Simulating UK Politics in a Mobile Game | Manchester News

A new mobile game called No 10: Full Confidence is dominating charts, even beating Minecraft, letting you play as UK Prime Minister and juggle cabinet, media, and public opinion—or get booted in record time. Developer Benjamin Brewis crafted over 300 wild political scenarios, inspired by real Westminster chaos like MPs threatening each other with spiders or Boris Johnson’s fridge antics. One player lasted a year and nine months before the press turned on them, but others have survived over a century in-game. Brewis started it in 2025 amid political upheaval, and experts say today’s social-media-driven politics fuels this trend. Other simulators are popping up too, including Fantasy Parliament and one using real UK data—though no politicians have confirmed they’ve played yet, civil servants say it’s shockingly accurate… just way more dramatic.
