Theresa May has been defended by few members of her cabinet since the scale of her election disaster emerged today.

The Prime Minister has insisted she will not quit despite losing her majority and relying on the support of DUP to prop up her government.

Today a number of backbenchers demanded Mrs May and her closest advisers resign in the aftermath.

But her frontbench team has been largely silent about their future with some including Boris Johnson refusing to back her.

Here is what they have - or haven't said - since the results came in.

Philip Hammond - Chancellor of the Exchequer

Mr Hammond's relationship with Theresa May has been strained in recent weeks amid rumours that he was set to be replaced by Home Secretary Amber Rudd.

He has not yet today publicly declared his support for Mrs May.

Amber Rudd - Home Secretary

Ms Rudd was said to have been tipped for a promotion to chancellor if the Conservatives won a 'landslide' victory in the election after performing well in the TV debates.

She has not yet today declared her support publicly for Theresa May.

Boris Johnson - Foreign Secretary

The outspoken Foreign Secretary was asked if he believes Mrs May should be Prime Minister but would only say 'it's early days' after retaining his Uxbridge seat.

He also stayed silent when a reporter suggested that the Tory leader was 'fatally wounded' - and then appeared not to hear when another journalist asked him: 'Does your party need a new leader? Is it you?'.

Sir Michael Fallon - Defence Secretary

When the exit polls were released at 10pm showing mass Tory losses, Sir Michael said that they had 'been wrong in the past'.

He continued: 'This is a projection, it's not a result.'

But Sir Michael has said nothing since the election results confirmed the poll estimates.

Liz Truss - Justice Secretary

Theresa May had been urged to strip Liz Truss of her role as Lord Chancellor amid fears that her department the Ministry of Justice was 'not fit for purpose'.

Mrs May stood by her Minister - but Ms Truss has not yet today declared her support.

Justine Greening - Education Secretary

When Theresa May refused to appear on Woman's Hour she sent Greening in her place.

But she has not yet today declared her support publicly for the Prime Minister.

David Davis - Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union

Brexit Secretary David Davis is the only one to have made a clear declaration that Theresa May should stay, insisting he would fight 'tooth and nail' to keep her in post.

Mr Davis said: 'The simple truth is we have a Prime Minister, she is a very good leader, I'm a big supporter of hers.'

He had earlier suggested a hung parliament could have forced the Conservatives to backtrack on Brexit.

Speaking to Sky News at about 2am, he referenced the Conservative manifesto which pledged to leave the customs union and single market.

He said that British people would make 'their decision', adding: 'It said we want to leave the customs union and single market, but get access to them, and to have a deep and special relationship with Europe.'

Liam Fox - Secretary of State for International Trade

Following the exit poll Liam Fox said he 'wouldn't make any assumptions' on Mrs May's future.

When asked if Mrs May would be forced to resign, Dr Fox told BBC News: 'It's early in the evening and I think we have to wait and see.

'I've sat through these programmes before when we've been told that we'll be in a hung parliament or a Conservative minority government, and as the results come through we've seen the Conservatives outperforming some of the predictions.

Greg Clark - Business Secretary

After winning his seat in Tunbridge Wells Mr Clark said he was 'very honoured' and spoke passionately about road repairs - but he failed to declare his support for Theresa May.

He has not yet today declared her support publicly for Theresa May.

Jeremy Hunt - Health Secretary

Jeremy Hunt said that the Conservative election campaign had been 'honest about the real challenges ahead'.

He continued: 'We haven't ducked those issues and we didn't duck those issues in our manifesto and that obviously made for difficult conversations at various moments in the campaign.

'But I would rather part of a government that is elected on the basis of being truthful about the challenges we face in areas like social care.'

Damian Green - Secretary of State for Work and Pensions

After winning his Ashford seat, Damian Green said: 'I hope, and certainly the projection is, that we will still have a Conservative government led by Theresa May.

'I hope and expect that will be the final outcome, and we have these hugely important Brexit negotiations coming up over the next two years so it's very important that we approach those in a constructive and determined spirit to get the best result for Britain because that will determine our prosperity – not just in the next few years – but for decades to come.'

Chris Grayling - Transport Secretary

Although he didn't specifically reference Theresa May in his remarks, Chris Grayling said that the Conservatives had 'taken support from other parties'.

'It's polarised into much more of a two-way battle, though happily I have a reasonably comfortable margin over the top of them,' he said.

'We always said from the start we were taking nothing for granted, it would be a tough battle, that it could be a close result and we've been proved right.'

Sajid Javid - Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government

Theresa May has previously backed Sajid Javid in a row over business rates, so she will likely be looking to him for support.

But Mr Javid has only been an MP since 2010 meaning he does not have the same network of allies that many cabinet ministers do.

James Brokenshire - Secretary of State for Northern Ireland

Speaking after the exit poll was released, James brokenshire defended Mrs May's decision to call a snap election.

He said: 'I think it was right because ultimately she was presented with a situation in the House of Commons, also the House of Lords of people wanting to frustrate the whole Brexit process.'

Andrea Leadsom - Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

Andrea Leadsom went head-to-head with Theresa May when she challenged her for the Conservative leadership last year and lost.

She was appointed Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs weeks later by Mrs May.

Ms Leadsom has not yet today declared her support publicly for Theresa May.
