If you want to make  changes 
and don't have money to burn
you may have to compromise;
be prepared to make a U turn.

You are Goliath defied by David
on cost and benefits of net zero.
Will you reduce the fiscal burden
and become the taxpayers' hero?

You could switch your priorities,
wave a magic wand and, presto,
although the course is reversed,
you have stuck to the manifesto.

Aye Luigi, switching just a few priorities could make a lot of difference for a lot of people in a lot of countries. 

In your second line I think you might need a letter 'm' at the beginning of your word 'oney'. Or maybe an 'h'.

Thanks for pointing out the typo, Turlough. I thought I had enabled SCAYt but it didn't work. angry

Well Done, Luigi :0) Am remembering that the new PM started out under Tony Blair who was a master of spin - I hope like Rumpelstiltskin span straw into gold, he will spin all the country's troubles into opportunities for improving
