Now that Mr. Blair has been shown the door, it will interesting to see how the new prime minister deals with his American counterpart.

Being a Yank, I can’t say I know much about Mr. Brown, but here is a portion of an article from The Guardian. I think it’s safe to say that Bush’s lap poodle has changed his spots.


How Brown would mark his entrance

The Guardian

Gordon Brown's closest advisers have been extremely secretive about what he is planning for his first 100 days in office.

Iraq and foreign policy issues _The issue on which Mr. Brown could make an immediate impact and distance himself from the Blair premiership is Iraq, the most divisive issue for both the party and public. Both the Foreign Office and the Ministry of Defense admit privately that British forces could pull out of Iraq in the middle of next year, about the time Mr. Brown could take over.

While no British prime minister since 1945 has done anything other than maintain the alliance with Washington, most have not found it to be necessary to maintain as close a relationship as Mr. Blair has done with Mr. Bush. Mr. Brown could opt for a looser relationship with a president who by the middle of next year would only have a year-and-a-half in office remaining.

There will be no change I suspect. Blair had a ton of time to groom an opposition which worked for him, which is how these people work. Gordon Brown I have heard is a mole for Blair. Sad, but probably true.
