Ed Miliband is Labour's new leader.

Ed Miliband was appointed as the leader of Great Britain's and Northern Ireland's Labour party today after beating his brother by 1% in the voting.

It is now his job to lead Labour as the main opposition party to the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government.

This happened 2 weeks ago, by the way.

American here, is he going to continue "new labour" policies?

From what I can gather he seems to be set on making a break with the New Labour policies introduced by Blair, no doubt hoping to reach out to the party's traditional support base who had been feeling increasingly alienated under previous Labour governments. Among other things his first major speech to the party following his election as leader was highly critical of the reasons for Britain's backing of the 2003 Iraq invasion, which has been one of the defining events of Labour's years in power over the last 13 years or so.
