James Gordon Brown (born 20 February 1951) is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. He took office on 27 June 2007, three days after becoming leader of the Labour Party. Prior to this he served as the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Tony Blair's government from 1997 to 2007, becoming the United Kingdom's longest serving Chancellor since Nicholas Vansittart in the early 19th century. He has a PhD in history from the University of Edinburgh, and, as Prime Minister, he also holds the positions of First Lord of the Treasury and the Minister for the Civil Service. He has been a Member of Parliament since 1983; firstly for Dunfermline East and now for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath.

Brown as Prime Minister
Brown ceased to be Chancellor and, upon the approval of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on 27 June 2007. Like all modern Prime Ministers, Brown concurrently serves as the First Lord of the Treasury and the Minister for the Civil Service, is a member of the Cabinet of the United Kingdom and, hence, also a Privy Counsellor. He is also Leader of the Labour Party and Member of Parliament for the constituency of Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath. He is the sixth of the twelve post-war Prime Ministers to be appointed to the role without having won a general election.

Policies

Brown has proposed moving some traditional prime ministerial powers conferred by royal prerogative to the realm of Parliament, such as the power to declare war and approve appointments to senior positions. Brown wants Parliament to gain the right to ratify treaties and have more oversight into the intelligence services. He has also proposed moving some powers from Parliament to citizens, including the right to form "citizen's juries", easily petition Parliament for new laws, and rally outside Westminster. He has asserted that the attorney general should not have the right to decide whether to prosecute in individual cases, such as in the loans for peerages scandal.
During his Labour leadership campaign, Brown proposed some policy initiatives, suggesting that a Brown-led government would introduce the following:

  • End to corruption Following the cash for honours scandal, Brown emphasised cracking down on corruption. This has led to a belief that Brown will introduce a new ministerial code which sets out clear standards of behaviour for ministers.
  • Constitutional reform Brown has not stated whether he proposes a U.S.-style written constitution – something the UK has never had – or a looser bill of rights. He said in a speech when announcing his bid that he wants a “better constitution” that is “clear about the rights and responsibilities of being a citizen in Britain today”. He plans to set up an all-party convention to look at new powers for Parliament . This convention may also look at rebalancing powers between Whitehall and local government. Brown has said he will give Parliament the final say on whether British troops are sent into action in future.
  • Housing House planning restrictions are likely to be relaxed. Brown said he wants to release more land and ease access to ownership with shared equity schemes. He backed a proposal to build five new eco-towns, each housing between 10,000 and 20,000 homeowners — up to 100,000 new homes in total.
  • Health Brown intends to have doctors' surgeries open at the weekends, and GPs on call in the evenings. Doctors were given the right of opting out of out-of-hours care two years ago, under a controversial pay deal, signed by then-Health Secretary John Reid, which awarded them a 22% pay rise in 2006. Brown stated that the NHS was his "top priority", yet he had just cut the capital budget of the English NHS from £6.2bn to £4.2bn.

Foreign policy

Brown remains committed to the Iraq War, but said in a speech in June 2007 that he would "learn the lessons" from the mistakes made in Iraq.
In a speech given to the Labour Friends of Israel in April 2007, Brown stated:
"Many of you know my interest in Israel and in the Jewish community has been long-standing... My father was the chairman of the Church of Scotland's Israel Committee. Not only as I've described to some of you before did he make visits on almost two occasions a year for 20 years to Israel – but because of that, although Fife, where I grew up, was a long way from Israel with no TV pictures to link us together – I had a very clear view from household slides and projectors about the history of Israel, about the trials and tribulations of the Jewish people, about the enormous suffering and loss during the Holocaust, as well as the extraordinary struggle that he described to me of people to create this magnificent homeland."

Diplomatic relationship with the U.S.

There has been widespread speculation on the nature of the UK's relationship with the United States under Brown's government. A Washington, D.C. speech by Brown's close aide Douglas Alexander was widely reported as both a policy shift and a message to the U.S.: "In the 21st century, strength should be measured on what we can build together ... we need to demonstrate by our deeds, words and our actions that we are internationalist, not isolationist, multilateralist, not unilateralist, active and not passive, and driven by core values, consistently applied, not special interests."
However Downing Street's spokesman strongly denied the suggestion that Alexander was trying to distance Britain from U.S. foreign policy and show that Britain would not necessarily, in Tony Blair's words, stand "shoulder to shoulder" with George W. Bush over future military interventions: "I thought the interpretation that was put on Douglas Alexander's words was quite extraordinary. To interpret this as saying anything at all about our relationship with the U.S. is nonsense."

Brown personally clarified his position; "We will not allow people to separate us from the United States of America in dealing with the common challenges that we face around the world. I think people have got to remember that the relationship between Britain and America and between a British prime minister and an American president is built on the things that we share, the same enduring values about the importance of liberty, opportunity, the dignity of the individual. I will continue to work, as Tony Blair did, very closely with the American administration."

James Gordon Brown, né le 20 février 1951 à Giffnock, en Écosse, est l'actuel Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni.
De 1983 à 2005, il a été député au Parlement britannique de la circonscription de Dunfermline East à Fife et de la circonscription de Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath depuis 2005. Il est Chancelier de l'Échiquier depuis le 2 mai 1997. Depuis le 24 juin 2007, il est le leader du Parti travailliste et est devenu Premier ministre le 27 juin 2007.
Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni
Après que Tony Blair eut, comme annoncé, quitté le pouvoir le 27 juin 2007, Gordon Brown l'a remplacé et est devenu Premier ministre [] Il a été chargé par la Reine de former un nouveau gouvernement et il mènera sans doute le parti travailliste aux élections qui devront avoir lieu au plus tard en juin 2010.
Peu charismatique et éloquent, son état de borgne le gêne pour lire les notes, il éprouve des difficultés lors des questions au premier ministre à la chambre des communes.[]
Comme tous les précédents Premiers ministres, Brown est également First Lord of the Treasury, ministre du Civil Service, membre du Cabinet et du Conseil privé.
Gordon Brown a rétabli une tradition abandonnée sous le mandat de Tony Blair : le chat du 10 Downing Street, avec l'arrivée de Sybil.
Premier Mandat (2007 - )
Deux jours après sa nomination en tant que Premier Ministre, Gordon Brown fait face à sa première crise majeure avec la découverte de deux voitures piégées en plein cœur de Londres le 29 juin 2007 et une tentative d'attentat à l'aéroport de Glasgow le 30 juin 2007 []. Suite à cette nouvelle menace terroriste, Brown a réuni la cellule de crise du gouvernement britannique, le Cabinet Office Briefing Room, connu sous le nom de COBRA.
