Absolutely, any honeymoon period won’t be a fraction of Blair’s. And I’m fully expecting many unpopular decisions and policies to be based on the premise of “we’re in this position because of the last lot” and whereas I’m sure that will be genuine some of the time, I’m certain it will be used to cover a multitude of sins as we go along.
