The challengeOn 26 November, Rachel Reeves will deliver this year’s budget to parliament. As in all years, the chancellor has to strike a balance between:
Raising the money needed to fund the services that voters demand.
Keeping taxes at levels that are acceptable to voters.
Persuading the government’s creditors in the bond markets that it will continue to be able to pay its debts.
The gameIn our game you get to try your hand at designing a successful budget. Can you keep backbenchers happy without upsetting the bond markets? And can you do it all while keeping the books balanced?
