This is a list of resignations from the second government formed by Prime Minister Theresa May. Since forming a Conservative minority government on 11 June 2017, May has faced a significant number of Treasury bench resignations. These have included 11 departures from the Cabinet, including two from the Great Offices of State. She has currently had 49 resignations with 32 of these relating to Brexit.

Second May ministry Government of the United Kingdom

The second May ministry was formed on 11 June 2017 after Queen Elizabeth II invited Theresa May to form a government following the June 2017 snap general election. The election resulted in a hung parliament with the Conservative Party losing its majority in the House of Commons. On 9 June 2017, May announced her intention to form a Conservative minority government, reliant on the confidence and supply of the Democratic Unionist Party; a finalised agreement between the two parties was signed and published on 26 June 2017.

Theresa May Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Theresa Mary May is a British politician serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party since 2016. She served as Home Secretary from 2010 to 2016. May was first elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Maidenhead in 1997. Ideologically, she identifies herself as a one-nation conservative.

A minority government, or minority cabinet or minority parliament, is a cabinet formed in a parliamentary system when a political party or coalition of parties does not have a majority of overall seats in the parliament. It is sworn into office, with or without the formal support of other parties, to enable a government to be formed. Under such a government, legislation can only be passed with the support of enough other members of the legislature to provide a majority, encouraging multi-partisanship. In bicameral parliaments, the term relates to the situation in chamber whose confidence is considered most crucial to the continuance in office of the government.

Context and implications for government

The pace and amount of resignations has been described as 'unprecedented' by the Institute for Government, [1] with resignations impacting the functioning of the government. For example, in March 2019 fifteen posts had been left vacant due to resignations and a lack of MPs willing to fill positions. Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Amber Rudd had to take on Sarah Newton's responsibilities as Minister of State for Disabled People as the position was left unfilled two weeks after her resignation. [2] In less than three years, Theresa May saw more resignations than Thatcher or Blair. [3] The resignations also come amid a break down of cabinet collective responsibility, with Chief Whip Julian Smith describing May's Cabinet as exhibiting the 'worst cabinet ill-discipline in history', [4] as well as various MPs resigning the whip including three to join The Independent Group of MPs.

The next Conservative Party leadership election has not yet been launched, but the current party leader and Prime Minister Theresa May has indicated she would most likely not seek to lead the party into another general election in 2022. These comments were in reaction to a no confidence vote by the party's MPs in her leadership that was triggered on 11 December 2018, following the receipt of letters from forty-eight Conservative MPs calling for one. A leadership election would have been called had May lost the vote, but she won with 200 against and 117 for. In March 2019, she then said that she will stand down sooner if her Brexit deal is passed.

2018 British cabinet reshuffle

Theresa May carried out the first "refresh" of her minority government in January 2018. Following the resignation of Damian Green as First Secretary of State in December 2017, the reshuffle had been highly anticipated and briefed in the press. There were reports of "up to a quarter" of her cabinet ministers who might lose their positions, including Boris Johnson, who had been seen to cause a number of political gaffes during his term as Foreign Secretary. The reshuffle was seen as an opportunity for the Prime Minister to reassert her authority, greatly diminished following the result of the snap general election in the previous summer. Despite being described by 10 Downing Street as a chance to "refresh" the Cabinet, few changes were made to the ministerial line-up. On 9 January, newspaper headlines reflected the chaotic nature of May's reshuffle, with The Daily Telegraph describing it as, "The Night of the Blunt Stiletto", a reference to the 1962 reshuffle carried out by Harold Macmillan.
