Channel 4 privatisation and human rights changes may now be scrapped - think tank
If you're unclear on how a caretaker cabinet works, the BBC has been speaking to Dr Catherine Haddon, senior fellow at the Institute for Government think tank, to shed some light on what it means for policies.
She tells the BBC that Boris Johnson won't be able to continue as normal and will face some restrictions on what he's allowed to do.
"That said, it's not supposed to stop you dealing with the business of government," she adds.
"You have to make judgement calls all the time... where do you need to make decisions about the economy that could prove controversial... where do you need to drop things?
She suggested some policies that could be dropped include privatising Channel 4 and changes to the Human Rights Act, adding "some aspects of the manifesto are now just dead in the water".
