Things seem to be changing fast in Britain with a new king appointing a new prime minister, while at the same time there is a feeling that the political world is going around in circles.
The new cabinet contains many of the old guard from Liz Truss' team.
Rishi Sunak has brought in allies to head justice, health, levelling up and work and pensions, for instance.
But the secretaries of the foreign office, defence and international trade remain the same. Others have been moved within cabinet.
The most noteworthy appointment is Suella Braverman coming back as home secretary less than a week after resigning for an email security breach.
The real reason was said to be her falling out with Liz Truss over immigration, which is said to have involved a 'heated' 90-minute confrontation.
Ms Braverman wants to reduce migration dramatically down to "tens of thousands" annually as it was a policy commitment and an objective of Brexit.
Ms Truss wanted to increase immigration as a way of boosting the economy, and there is the point of view that Brexit was not about stopping migration but being able to decide who came in.
When Ms Braverman resigned, that could have been the end of that debate for a while. However, Ms Truss is the one now gone and with the return of Ms Braverman, stricter controls on migration are back on the table.
Border control was the fourth issue mentioned by Mr Sunak in his list of objectives, so that argument will continue.
Then there is the Northern Ireland Protocol, which shows that Brexit is not 'done'.
And that is before the cabinet gets down to the really urgent issues as far as the British public is concerned - such as health and the cost of living.
However, anyone hoping for new ideas will have been disappointed by the statements made today by Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss, which could have been taken word for word from their leadership TV debates and hustings over the summer.
And now, just as then, the recent departure of Boris Johnson hangs over proceedings with a threatened return at some time in the future.

Mr Sunak tried to talk realism as he saw it - and the facts have borne him out - that Britain is facing an economic crisis.
He said: "The government I lead will not leave the next generation ... with a debt to settle that we were too weak to pay ourselves."
By that, he meant that debt needs to be reduced through spending cuts or "difficult decisions" as he put it.
But his top three priorities were health, education and policing, which all involved government spending.
And just as during the leadership debates, Ms Truss was having none of the caution. She said a leader should be "bold" and "dare", which contrasts with the stability that Mr Sunak and Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt have been preaching.
Ms Truss repeated her belief that the focus should be on low taxes, growth and small government.
She also stated she wanted to do things differently in Britain post Brexit, which she said means "restoring power in democratic institutions".
Many would see that as part of the attack on institutional bodies such as the courts, the Bank of England and the Civil Service, which have been the subject of so much Conservative ire in recent years.
Ms Truss giving her speech was as if the market crash, her U-turns and apology had never happened and that nothing had been decided about the merits of 'Trussonomics'.
She may be out, but her ideas are not. The ongoing arguments about taxes, immigration and EU trade continue to rage between the Libertarian and Social Democrat wings of the party.
Mr Sunak has told the Tory party to "unite or die" but on the basis of today's statements the differing wings show little sign of being able to agree an economic path.
Starting with not being able to decide what type of Brexit it wants, the Conservative party is consequently divided on what type of Britain it wants.
And that will remain, no matter what the cabinet line up.
