Sir Patrick McLoughlin was the major casualty of Theresa May's latest Cabinet changes – as the party's big guns held onto their posts.
The former Cannock miner quit as Conservative Party Chairman, the position he was appointed to by Mrs May in July 2016.
Sir Patrick, who had previously served as both Transport Secretary and Chief Whip, said he had 'had a very good run' in the Cabinet and had 'enjoyed it immensely'.
He was replaced by Brandon Lewis, albeit amid farcical scenes which saw the Tories' official Twitter account incorrectly announce that the job had gone to Chris Grayling.
Meanwhile Wyre Forest MP Mark Garnier has been sacked as International Trade Minister months after it was revealed he'd asked his former assistant to buy a sex toy.
Downing Street confirmed that Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson, Chancellor Philip Hammond, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, Home Secretary Amber Rudd and Brexit Secretary David Davis will all keep their current jobs.
Meanwhile Justine Greening quit the Government after refusing to take the work and pensions post, having been moved from the education portfolio, Downing Street sources said.
The way Ms Greening left the Government could cause a headache for the PM when the Putney MP, who backed Remain in the referendum campaign, returns to the back benches.
The reshuffle – the biggest of Mrs May's tenure – was prompted by the resignation of Damian Green after he admitted lying over pornography on his office computer.
Former Justice Secretary David Lidington was appointed to Mr Green's old position of Minister for the Cabinet Office, but did not inherit the title of First Secretary of State which marked Mrs May's long-time friend and ally as her effective deputy.
Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire resigned from the Cabinet on grounds of ill-health, just weeks ahead of major surgery for a lesion on his right lung.
Speaking after his departure, Sir Patrick said: "I have been in the Cabinet for eight years and I have had a very good run. I enjoyed it immensely.
"For me it has been a great privilege to be part of it.
"Theresa May got a fantastic popular vote in the general election and she needs to carry on delivering what she has set out to do.
"And she will."
Sir Patrick grew up in Cannock and was a miner at the Littleton Colliery in Staffordshire before entering the world of politics.
He had been under increasing pressure since the Tories disastrous general election campaign and security breach at party conference.
Other moves saw Halesowen and Rowley Regis MP James Morris promoted to the role of Vice-Chairman for Training & Development at Conservative Party headquarters.
He said: "I am pleased to have accepted Vice-Chairman for Training & Development role for the Conservatives by Theresa May.
"I am looking forward to working with Brandon Lewis and James Cleverly to continue to grow and build our party as a campaigning force."
