Brown cabinet
The Gordon Brown Cabinet was the Government of the United Kingdom from June 27, 2007 to May 2010 .
This was followed by the Blair III cabinet under Tony Blair , who was Prime Minister from 1997 to 2007 .
It was replaced by the Cameron I cabinet after the British general election on May 6, 2010 .
On October 3, 2008, Brown made changes in the cabinet (see graphic below).
The government was shaped by the financial crisis from 2007 (which also had an impact on the real economy worldwide in 2009 ). To counteract these crises, many industrialized countries increased their new debt = their budget deficits .
The UK's long-standing trade deficit was $ 183.86 billion in 2007, 173.59 in 2008, 129.9 in 2009 and 155.83 in 2010.
Net new debt rose sharply: it was 2.69% in 2007, 4.93% in 2008, 10.38% in 2009 and 9.85% in 2010.
