Most of the actual operations of the UK government are done by civil service, which are career professionals and don’t change with the government.

So while the Ministers at the top change the organization continues running as usual.

The Minister is there not to run the ministry, that’s a job for a career bureaucrat. Ministr is here to provide direction and define policy.
