The Prime Minister has appointed her Cabinet, in what Sky's Faisal Islam has called "a shuffle, more than a reshuffle".
The biggest surprise is the return of Michael Gove, with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson announcing his support for Theresa May and tweeting that it was a "GOVEment of all the talents".
So who's in? Here is the full list of those cherry-picked by Mrs May as she tries to secure her position...
CHIEF WHIP
Gavin Williamson will remain in the position he has held for one year. He is currently being kept busy in Belfast conducting negotiations with the Democratic Unionists on supporting a minority Conservative Government.
FIRST SECRETARY OF STATE AND MINISTER FOR THE CABINET OFFICE
Welshman Damian Green, former Work and Pensions Secretary, was Theresa May's contemporary at Oxford where he was president of the Oxford Union and, says Sky News' Beth Rigby, is her biggest friend in the Government. He has been moved sideways, rather than promoted, to replace Ben Gummer, the ex-Ipswich MP who lost his seat despite writing the Conservative manifesto.
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR HEALTH
Jeremy Hunt has kept hold of the role he's held for the last five years. The Oxford graduate, who was elected as an MP in 2005, has been unpopular with many National Health workers, with his decision to impose new contracts on junior doctors attracting particularly heavy criticism. Following the first reshuffle last July, Mr Hunt tweeted: "'Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated ...' Thrilled to be back in the best job in Government."
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD AND RURAL AFFAIRS
Michael Gove has been welcomed back into the Cabinet after a year out in the wilderness, replacing Andrea Leadsom as Environment secretary. He put his hat in the ring during the 2016 Tory leadership campaign, but was eliminated in the second ballot. The former justice secretary was sacked shortly after Mrs May took over as leader of the party. Mr Gove said he was "delighted and flattered" by his new position, which he said was a "surprise" he "genuinely didn't expect".
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR EDUCATION and MINISTER FOR WOMEN AND EQUALITIES
Justine Greening also stays in her job despite, Beth Rigby says, her personal misgivings about the PM's enthusiasm for grammar schools. As a comprehensive school-educated daughter of a Rotherham steel worker, she was part of the changes that Mrs May rung to distance her Cabinet from that of David Cameron's - but she was largely kept away from the election campaign even though education was a major battleground.
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR TRANSPORT
Chris Grayling, who has been an MP for the past 16 years, will remain in the transport role he has held since July 2016. A former leader of the House of Commons, he has held several Cabinet and shadow cabinet positions. The Cambridge graduate was an ardent supporter of the Leave campaign, and no doubt helped his chances of favourable treatment from Mrs May by backing her bid for leadership last year.
