What's new with Gordon Brown?

Matt Withers, the Welsh weekly's poiltical correspondent, considers Gordon Brown who, having been Chancellor of the Exchequer throughout Blair's premiership, is now replacing him as head of the Labour Party, and soon, probably, as Prime Minister of the UK. "Brown's problem is that he can't claim to be new. He can't offer himself as a fresh face and a break with the past 10 years because, not only has he had an effective veto over every domestic policy Blair has pursued, he's also written the cheques for the foreign policy follies, whether he agreed with them or not. ... In many ways, Brown is the equivalent of a TV advert for soap powder boasting how new and improved it is, which is basically a tacit admission that their product wasn't very good before. But let's be fair and give him a chance, eh? After all, Mr Brown has had the best part of the last 13 years to decide what he was going to do once Mr Blair had decided finally to move on. A lot of time for thinking of The Big Ideas."
