Following the last minute re-shuffle, Theresa May will meet her new cabinet on Tuesday morning.
The prime minister was forced to replace Brexit Secretary David Davis and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson after both stepped down on Monday.
David and Johnson quit following the Friday’s meeting of the Cabinet at Chequers, where many Tory Brexiteers believed May’s soft-Brexit plan was “Brexit in name only”.
In his resignation letter, Johnson said the Brexit “dream is dying, suffocated by needless self-doubt.”
Replacing Johnson is Jeremy Hunt, who said he plans to support May “four square so that we can get through an agreement with the European Union based on what was agreed by the Cabinet last week at Chequers.”
“This is a time when the world is looking at us as a country, wondering what type of country we are going to be in a post-Brexit world,” said Hunt.
“What I want to say to them is Britain is going to be a dependable ally, a country that stands up for the values that matter to the people of this country, and will be a strong confident voice in the world,” he added.
Replacing Hunt as the Health Secretary is Culture Secretary Matt Hancock. Hancock has been succeeded by Attorney General Jeremy Wright, who is replaced by Geoffrey Cox.
Amid the current turmoil, there are rumours of backbench critics getting close to the 48 signatures needed for a no-confidence vote that could result in a leadership election.
Michael Howard, a former Conservative leader, said on the BBC Today programme: “I do think it would be extremely foolish and extremely ill-advised for anyone to send in letters to mount a motion of no confidence in the prime minister and I am delighted that good sense seems to be breaking out.”
“Boris puts things in his own inimitable way… [but] I don’t believe the Brexit dream is dying and there is much water to run through many bridges before we can arrive at that rather gloomy conclusion.”
