Changing to the same old...

Blair out, Brown in

After a decade of Blair's New Labour experiment, it's all change in British politics as we have a new Prime Minister, promising to be very different and very, err, New Labour. The man who allegedly stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Blair during numerous scandals ('spare us a million, Bernie?') promises no more spin and a more honest approach. While I welcome the pledges, I can't help feeling we've been here before. Let's just hope he remembers our troops overseas before he deconstructs what his party has spent the last 10 years spinning, and lets hope the British Press feel they can hold our leaders to account once again after 10 years of simpering complicity.
