Worth recalling that in the first eighteen years of my life the #uk had no fewer than six #primeministers so a degree of churn is not unprecedented. Two of the six - #anthonyeden and #alecdouglashome - served for less time than #keirstarmer has done.

#stalin is reported to have suggested that the #uk acquire and retain a port in northern #france - #calais ? - in discussions about post war arrangements in the early 1940s. Fortunately #anthonyeden showed no interest in this . Although eden behaved badly later on - Suez - he was surely correct not to take the bait then .
