What is a Striver

[FluffBut]

Rachel Reeves claimed her Budget was for strivers as she tried to draw a line under a furious row over Labour’s definition of working people

What’s a striver? Are you a striver?

No idea if I'm a "striver". I did roll my eyes at Bridget Phillipson saying that a working person is someone who's main source of income comes from "going out to work". Presumably that includes everyone from cleaners to hedge fund managers. I'm not sure they've thought this through.

Well, one of the definitions in Merriam-Webster is 'to struggle in opposition' ....

So it'll be all of us, struggling.

Assuming she didn't actually mean tax the hell out of people who WFH

I assume not. I WFH three days/week - maybe I need to increase my office days in case the government think I'm slacking and not a striver.

Or here's another definition

God, I dread to think. Roll on Wednesday and then we'll know who's getting shafted. Joy.

We’ll add it to the growing list of other policies and actions not thought through.

Starmer ought to remember that political parties are voted out, not in.
