Boris Johnson this week saw more than 40 members of his government and party resign following months of criticism over his suitability to be leader.

On Thursday, the Prime Minister stepped down and announced a new Cabinet that will continue the job of government until a new leader of the Conservative Party is chosen.

Some of those who called for him to go returned to the fold, such as Will Quince, the education minister who resigned on Wednesday, only to be appointed the next day.

“I wish my successor well – it is the best job in government,” he wrote at the time.

However, dozens of jobs remain unfilled across Mr Johnson’s party and the Government, raising questions about how work can continue.

Here are all of the jobs that remain unfilled:

Conservative Party co-chairman (vacated by Oliver Dowden)

Conservative Party vice-chairman (vacated by Caroline Johnson)

Conservative Party deputy chairman (vacated by Luke Hall)

Education minister (vacated by Robin Walker)

Environment minister (vacated by Jo Churchill)

Levelling-up minister (vacated by Kemi Badenoch)

Trade and equalities minister (vacated by Mike Freer)

Education minister (vacated by Alex Burghart)

Business minister (vacated by Lee Rowley)

Work and pensions minister (vacated by Mims Davies)

Home Office minister (vacated by Rachel Maclean)

Security minister (vacated by Damian Hinds)

Science minister (vacated by George Freeman)

Pensions minister (vacated by Guy Opperman)

Technology minister (vacated by Chris Philp)

Environment minister (vacated by Rebecca Pow)
