Yet it feels like it is coming around with the same regularity as autumn or spring. With the same frequency as observations like: 'the first Christmas decorations have gone on sale already'; or the annual letter to the editor in The Times, in which a reader claims to have heard the first cuckoo. In my first 25 years of life, there were four Prime Ministers. That felt normal to me. Margaret Thatcher served as PM for eleven and a half years. Tony Blair served in that role for ten. In my first four years in the House of Commons, there have been no fewer than five Prime Ministers: Johnson, Truss, Sunak, Starmer and now Burnham. If Sir Keir Starmer had wanted to put together an agenda to upset the people of the Honiton & Sidmouth constituency, he would have probably sought to reduce provision for older people, and sought to whack up taxes on the people who work the land and produce our food. And so it was! Starmer has faced much criticism for U-turning, but I am glad that his Government saw sense and retreated on the winter fuel allowance and the family farm tax. Starmer did so in the face of opposition from me, from other MPs, from people here in Devon, and from civil society groups across the country. Steve Webb was the Liberal Democrat MP who introduced the Triple Lock in 2010. As Pensions Minister, he made the Triple Lock happen (when the Conservatives had only proposed a double lock in their 2010 manifesto). Steve was a trusted pensions minister for five years; he saw through a crucial plank of Coalition Government policy because of his longevity in that role. If it feels like the current set of ministers have been in their roles for less than a year, it is because they have. The Cabinet reshuffle last September seemed like it involved the Secretaries of State getting up out of their chairs and moving one place to the right. Regardless of our political differences, I wish Prime Minister Burnham well. I hope for all our sakes that he governs successfully for the remainder of his premiership, with an experienced team whom he does not see the need to rotate every summer.
