      I think there was a coup against Blair in 2007 as he had promised Gordon Brown he would stand down in his second term of office and then it looked like he was going to hang on until Labour loses the next General Election or during his fourth or fifth term of office if Labour had won the General Elections in 2010 and 2015. Without the coup and the Tories winning a General Election he might have been in office as long as Angela Merkel. That's 16 years in total.

      It's a bit of a myth, actually. There's a decent passage of time here. 11+ years for Thatcher, ~7 years for Major, ~10 years for Blair, ~2 years for Brown, ~6 years for Cameron. There's no doubt leading a country is a stressful job, but there's also plenty of normal aging. Thatcher entered office at 53 and left at 65. Major entered office at 47 and left at 54. Blair entered office at 43 and left at 54. Brown entered at 56 and left at 59. Cameron entered at 43 and left at 49. Yes, Thatcher, Major and Blair are all going to have aged significantly anyway.
