 Observers, such as [[Martin Bright]] of the [[New Statesman]] saw this as part of the process of transition to a [[Gordon Brown|Brown]] administration:
-:Last month's reshuffle at the highest levels of the Civil Service gave an indication of the shape of a Brownite diplomatic corps. Sir Nigel Sheinwald, [[Tony Blair]]'s key foreign policy adviser, will move to Washington in the autumn, where Brown prides himself on personal relationships with individuals such as [[Condoleezza Rice]] and [[Hillary Clinton]]. At the same time, [[Kim Darroch]], the PM's adviser on Europe, will move to Brussels. Both men will be consulted, but they will consider their wings seriously clipped.

 :Already, [[Jon Cunliffe]], Brown's second permanent secretary at the Treasury, is being tipped to replace Sheinwald, with [[Ivan Rogers]], a former director of European policy at the Treasury now working for [[Citigroup]], lined up to replace Darroch. The appointment of economists rather than career diplomats to these key advisory posts would mark a sea change in the diplomatic culture of Downing Street.{{ref|Bright}}
