Summary
Being prime minister doesn't come with a job description - in our political system after a gruelling six-week assault course of an election campaign, a newly-elected PM is thrown straight into the job and expected to hit the ground running.
Over the years Matt has spoken to the people who've been there and done it - prime ministers and advisers including Tony Blair, David Cameron, Peter Mandelson, Angie Hunter, Katie Perrior, Gabby Bertin, Stewart Wood, Sir Alex Allan and Sir Gus O'Donnell. This is his guide to make sure you're ready to become prime minister.
