The British government is experiencing a period of internal instability after Defence Secretary John Healey and Minister Al Cairns resigned due to disagreements over national security funding.

由於在國家安全撥款方面存在分歧，國防大臣 John Healey 與部長 Al Cairns 辭職，使英國政府陷入內部不穩定時期。

The current crisis was caused by a conflict between the Prime Minister's international promises and the Treasury's budget limits. After a summit in The Hague, Sir Keir Starmer promised to increase defence spending to 3.5% of GDP by 2035. However, this target was higher than the projections in the Strategic Defence Review. Consequently, a breakdown in communication occurred between the Ministry of Defence and Downing Street. Mr. Healey asserted that the proposed £10 billion allocation was not enough, noting a gap of about £18 billion compared to what military leaders required.

目前的危機是由於首相的國際承諾與財政部的預算限制之間的衝突所引起。在海牙峰會後，Sir Keir Starmer 承諾在 2035 年前將國防開支增加到 GDP 的 3.5%。然而，這個目標高於《戰略國防回顧》中的預測。因此，國防部與唐寧街之間發生了溝通崩潰。Healey 先生主張建議撥款的 100 億英鎊並不充足，並指出與軍方領導層的需求相比，仍有約 180 億英鎊的差距。

Furthermore, there is a clear division within the government leadership. Mr. Healey suggested using international funding methods, such as the Canada-led Defence, Security and Resilience Bank (DSRB), to solve the problem. However, Chancellor Rachel Reeves and the Treasury rejected this idea because they did not want to increase government borrowing. This situation was made worse by the Prime Minister's attempt to find money through budget cuts in other departments, which some critics argue shows a lack of strong central leadership.

此外，政府領導層內部存在明顯分歧。Healey 先生建議利用國際融資方式，例如由加拿大領導的國防、安全與韌性銀行 (DSRB) 來解決問題。然而，財政大臣 Rachel Reeves 與財政部拒絕了這個想法，因為他們不希望增加政府借貸。首相試圖透過削減其他部門預算來籌措資金，這使情況進一步惡化，部分批評者認為這顯示出缺乏強有力的中央領導。

As a result, the administration has become more vulnerable, and internal rivals like Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting have described the situation as a sign of government indecision. The timing of these resignations is particularly bad, as it happens during a G7 summit in France and a visit from U.S. President Donald Trump. Because the U.S. administration has emphasized the need for stronger British military capabilities, these events have damaged the Prime Minister's reputation for managing national security.

結果，政府變得更加脆弱，內部對手如 Andy Burnham 和 Wes Streeting 將此情況形容為政府猶豫不決的跡象。這些辭職發生的時間點尤其糟糕，正值法國 G7 峰會以及美國總統川普訪問期間。由於美國政府強調英國需要更強的軍事能力，這些事件損害了首相在管理國家安全方面的聲譽。

Sir Keir Starmer intends to stay in power despite the internal pressure and the appointment of Dan Jarvis as the new Defence Secretary.

儘管面臨內部壓力且已任命 Dan Jarvis 為新任國防大臣，Sir Keir Starmer 仍打算留任。
