Brown is New Prime Minister

BBC - Brown is UK's new prime minister

Gordon Brown has become the UK's prime minister, succeeding Tony Blair.

Posing outside 10 Downing Street with his wife Sarah, the man who has been Mr Blair's chancellor since 1997 said: "Let the work of change begin."

He said his priorities were education, health and restoring trust in politics and promised to "try my utmost".

Conservative leader David Cameron congratulated Mr Brown on becoming prime minister, but demanded he hold an immediate general election.

He said: "Gordon Brown doesn't have the mandate, he wasn't elected as prime minister, and he should go to the country."
