July Budget 2015: Can you tell the difference between George Osborne and Gordon Brown?

It's Budget day again today- and if it all seems a bit repetitive to you, spare a thought for George Osborne, who will be enduring his twelfth. Although, admittedly, it'll be the first time he hasn't had another party to please.
