction, are they talking to voters who think welfare checks getting bigger because of the budget?

當 Pat McFadden 告訴 Laura 我們會有制裁時，他們是在跟那些認為福利檢查因為預算而增加的選民說話嗎？

And I think one thing the Conservatives managed to land quite well around the budget was this narrative, which of course number 10 would deny that people are being taxed more to increase the benefits bill.

而且我認為保守黨在預算案中成功傳達了一個說法，當然唐寧街十號會否認，那就是人們被課徵更多稅金來增加福利支出。

Pat McFadden saying today, Do I believe a million young people?

Pat McFadden 今天說，我會相信有一百萬年輕人嗎？

There are a million young people who really can't work?

有一百萬年輕人真的不能工作嗎？

I think trying to make the point that we do need to reform this system, the graphs going up is not right.

我認為試圖表達我們需要改革這個體系，圖表上升是錯的。

He did say to Laura that he wasn't ruling out the possibility of further reform even after that botched reform to disability benefits in July.

他確實告訴 Laura，即使在七月那次搞砸的殘疾福利改革之後，他也不排除進一步改革的可能性。

And there have been Conservatives who've tried to paint in recent weeks the Labour Party as the Welfare Party, being on the side of people who are not in work.

最近幾週，有些保守黨試圖將工黨描繪成「福利黨」，站在那些不工作的人這邊。

So I suppose this intervention today is partly yes, about trying to say to younger people, younger voters, we are doing stuff for you.

所以我想今天的介入，部分原因就是試圖告訴年輕人、年輕選民，我們正在為你們做一些事。

And what the government are trying to do on house building, I suppose as part of that as well.

我想政府在房屋建設方面所做的努力，也算是其中的一部分。
