A Step-by-Step Guide To Theresa May's New Cabinet

On Wednesday the 13th of June, David Cameron officially handed in his resignation as prime minister. Around an hour later, former home secretary Theresa May walked into 10 Downing St.

It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve our country as prime minister. As we leave for the last time, my only wish is continued success for this great country that I love so very much. I want to thank everyone who has even so much support to me personally. I am delighted that for the second time in British history the new prime minister will be a woman – and once again, a Conservative.

We will make Britain a country that works not for a privileged few, but for every one of us. When we take the big calls, we’ll think not of the powerful, but you. When we pass new laws, we’ll listen not to the mighty, but to you. When it comes to taxes, we’ll prioritise not the wealthy, but you.

May's first task was to appoint a new cabinet and first in the firing line was former chancellor George Osborne. The two had previously clashed over immigration and the fact he campaigned for Remain in the EU referendum (and so did May) put him at odds with the direction the new government is to take.

There once was a man called George,

An austerity drive did he forge

But now I'm in power oh how he'll glower

When upon his career I gorge.

No chance mate.

In his place, May promoted former foreign secretary Philip Hammond to chancellor.

But let's face it, Osborne has gained so much experience on so many fields over the years, he won't struggle to find another job if he decides to turn his back on politics. He could be a...

Railway worker...

Christmas tree salesman...

Power Ranger...

Or Chancell... I mean shit shoveller.

Michael Gove's fate had not yet been decided but after the back-stabbing in the aftermath of the EU referendum it seems unlikely the former justice secretary and Boris Johnson could share a room together.

In what wouldn't be one of the most remarkable comebacks of the evening, former defence secretary Liam Fox was appointed the head of a new department for International Trade. The same Liam Fox who just four years ago was forced to resign in disgrace for choosing his friend and best man ,Adam Werritty, as an unofficial, undeclared adviser.

Other appointments included Amber Rudd as home secretary, David Davis as Brexit secretary and Michael Fallon stayed as defence secretary. But the biggest surprise was...

Boris Johnson will be foreign secretary.

Meanwhile in Labour land...

Oh Boris is fun, he’s great isn’t he, bouncing around, going to be the next prime minister and all of that, and they never actually...

That's right, just two weeks after dropping into what many assumed would be political obscurity after taking the country to Brexit and dropping out of the race to actually lead it, he was given one of the top jobs in the country.

German news magazine Der Spiegel offered this classic Gif of 'Her Majesty’s future top diplomat':

Indeed our own German edition had their own fun with the news:

Then we all went to bed and hoped the news would stop for just one day so we could keep up. But no, there would be more to come in the morning...

And now for the minister of justice

Who's act of betrayal was bloodless

A cruel crushing blow for poor old BoJo

This sweet cull of Gove will be loveless.

Gove out.

As if that wasn't exciting enough, rumours began to circulate that health secretary Jeremy Hunt was next for the chop.

There once was a man called Hunt... Oh this would be too easy. He can stay.

Yup, Hunt was safe and he couldn't help bragging about it.

There once was a woman called Nicky

Who's position became ever more sticky

But voices of teachers have finally reached us

And now she's on permanent sickie.

Yup Nicky Morgan was next and guess who was celebrating the most.

Now dear reader, we have a confession: sourcing gifs and thinking up terrible limericks is time consuming and we need our sleep to deal with whatever political cataclysm awaits tomorrow so for a more in-depth analysis of EVERYTHING that happened in the last 24 hours, check out the link box below...
