UK PM May is finalising her cabinet 10 June
Yesterday Adam reported that fin min Hammond is to keep his job despite much conjecture to the contrary and now May has unveiled most of her cabinet
- David Davis stays as Brexit secretary
- Boris Johnson keeps his job as Foreign Secretary
- Michael Fallon remains Defence Secretary
- Amber Rudd, who just about hung onto her seat after 2 recounts, stays on as Home Secretary (Interior Minister)
Despite calls for change it appears May is ado pting a policy of "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer still" as her head remains on the block.
Meanwhile what do we know about her new best pals the Democratic Unionist Party?
As its my day off, in theory, I'll leave it to the BBC to tell you:
"The DUP and its 10 MPs are in a very strong position. It's all their Christmases rolled into one and they will make sure they leverage as much as they can from their advantage.
Money for Northern Ireland will undoubtedly be part of their demands, and Mrs May will expect that. But trickier will be any demands they have about the implementation of Brexit in Northern Ireland - in particular the DUP's determination to maintain a soft border with the south.
Another potential problem is the planned restart of negotiations for power-sharing in the province.
Typically the British government tries to act as an honest broker between Republicans and Unionists. But if Mrs May is doing a deal with the DUP, that could make it harder to reach an agreement with Sinn Fein."
More from the Beeb here including the discussions that May is having with the Scottish Conservative Party leader over LGBTI rights which could yet prove crucial in these fragile times.
Here's the state of the parties in the new hung parliament:
