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 ten departures from the Cabinet, including two from the Great Offices of State. She has currently had 41 resignations with 31 of these relating to Brexit.


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.
