if brown wants to make his mark from the word go, he should be brave enough to make sweeping changes from his first days in office. ordering the uk troops back from iraq and afghanistan in weeks, rather than months, or years, would be a good start. cancelling trident - the money saved here would fill the pension blackhole. there are a whole load of other 'socialist' policies that he could introduce that would endear him to the british people and ensure he was seen as his own man, and not a tony (god told me to do it!) blair 2.
