Well, after all the rumours flying around the corridors of power, today we got our answers of who would stay and who would go.
Here is a quick round-up from the cabinet reshuffle:
Image source, Getty ImagesThis evening there's a brand new cabinet.
It's the second major reshuffle since Boris Johnson became leader of the Conservative party and took over as prime minister from Theresa May in July 2019. The last one took place in February 2020.
Some of the names in the new-look government may be familiar to you - others, not so much.
To help, our visual journalism team has put together a handy guide so you can see who's ended up where. You can find it here.

He highlighted overseeing "a merger of departments, publication of the integrated review and the UK's Indo-Pacific tilt" as among his highlights.
"Global Britain is a force for good in the world served by the finest cadre of diplomats & development experts," he said.
Raab said he was "delighted" to become justice secretary, deputy PM and Lord Chancellor.

At least we know this reshuffle is now over - the prime minister's tweet signals that.
There had been expectation that Johnson would freshen up his team for a while, but the question was always when was the best time to do it.
It is the Conservative Party conference in a couple of weeks and the rule of thumb in Westminster is you either go before or you have to wait until the following year.
So while the reshuffle won't have come as a surprise, the scale of it might have - with wide-ranging changes and some big figures getting the sack.
After a busy day of reshuffling his top team, Boris Johnson takes a brief moment to head to Twitter.
And he promises the new recruits will "work tirelessly" in their roles.

We have had another flurry of confirmations coming out of No 10.
Kit Malthouse will remain as a Home Office minister and attend cabinet too.
Former Brexit adviser Lord Frost stays at the Cabinet Office and the leader of the Tories in the House of Lords will still be Baroness Evans.

The new foreign secretary, Liz Truss, is only the second woman - after Labour's Margaret Beckett - to hold the post.
As a former trade minister, she is a known figure on the international diplomatic circuit, having travelled the world negotiating trade deals that had to be replaced after Brexit.
She will bring some character to a job that often requires a bit of human diplomacy.
Like the prime minister, she is no stranger to the photo-opportunity. But the risk is that her willingness to speak freely might get her into trouble, as she admitted to the BBC's Nick Robinson a few years ago, telling him: “I don’t think anyone would describe me as diplomatic."
Next week, Truss will accompany the PM to the United Nations general assembly in New York.
She will play a key role in the government’s efforts to secure a successful COP26 climate summit in November, and there are many bilateral relationships in need of some repair.
For the new foreign secretary, the learning curve will be steep and unrelenting.
Image source, PA MediaFormer health minister Nadine Dorries has been appointed the new culture secretary, replacing Oliver Dowden.
The Tory MP for Mid Bedfordshire is best known outside Westminster for her 2012 appearance on ITV's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.
Born in Liverpool in 1957, Dorries started out as a nurse before entering politics.
Outside politics she is a published author.
Boris Johnson surprised a few MPs and angered others when he sacked Robert Buckland as justice secretary.
In a letter to the PM, Buckland says it was "the honour of a lifetime" to serve in the role and added that he was "very sorry" to be leaving.
In a handwritten PS at the bottom of his letter he has added: "Please continue investing in ISVAs!!"
ISVAs are independent sexual violence advisers provide support to victims going through the criminal justice system.

The former trade secretary has previously spoken candidly about her diplomacy skills - telling the BBC's Nick Robinson in 2018: "I don't think anyone describes me as a diplomat... and I'm not very diplomatic."
Truss made the admission during an interview for Robinson's Political Thinking podcast, when asked about her views on the then-Brexit deal.
As foreign secretary, Truss will lead the UK's diplomatic mission across the world and be responsible for maintaining and enhancing Britain's image abroad.
She will also be involved in issues of national security, oversee the MI6 intelligence service, honours and Europe.
The Bar Council - which represents barristers - has also drawn attention to the fact Dominic Raab will become the eighth justice secretary in just 10 years.
In a statement, they praised the outgoing minister, Robert Buckland, saying they were "grateful for his willingness, as a former practising barrister, to work collaboratively and listen to the legal professions".
They welcomed lucky number eight, who is also a qualified lawyer, but added: "The need for a consistent and strong voice in government for our justice system could not be greater."
Image source, PA MediaIn more ministers-not-moving news, George Eustice stays on as environment secretary.
Eustice - who is also a farmer - has most recently been in the headlines for his department's decision to cull Geronimo the alpaca after the animal tested positive for bovine tuberculosis.
He said it was "soul-destroying" to have to put animals down but necessary.

Shapps has been the face of the government's pandemic travel restrictions and is due to provide an update on the red, amber and green travel lists on Thursday.
