Probably the latter, although Brown is pitching his new cabinet as a fresh start. Some say there was friction between him and Tony over a lot of things, other say they were complicit. It's hard to tell, but with Labours recent record of lies and pulling the wool over everyone's eyes I wouldn't trust anyone in that cabinet. I seem to remember exactly the same kind of rhetoric from Tony Blair ten years ago.
