She is quoting an MP - I believe the Tories‘ Deputy Whip. Not translating it makes it easier to use those words on TV, I guess.

Actually, there were several PMs serving non-consecutive times; like Pit the Younger or the 2nd Viscount Melbourne.

Churchill is the most widely know British PM and he had non-consecutive terms.

Expectations sky high these days
