There are enough MPs on both sides of this to cause problems given the size of the majority so the dynamic has changed now. Who knows what will actually happen ...

I can't remember what make up her last cabinet had but the new one has a strong Remain bias:
Prime Minister Theresa May remain
First Secretary of State Damian Green remain
Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond remain
Secretary of State for the Home Department Amber Rudd remain
Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Boris Johnson leave
Secretary of State for Defence Michael Fallon remain
Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union David Davis leave
Secretary of State for International Trade Liam Fox leave
Secretary of State for Justice David Lidington remain
Secretary of State for Education Justine Greening remain
Secretary of State for Business Greg Clark remain
Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt remain
Secretary of State for Work and Pensions David Gauke remain
Leader of the House of Lords Baroness Evans ?
Secretary of State for Transport Chris Grayling leave
Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Sajid Javid remain
Secretary of State for Scotland David Mundell remain
Secretary of State for Wales Alun Cairns remain
Secretary of State for Northern Ireland James Brokenshire remain
Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Michael Gove leave
Secretary of State for International Development Priti Patel leave
Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Karen Bradley remain
The new cabinet involvement in the Government policy making could "soften" previous "hard" Brexit negotiating goals ..
