Philip Hammond, Boris Johnson and David Davis are all keeping their ministerial jobs despite the widely criticised election campaign.

Amber Rudd and Michael Fallon will also stay in their posts, it has been announced tonight.

It means Theresa May is pushing on with her top team despite a humiliating result at the polls today as she tried to gain a larger majority and came away with a hung Parliament.

A statement from 10 Downing Street said the following Cabinet posts have been confirmed:

Chancellor of the Exchequer – Rt Hon Philip Hammond MP

Secretary of State for the Home Department – Rt Hon Amber Rudd MP

Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs – Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP

Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union – Rt Hon David Davis MP

Secretary of State for Defence - Rt Hon Sir Michael Fallon MP

The re-appointments come despite criticism of Hammond's role as Chancellor, and Rudd coming within a hair's breadth of losing her seat in the General Election.

No more appointments will be announced tonight., so it is not yet clear whether any posts have been given to DUP party members.
