We have so much to be proud of in Britain. But one of the problems in our society is that we have generations of young people who don't have the opportunities they deserve.
在英国,我们有太多值得骄傲的地方。但我们社会的一个问题是,有几代年轻人都没得到他们应得的机会。
Britain today faces a future that is more dangerous and more divided. There's no doubt our democratic values are under threat.
今天的英国面临着一个更加危险、更加分裂的未来。毫无疑问的是,我们的民主价值观正受到威胁。
That is why we will introduce a bold new model of national service for 18 year olds to be spent either in a competitive full time military commission over 12 months, or with one weekend per month volunteering in roles within the community, like delivering prescriptions and food to infirm people, or in search and rescue.
Young people will gain valuable skills, make our country more secure, and build a stronger national culture. This ambition benefits our country and our young people alike.
Just look at Sweden, where 80% of young people completing national service say they'd recommend it to their friends. Uncertain times call for a clear plan and bold action to chart a course to a secure future.
Our plan will ensure new generations and our country meet the challenges of the uncertain world. Keir Starmer and Labour don't have a clear plan and won't take the bold action to navigate to a more secure future.
