In an attempt to back things a bit more strong and stable in the Conservative government, which is seeking an agreement with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), Theresa May has reshuffled her cabinet.

Damian Green has become First Secretary of State whilst Liz Truss will replace him as Chief Secretary to the Treasury.

David Gauke is now Work and Pensions Secretary.

David Lidington has been promoted to Justice Secretary and Lord Chancellor.

May has even moved her former leadership opponent Andrea Leadsom from Environment Secretary to Leader of the Commons.

Taking over from Leadsom at Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) is ardent Brexiteer and maligned former Education Secretary Michael Gove.

A very obvious joke started soon after this announcement.

We wonder - can you guess what it is?

Here's a hint:

MICHAEL

GOVE

IS

NOW

IN

CHARGE

OF

FIELDS

OF

WHEAT

We hope just hope there aren't too many experts on wheat fields.
