Theresa May has reshuffled her cabinet after David Davis resigned as her Brexit secretary and Boris Johnson followed him out the door resigning as Foreign Secretary.

The Tories are trapped in a "Brexit turmoil", with Mrs May forced to make big changes to her cabinet team.

Former health secretary Jeremy Hunt replaced Boris Johnson as he's promoted to foreign secretary. The move has led to senior Tory Eurosceptics to accuse Mrs May of being a "Remainer Government", as four main offices of state - PM, chancellor, home secretary and foreign secretary - are now all held by MPs who campaigned to remain in the EU referendum.

However, Hunt has said he's converted to Brexit. Mat Hancock replaces Hunt as health secretary, while Dominic Raab takes on the role as Brexit Secretary from David Davis.

Another Remainer takes on the role as culture secretary.

So who now holds a position in the Prime Minister’s top team?

Here’s your guide to who’s in and who's out in Theresa May’s cabinet after the reshuffle.

Philip Hammond - Chancellor

Hammond remained chancellor of the exchequer after the June General Election despite rumours that he’d be sacked.

He was formerly foreign secretary in David Cameron ’s cabinet from 2014 to 2016, and before that served as defence secretary and transport secretary.

He was a Remain supporter in the EU referendum . He’s seen as a voice for a softer Brexit than that of his Leave colleagues.

The controversial former Health Secretary survived last year’s reshuffle - despite presiding over the longest and most drawn-out industrial dispute in the history of the health service.

It was thought he could be axed in 2016 when Mrs May first became PM, but he survived and continued to run the Department of Health.

After Boris Johnson resigned as foreign secretary, Hunt was promoted to the position.

It brings an end to his long stint in health - a job he took under Cameron in the 2012 reshuffle. He was previously culture secretary.

It’s thought he resisted an attempt by May to move him to another role in January 2018 when she added the responsibility of social care to his portfolio.

Sajid Javid - Home Secretary

The first home secretary from an ethnic minority background Javid has held a few roles.

He landed the job as Communities and Local Government Secretary after Amber Rudd ’s resignation. He has also been Business Secretary.

He was also Culture Secretary and Financial Secretary to the Treasury under David Cameron.

He is the son of a bus driver from Rochdale, Lancashire, and became an investment banker before going into politics - he became an MP in 2010.

He stood on a "joint ticket" with Stephen Crabb in the 2016 leadership contest. Javid had hoped to be chancellor if Mr Crabb had become PM.

Dominic Raab - Brexit Secretary

Lawyer Mr Raab has long been waiting in the wings for a cabinet role. The Leave supporter is a former chief of staff to David Davis - who he now replaces as Brexit Secretary - and Dominic Grieve.

He’s worked on the Brexit legal details behind the scenes and apparently is ok with the idea of a “no deal” situation.

He has previously held the post of housing minister, one of the junior ministerial posts he’s had since becoming MP in 2010.

Mr Raab has previously said immigration drives up house prices and in June he called for the UK to have more “economic self-confidence" in talks with Brussels.

Gavin Williamson - Defence Secretary

One of Mrs May’s allies, Mr Williamson was the former chief whip. He was promoted to defence secretary in November 2017, which annoyed some Tories who felt he wasn’t experienced enough for the role.

He took over from Michael Fallon, who resigned after his past conduct was called into question.

Mr Williamson is MP for South Staffordshire and was elected in 2010. He also used to be an aide to David Cameron.

Matthew Hancock - Health and Social care secretary

David Gauke - Justice Secretary

Mr Gauke is the sixth justice secretary in six years as well as the first solicitor to take on the post. He was promoted in the January 2018 reshuffle.

The four people in the post before Mr Gauke were all non-legally qualified MPs, despite the justice secretary being the government’s chief law officer.

Mr Gauke has been the work and pensions secretary and chief secretary to the Treasury.

Damian Hinds - Education Secretary

Brexit supporter Liam Fox became the International Trade Secretary - a new department - when Theresa May became PM.

He has the job of trying to set up post-Brexit trade deals.

Mr Fox was Cameron’s defence secretary, before he resigned in 2011. It was alleged he had given a friend - and lobbyist - Adam Werrity access to his department and allowed him on his trips abroad.

Mr Fox, a former GP, did stand in the 2016 leadership race against May but was kicked out after the first ballot with just 16 MPs backing him.

He’s MP for North Somerset.

Greg Clark - Business Secretary

Mr Clark has been business secretary since July 2016. He formerly looked after communities and local government for a year. In January it was thought he’d be moved in the reshuffle to make way for Jeremy Hunt, but Hunt fought to stay in Health.

The former business consultant was a Remainer.

Mr Clark started as president of the Liberal Democrat student branch at Cambridge. He’s MP for Tunbridge Wells.

Michael Gove - Environment Secretary

Mr Gove was brought back in June 2017 as environment secretary.

He had been sacked as justice secretary in 2016 in the reshuffle.

Mr Gove had previously served as education secretary in Cameron’s cabinet and chief whip in the coalition.

Cameron and Gove were long-term friends until Mr Gove joined the Leave campaign in 2016.

Things got more complicated when - after initially backing Boris and Brexit - he withdrew his support for Boris as leader midway through the contest, and stood himself.

He was eliminated in the final round and came third.

Chris Grayling - Transport Secretary

Mr Grayling has been in the cabinet since 2012 - he was first Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, then Commons leader. He was made transport secretary in 2016.

Who has resigned from the Cabinet?

Boris Johnson served as Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs from 2016 to 2018 before he sensationally quit over Brexit policy.

Mr Johnson’s exit was a devastating blow less than 24 hours after Brexit Secretary David Davis quit in protest at Mrs May's "dangerous" plan for leaving the EU.

David Davis - formerly Brexit secretary

Mr Davis’ devastating resignation letter poured scorn on Theresa May's "progressive dilution" of her Brexit strategy.

The ex-SAS man warned he had turned into a "reluctant conscript".

He was swiftly followed out the door by a second Brexit minister, Steve Baker, a source confirmed.

He served as Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union from July 2016 to July 2018, and has served as Member of Parliament for Haltemprice and Howden since 1997.
