Rachel Reeves says that her Budget will be

A Budget for strivers
for staying-alivers

No tenners or fivers
for dossers or skivers
duckers and divers
smokers or drivers

Fiscal advisers
won’t risk the revivers
They’ll nudge it or fudge it
but never begrudge it
for toilers, hard-boilers
salt of the soilers

For bees-in-the-hivers
the not-just-arrivers
the barely survivors

Who judges the thrivers?
A Budget for strivers
