Congratulations!
You've just become the Chancellor of the Exchequer - one of the most powerful people in Britain.
The Budget is fast approaching. And as you turn each page, you'll face dilemmas and tough choices of every kind, including bailing out big business, negotiating with trade unions and managing the media fallout from your Budget choices.
Will you overspend and trigger an economic crisis, or tighten the purse strings too much and crater your party's approval ratings? Or will you play your cards just right enough to lead your party to victory at the next general election? It's all up to you.
Are you ready?
