After leading Labour to a landslide victory in the 1997 general election, Blair became Prime Minister. His first cabinet was composed entirely of his own choosing. However, he inherited the cabinet formed by Gordon Brown after the 2007 election.Blair's first cabinet was notable for its diverse membership and its focus on modernization. He appointed a significant number of women and ethnic minorities to ministerial positions. The cabinet also included several high-profile figures from outside the Labour Party, such as the former Conservative MP David Blunkett.
In contrast, Brown's cabinet was seen as more cautious and traditional. It was composed largely of Labour loyalists and included fewer women and ethnic minorities than Blair's first cabinet.
