The second May cabinet was the government of the United Kingdom from June 11, 2017 to July 24, 2019 . Theresa May had been Prime Minister since July 13, 2016 ( Cabinet May I ) ; In April 2017 she initiated a new election in the lower house in the hope of increasing the majority of Tory MPs there and thereby having a better negotiating position for the upcoming negotiations on the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union (Brexit).

In the June 8, 2017 election , her party did not receive a majority of the seats in the lower house. May formed a minority government on June 11, 2017. A contract with the DUP in support of the minority government was signed on June 27, 2017. After Michael Fallon's resignation , Gavin Williamson became the new Secretary of Defense. On the Resignation of Priti Patel followed Penny Mordaunt as new Minister for International Development. Damian Green was asked to resign on December 20, 2017 by May and he did so. His post as First Minister initially remained vacant.

In January 2018, May reshuffled her cabinet to compensate for the loss of Damian Green. She exchanged several ministers, filling Damian Green's previous position with David Lidington . Lidington was replaced by David Gauke as Minister of Justice, while Esther McVey replaced Gauke as Minister of Labor and Pensions. Education Minister Justine Greening , who was initially supposed to move to the Ministry of Labor and Pensions, resigned and was replaced by Damian Hinds , who had previously been State Secretary. James Brokenshire resigned as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and was replaced by Karen Bradley , whose previous position as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sports was filled with Matthew Hancock , previously Secretary of State for Culture. The party leadership of the Conservatives went from Patrick McLoughlin to Brandon Lewis . After Secretary of Defense Gavin Williamson was dismissed on May 1, 2019, his post was filled with Penny Mordaunt, who in turn succeeded former Secretary of State Rory Stewart as Secretary of State for Development.
